AirBuddy bridges the gap between snorkelling and SCUBA diving.
"It's a battery powered portable dive compressor that floats on the surface above you and follows along as you dive." |

Single Diver Pack
This package is suitable for a single diver. Dive up to 12m (40ft) deep to discover amazing underwater life!
Items Included - 1x AirBuddy - 1x Dive flag - 1x Harness & regulator - 1x Single diver hose - 1x Lithium battery - 1x Charger |
Buddy Diver Pack
Connect 2 hoses to one AirBuddy and dive with your buddy up to 6m (20ft) deep. Enjoy the shallows!
Items Included - 1x AirBuddy - 1x Dive flag - 2x Harness & regulator - 2x Buddy diver hoses - 1x Lithium battery - 1x Charger |
Duo Diver Pack
Two divers, each with own AirBuddy, dive up to 12m (40ft) deep. Link your AirBuddies together to float in a formation!
Items Included - 2x AirBuddy - 2x Dive flag - 2x Harness & regulator - 2x Single diver hose - 2x Lithium battery - 2x Charger |
Any AirBuddy can be either used with one 12m (40ft) hose for a single diver or with two 6m (20ft) hoses for buddy divers. There is no difference between the units. All units are fitted with two self-sealing air couplers. The difference between the packs is just what hoses and how many harnesses with regulator are included in the price. You can upgrade from the single diver pack to the buddy diver pack at a later stage by simply purchasing the buddy diver hoses and an additional harness with regulator.
Safety in mind
You breathe compressed air when diving with AirBuddy. You must therefore learn the diving theory, understand the risks and develop safety skills, e.g. to "never hold your breath!". Please, dive responsibly, know your limits and never dive to a depth you don't feel comfortable ascending from in case of an emergency. With AirBuddy, you dive deep enough to explore the beauty of marine life, but not deep enough to run a serious risk of decompression sickness - unless you dive more than 3 times in a row (or have accumulated some nitrogen from previous diving), you are within the no decompression limit (NDL). With shallow water diving, you are seconds away from the surface. For example, an ascent from 6m (20ft) takes about 20sec and from 12m (40ft) about 40sec at the PADI recommended ascent rates. Avoid diving down and ascending frequently.
In an unlikely event of an emergency, you can use 2 backup systems before needing to perform CESA (controlled emergency swimming ascent). 1) Use 16L compressed emergency air contained in the air reservoir, which provides about 4-5 breaths at 12m depth to about 12-15 breaths when close to surface at about 1m depth; 2) Use 100% redundant egressor/ pony bottle - size of your choice (purchased separately); 3) CESA - Swim towards the surface while slowly breathing out (making the "aaaaaah" sound). Although AirBuddy provides various safety features, YOU are the ultimate guardian of your own safety!
