BLU3 Nomad Portable Battery-Powered Dive System
Description
The BLU3 Nomad is the world's most portable and user-friendly surface-supplied dive system, giving you the freedom to explore underwater without the bulk of traditional scuba tanks. Powered by a rechargeable 144 Wh lithium-ion battery, the Nomad delivers 45-60 minutes of typical dive time per charge and reaches depths of up to 30 feet - perfect for reef exploration, underwater treasure hunting, hull cleaning, and boat maintenance. At just 15 pounds, it floats above and tows behind you as you dive, staying out of your way while keeping a steady supply of air at the ready.
At the heart of the system is BLU3's patented Smart Reg technology, which senses your inhale and signals the compressor to deliver air precisely when you need it - making the Nomad remarkably compact, energy-efficient, and natural to breathe from. Designed and assembled in Davie, Florida, the Nomad is built with corrosion-resistant components for saltwater environments and comes ready to dive right out of the box with a backpack, Dry Bag Float, dive flag, and training course access included.

FAQ
Do I need scuba certification to use the BLU3 Nomad?
Scuba certification is not required to use the Nomad, but all users must complete the free BLU3 Online Dive Training Course, read the owner's manual, and complete the BLU3 Fitness to Dive Evaluation. You must also be able to swim 200 yards without stopping and tread water continuously for 10 minutes. BLU3 strongly recommends Spare Air as a reserve air supply and further scuba training for added safety.
How long does the battery last, and can I extend dive time?
The standard 144 Wh battery delivers 45-60 minutes of typical runtime per charge, depending on depth and breathing rate. You can extend your session by swapping in a spare standard battery for another 45-60 minutes, or by adding the optional Nomad 3X Battery for up to 3 hours of runtime. Selecting additional spare batteries at checkout is the easiest way to maximize your time underwater.
Can I use the Nomad in saltwater?
Yes - the Nomad is specifically designed for saltwater environments. Its compressor uses corrosion-resistant components and is engineered to handle the marine environment. After each saltwater dive, thoroughly soak the unit in fresh water and follow the cleaning and maintenance procedures in the owner's manual. If saltwater enters the pump, follow the prescribed freshwater flushing procedure outlined in the manual.
Can I travel with the Nomad on an airplane?
Yes, with some planning. The BLU3 Backpack is sized for carry-on travel, and the standard 144 Wh battery must be transported in carry-on baggage with airline approval confirmed beforehand. You can check the system while carrying the battery separately. Note that the optional Nomad 3X Battery is not airline travel friendly. Always confirm battery requirements with your specific airline before traveling.
What is the Nomad suitable for beyond recreational diving?
The Nomad is a versatile tool for a wide range of underwater activities. Customers use it for spearfishing, underwater treasure hunting with metal detectors, hull cleaning, propeller inspections, and general underwater boat maintenance - all within its 30-foot depth limit. Its compact size makes it easy to store aboard a vessel for day trips or longer voyages.
What age restrictions apply to using the Nomad?
Users ages 8-9 are restricted to swimming pools where the water is shallow enough to stand with their head above the surface. Users must be at least 10 years old to dive outside a pool. All users under 18 require parental or guardian supervision at all times. All users regardless of age must complete the required training course and fitness evaluation before diving.
