DIVE DEEPER WITH NOMAD

Nomad is a battery-powered tankless diving system that floats on the surface like a buoy and delivers you compressed air through a hose as you breathe underwater, to a depth of 9 metres. Battery run time is typically about 45-60 minutes and spare batteries can be swapped in seconds for extra dive time.

Nomad is for experienced divers who want convenience and simplicity, but a lot more depth performance for exploring deeper waters, reefs, wrecks & more. 

UNDERWATER ADVENTURE AWAITS

This hookah style dive system is more than capable of supporting a wide range of deep underwater activities including boat maintenance, underwater exploration, photography, underwater metal detecting and more.

DiveBLU3 have made these and many other kinds of underwater adventures more convenient and more accessible than ever with the NOMAD Dive System.

BEST FOR EXPERIENCED DIVERS

Whether you're diving Nomad Mini or Nomad, make sure you take the BLU3 Online Dive Training Course before diving. With a maximum depth of 9 metres underwater, Nomad is best suited for experienced divers.

We strongly recommend diving with a backup air supply such as Spare Air (sold seperately) and getting SCUBA certified to further your diving skills.

CARRY AND CHARGE ANYWHERE

Compared to traditional scuba set ups, the Nomad Tankless Dive System provides an incredibly powerful, portable package that is easy to store and travel with inside the included backpack.

This makes getting to those secluded coves or remote swimming holes significantly easier, and recharging is as simple as plugging into any standard 240v outlet.

THE SMART REG™

What allows Nomad to be so compact, energy-efficient, and responsive is the patented Smart Reg™ – the first of its kind!

Here’s how it works: A silicone diaphragm inside the Smart Reg™ moves when the diver breathes.

A waterproofed sensor measures the diaphragm movement – it then sends an electronic signal which triggers the compressor to pump air at exactly the time and speed that the diver is inhaling.

DRY FLOAT BAG

The Dry Bag Float provides buoyancy, visibility, and waterproof storage for dry items. It has two air reservoirs that can be inflated by mouth with ease to provide 44 lb of buoyancy.

It’s bright colour will help notify surrounding boaters of your location. Store dry items inside the waterproof compartment while you enjoy your dive with Nomad.

THE BLU3 BACKPACK

Take Nomad with you to any dive spots here in Australia, or around the world with the BLU3 Backpack, designed specifically to make carrying Nomad and the rest of your gear as easy as possible.

This V2 BLU3 Backpack holds everything required for using your Nomad, and can also accommodate your fins externally (fins for illustrations purposes only).

THE BATTERY PACK

Nomad is powered by a custom lithium-ion battery pack that is swappable and rechargeable. The pack and connector are IP67-rated to handle saltwater environments.

It’s 144 Wh, so it is allowed in carry-on luggage on most airlines! A charge-level indicator is located right on the battery itself so that you can always check your battery level. Be sure to grab a few extra packs so that you can dive all day long!

THE COMPRESSOR

With deeper depths, higher pressure and flow rates are required for diving. This custom design by BLU3 is made to fit this application. For example; even if you were to accidentally get saltwater inside your pump, no damage will be done! Just rinse freshwater through.

The flotation shell is rotomolded from hard, durable plastic and filled with foam so that it’s unsinkable. Although, you should use the Dry Bag Float whenever you dive for additional buoyancy, stability, and visibility.

THE AIR HOSE

Nomad’s 12 metre air hose is the perfect balance of weight, flexibility, and durability. The coils prevent the hose from kinking and make it super easy to handle. Bungee the hose up for easy storage. (The air hose is longer than max depth to allow for more scope, making Nomad easier to tow while diving at max depth).

The buoyancy of the hose allows excess to float on the surface so that it stays clear of you, the marine environment, and other divers underwater.

WHERE IS NOMAD MADE?

Florida, USA by BLU3 (pronounced "blue" like the colour of the ocean).

BLU3’s sister company, Brownie’s Third Lung, has been an industry leader in surface-supplied diving products for over 50 years. This means that BLU3 products are backed by decades of experience from people who you can trust.

BLU3 is headquartered in Florida in the United States, a location that allows their team to design, build, and test right in their own backyard. It is through their relentless commitment to research and development that we’ve been able to create the world’s smallest dive system.

Here in Australia, Detect-Ed is proud to supply and use Blu3 products.

CAN I TAKE NOMAD ON A PLANE?

Absolutely! The lithium battery used is under the limit and accepted by most airlines in carry-on luggage so that you can travel around the world with Nomad. The Nomad inside its backpack will fit as carry-on luggage, or you can put the unit through checked baggage while bringing the battery as carry-on. Be prepared by bringing your Air Travel Certificate along in case it's requested.

IS THERE A SMALLER, CHEAPER VERSION OF THE NOMAD THAT STILL LETS ME DIVE DEEP?

Absolutely!

For up to depths of 5m, in a cheaper and smaller form factor check out the Nomad MINI HERE.

You can also boost your dive time with the Nomad Mini using the optional DIVEBOOST KITS and stack more batteries onto the unit!
