Avelo Dive System
Dive Without Weights or BCD
The first major innovation in recreational diving in decades. The Avelo System uses water-based buoyancy control, eliminating the need for traditional weights and bulky BCDs.
How Avelo Works
Hydrotank
Instead of a regular scuba tank, Avelo uses a special "Hydrotank" with an inner bladder. This lightweight tank allows water to be pumped in or out to control buoyancy.
Jetpack (No, Not That Kind)
The Jetpack is a simple backplate and harness with a battery-powered pump. One button adds water for descent, another removes it for ascent. No inflator hose needed.
Stable Buoyancy
Because you're controlling water (which doesn't compress) instead of air (which does), your buoyancy stays stable as you change depth. No constant adjustments needed.
Why Divers Love It
No Weights
Eliminate 10-20 lbs of lead weights. Lighter equipment, easier setup.
No BCD
Ditch the bulky BCD. Streamlined profile, better hydrodynamics.
Stable Buoyancy
Water doesn't compress like air. Your buoyancy stays constant at all depths.
Perfect for Beginners
Easier to learn, less to manage. Focus on the dive, not equipment.
Better for Photography
Maintain perfect trim without constant adjustments. Shoot sharper images.
Travel Friendly
No weights to pack. Lighter luggage, lower airline fees.
