Explore beneath the surface without hauling traditional scuba tanks. The BLU3 Nomad Mini is a compact, battery-powered dive system that floats at the surface and delivers compressed air through a flexible hose as you breathe underwater.
Designed for dives as deep as 15 feet, the Nomad Mini is an excellent companion for shallow-water metal detecting, treasure hunting, boat maintenance, hull inspection and recreational underwater exploration. Its lightweight design makes it easy to transport to beaches, lakes, rivers and marinas.
Compact Tankless Diving
The Nomad Mini uses BLU3’s patented Smart Reg™ technology to activate the compressor as the diver inhales. The system automatically adjusts its output according to the diver’s breathing and depth, helping conserve battery power while providing air on demand.
Because the compressor remains at the surface, there are no bulky scuba tanks to carry underwater or refill after every dive.
Ideal for Shallow-Water Treasure Hunting
Search submerged beaches, swimming areas, docks and other promising locations while remaining underwater longer than conventional snorkeling allows. Its portable design makes the Nomad Mini especially useful for metal detectorists working in shallow water where coins, jewelry and other valuables may be hidden.

Important Safety Information
Diving is an inherently hazardous activity. Every user must read and understand the owner’s manual, complete the BLU3 Fitness to Dive Evaluation and complete the BLU3 online dive-training course before using the Nomad Mini.
BLU3 strongly recommends using an independent reserve-air system. Users must follow all manufacturer instructions, depth restrictions, fitness requirements, age restrictions and safe-diving practices.
The Nomad Mini contains strong magnets that may interfere with pacemakers and other medical implants. Individuals with pacemakers or medical implants should not use the system and must remain at least two feet away from its main body.
The ultimate dive system for experienced divers who want to explore deeper reefs, shipwrecks, and underwater wonders hassle-free. With a maximum depth of 15 feet, Nomad Mini can be used with one battery or, for even longer dives, a DiveBoost™ Kit can be added to connect a second battery. Nomad Mini is airline-friendly and lightweight, making it the perfect solution for boat owners and divers on the go. Don't let equipment hold you back from your next adventure.
Nomad Mini is the newest addition to the BLU3 product line. The Blu3 engineering team has accepted feedback from users of Nemo and Nomad to combine the best features of each, so Nomad Mini delivers the sweet spot between portability and performance.

Here are a few of the most exciting design considerations:
The DiveBoost™ Kit allows for use of more than one battery at a time so you can dive for longer without swapping the battery.
Nomad Mini batteries boast a 20% greater capacity than the Nemo batteries. Existing Nemo owners can seamlessly upgrade to the Nomad Mini without purchasing new batteries. Furthermore, traveling with the Nomad Mini batteries is more convenient than with Nomad batteries due to their being less than 100 Wh.
Allows for optional use of either the Flotation Tube, Dry Bag Float, neither, or both, depending on your situation and conditions.
