Our Story
BLU3 is an innovative company steadfastly dedicated to crafting the most user-friendly dive systems to ever float on the ocean’s surface. Our battery-powered, tankless dive systems are transforming the way people engage with the underwater world through our patented Smart Reg™ technology.

Nomad Mini combines the portability of our phased out Nemo with enhanced performance, offering a depth of 15 feet, adding an optional DiveBoost kit allows divers to extend dive time..
