We aren’t trying to replace SCUBA, it’s still great for deep dives and cave diving. We created AirBuddy to provide an easy alternative for self-guided shallow water diving. Unable to find the right product on the market for our underwater explorations in Sydney and on our travels, we set out the goal to build a small, lightweight, and easy to use dive gear.
We realized the potential of a surface supported breathing apparatus for self-guided recreational shallow water diving. We are sometimes tired by all the hassle, time and expense that comes along with preparing for SCUBA diving. Although we live on the beach, we found out that we don’t dive as often as we wish. We are passionate divers and underwater lovers. This is a great idea, how did Jan come up with the AirBuddy? We caught up with them to learn first-hand about their invention. Months ago it shot to internet superstardom with a viral Kickstarter campaign which sent it soaring across the globe. It’s with good fortune and possibly the niche community in which we all dwell that Deepblu and AirBuddy met in person at AIDE 2017 in Sydney.įor those not in-the-know, the AirBuddy is a surface-level diving apparatus created by diver and inventor Jan Kadlec that charges at home and allows for tank-free diving via a floating air compressor that not only comes with its own floatation device, but a flag to mark that there’s a diver below.
A few months ago we ran a feature on the AirBuddy, the convenient breathing system for the trained diver on the go.
