Ronn W "I would give Airbuddy 10 Stars if I could. It's like scuba diving except easier. Everything is lighter, quicker, more spontaneous, and freer. I really think this can replace most recreational scuba diving. Breathing under the water and exploring a completely different world is exciting and relaxing all at the same time I can't wait for more people to experience it. ..." Florida, US Priyanka Kumar "I'm not new to the hooka system so I've had experience with different tankless systems before but Airbuddy wins my heart when it comes to exploring the ocean. Compared to Nemo, which is another tankless system in market, I would have to say Airbuddy knocks off as the winner for me..." California, USA Harry Rosenthal "...After using the AirBuddy for a number of months, and over dozens of dives, I am extremely delighted with its logical design, operating simplicity, compact size, air power and especially its portability, when compared to other units I have used over the years..." NSW, Australia Grey Filastine "We have one on our ship, and it's in the top five most useful things aboard. Up there with sails and a motor. Use it to unfoul the prop, scrape the hull, etc." Indonesia Matt Henderson "I have had my Airbuddy for about a year and just love it. It's so easy now to pop down to the beach and go for be dive whenever I want. I love how free and fast I can move without tanks on my back. Took it to Fiji last year, best diving holiday ever. If you're thinking about getting one, I highly recommend it..." NSW, Australia Manuel Alexandrescu "... Excellent communication and support from the AirBuddy team, before and after buying their product. All in one, a very nice experience and very happy, I fully recommend the AirBuddy, 5 stars from my side." Romania Saeed Alsuwaidi "I own 2 of this AirBuddy. I really enjoy it and have fun with them in Dubai & Maldives, really useful, safe and great machines to clean my yachts and boats. I have it now almost 1 year and almost I use it every weekend ... I believe for value of money its great product to use." UAE Daniel Powell "...It's a brilliant product and works like a dream. I have been out shore diving several times and it's the perfect bridge when you're not in the mood to go on a full dive but want to get more than just snorkel. A convenient, quick and easy way to get under the water..." NSW, Australia Inge Richardson "I got one for Christmas! I love it! Makes it so much easier to catch a lobster than snorkeling. I should mention I am 76 years old." Florida, US Pets P "For me, it's like a dream came true... diving 12m for one hour than after a break - battery change and second hour... easy to take on flight or any other travel variation! Solid and reliable product with best customer-service ..." Austria Low River Outfitters "Great product and great business. I ordered the AirBuddy system for my dives in the river and it has performed flawlessly with single and dual divers. The reg breathes extremely smooth and the system has no problem supplying air to divers at all depths. Customer service has been very prompt and responsive..." Texas, US Bill Morris III "... Machine works great, battery life in my case has been excellent as well as ease of operation. I am impressed that if the system quits or you shut it down for some reason there is quite a bit of reserve air so no need to panic, which was an early concern until I was able to use the system ..." North Carolina, US Dave C "I bought my AirBuddy over a year ago and wish I had gotten it sooner, it is awesome to use. I've traveled with it to Aruba twice now and also use it at home in our lake. Diving with it allows you get right down close to the sea life, down to 40 feet. I use it for underwater photography and metal detecting. ..." Maine, US Skyler Wes "Got my air buddy here in thailand, super fast shipping from Australia. Dive multiple times a week now. It's very well built and high quality, reminds me of an apple product." Thailand Akin B "... Already by the first dive I could realize how simple and effective it is to be used. It gives me the unbelievable freedom of moving under the sea.

The system is easy to use and easily transported, and the purchasing was made easy by the great communications we had with the firm. Now that things are improving here we can't wait to get out and get back into it." NSW, Australia Magdalena Lenik "AirBuddy is great! I received package without any problems, the communication with staff is excellent and the product is worth money!

France Pat Ogburn "I have been using my AirBuddy for the past year for lobster diving and reef diving in the Florida Keys and the Bahamas.

Lugging my tanks to the dive shop for refilling ... is a thing of the past ..." Alabama, US Peter VanHofer "... just came back from an awesome diving vacation at Tenerife/ Canary islands. Airbuddy purrt like a cat (austrian proverb for a high performing machine). Tons of air at max. depth ..." Austria Heinz Fridrich "I use AirBuddy one year and its works perfect. I use it in a Lake and also at a Reef. The Buddy Back is realy fun with your Partner till 6m. But the best criteria for me is, i can Dive 12m and most of the time till 1h. In December i flight with AirBuddy to Indonesia and had no Problem at all flights." Austria Mark Dutton "I have used my Airbuddy to work on the bottom of my boat and to look for crays in the bay where we moor at Rottnest Island. It is a great little unit. It is lightweight and it gives a great amount of dive time ... I like that it has a LiFEP04 battery as these like to be kept charged, which means I can just grab it and go at any time. ..." WA, Australia Skye Scrutton "We've had our airbuddy for a couple of years now and it works just as great as the first day we used it. The quality of the hoses, regs and compressor is great - I honestly don't know how they managed that for the price. We mostly take our airbuddy out for shore dives in Western Australia, with our fave spot being the Ningaloo reef ..." WA, Australia

Do not dive without a proper dive training! 
Diving can be dangerous.

Do not dive without a proper dive training!

Safety first

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! Unless you dive more than twice 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 maximum ascent rates recommended by PADI. Avoid diving down and ascending frequently. Do not fly after diving. Please, dive responsibly, know your limits and never dive to a depth you don’t feel comfortable ascending from in case of an emergency. 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.
  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. Please dive responsibly!
