Take Nomad On Your Next Adventure
Compact and lightweight, Nomad offers everything you want from a portable dive system. Now you can explore deeper, without the hassle of coming up for air every few minutes. Nomad is for experienced divers who want the convenience and simplicity of Nemo but the depth performance for diving deeper reefs, shipwrecks and more.
Nomad Is Best For Experienced Divers
Whether you're diving with the Nomad Mini or Nomad, make sure to complete the BLU3 Online Dive Training Course before heading underwater. With a maximum depth of 30 feet, Nomad is ideal for experienced divers, while the Nomad Mini is perfect for shallow dives and recreational use. We strongly recommend using a Spare Air (available as an add-on from the dropdown) and considering SCUBA certification to enhance your diving skills
Portability
Similar to Nemo, our Nomad dive system is ultra portable, but allows the diver to explore depths of up to 30 feet.
Fast Battery Replacement
Switching out the Nomad battery takes about 20 seconds and gives you an extra 45-60 minutes of dive time.
Dry Bag Float
The Nomad dive system comes complete with a dry bag float which offers waterproof storage, 44lbs of buoyancy and is visible to boaters.
Why Choose Nomad Over Nomad Mini?
The BLU3 Nomad is the go-to option for divers who need more depth and longer dive capabilities. Here’s why it might be the right choice for you:
Reach Greater Depths:
The Nomad’s stronger air pump, powered by a 144 Wh battery, allows divers to go down to 30 feet. This extra depth makes it a great option for boat and sailboat owners who need to work on deeper sections of their hull or keel.
Extended Runtime
With its larger battery, the Nomad provides longer dive times compared to the Mini, making it ideal for more involved tasks or longer underwater sessions.
Extra Depth for Boat Owners
For boat and sailboat owners, the additional 15 feet of depth compared to the Mini allows for better access to deeper parts of a vessel, making the Nomad a great tool for maintenance and inspection.
Portability with Power
At 15 lbs, the Nomad is slightly heavier than the Mini (12 lbs) but still compact enough to transport and store easily on a boat or in tight spaces.
The Nomad is an excellent choice for divers, boat owners, and treasure hunters who need more depth and runtime, making it a versatile tool for underwater projects or exploration.
The Smart Reg™
What allows Nomad to be so compact, energy-efficient, and responsive is our 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.
The Compressor
With deeper depths, higher pressure and flow rates are required for diving. Our custom compressor designed by our team in Florida, USA has been customized to fit this application. For example – even if you accidentally get saltwater inside your pump, no damage will be done. Just rinse freshwater through. Don’t try that with any other compressors!
Nomad’s flotation shell surrounding the compressor gives the unit inherent buoyancy without the need for a flotation tube. The flotation shell is rotomolded from hard, durable plastic and filled with foam so that it’s unsinkable. That being said, you should use the Dry Bag Float whenever you dive for additional buoyancy, stability, and visibility.
The Battery Pack
Nomad is powered by a custom lithium-ionbattery packthat 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!
Dry Bag Float
TheDry Bag Floatprovides 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 color will help notify surrounding boaters of your location. Store dry items inside the waterproof compartment while you enjoy your dive with Nomad.
The Air Hose
Nomad’s 40-footair hoseis 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. (Hose is longer than max depth to allow for more scope, making Nomad easier to tow while diving at max depth).
BLU3 Backpack
Take Nomad with you to new dive spots around the world with theBLU3 Backpack, designed specifically to make carrying Nomad or Nemo and the rest of your gear as easy as possible.
