Anyone Using The Nemo Blu3 Portable Dive System?

[matt]

The email I received was directly from Blu3 and it said 30% off and free shipping. It didn't state if it was US only. I would give it a try!

That is U.S. I am guessing Matt?  

 

The 30% discount actually says...

"Save even more this Black Friday with a 30% OFF coupon & free shipping within Contiguous United States  "

 

So it maybe 30% off for any place in the world but only free shipping in the USA, you may want to send them an email to confirm if the 30% applies worldwide.

Hi GS, thanks for checking it out more.   I did get on their U.S. website and went through to checkout but it then said that it could not be shipped to my location.  All good, we have 2 distributors here in Oz and one currently has $300 off as a bit of a deal.  Unfortunately I don’t want to purchase right at the moment due to REALLY high river levels.  With only a 1 yr warranty I don’t want to buy until I can commence using it  ??‍♂️

Hi TTT, 

Glad to hear it is going well.  Just wondering who you purchased through - Detect-Ed or underwater.com.au ?   

Are you using in salt or fresh mainly?  

Cheers, N.E.  

Hi matey, I purchased it from Detect-Ed and only use it in saltwater, as there's not really any fresh water areas nearby. Just be sure to enquire about the Nomad recall if you're looking to purchase one. I haven't had any issues with mine but I think there was about 30 out of 1500 sold which had an issue with the internal compressor breaking? Something along the lines of that. 

 

I have a couple videos using the Nomad & detecting on my instagram if you felt like checking them out. Https://instagram.com/aus_metal_detecting

Hi all,

I just bit the bullet and purchased a Nemo Blu3 portable dive system as another tool in my metal detecting arsenal. For those who don't know about the Nemo, here are a couple of videos that show what it can do:

I'd love to compare notes with those here who are using a Nemo Blu3 with their Nox underwater. I haven't used it yet myself as I had to put it in my shipment to Vietnam, where I will be starting a new job in a couple of months. So I'm just doing a lot of research at this point.

The only problem I am hearing so far is that the Nox can be difficult to hear underwater over the Nemo Blu3 regulator whether you use the Minelab "yellow" underwater headphones or don't use headphones at all. For anyone using the Nemo with their Nox (or diving at all), have you been able to find an alternative underwater headphone with better sound or another workaround? Thanks in advance!

Hey Alby, I can't seem to find any details about the unit in Australia. See my posts on sniping under the gold panning forum. On our last trip we were working an area where it got too deep and came to the conclusion that we need a hookah unit. We are looking at a Chinese unit based on price, an Australian made unit based on quality and parts and serviceability, as well as the Nemo. All I can find about the Nemo is that it's by a Florida based company, is it made in the USA ? And after using it for a few years what's your verdict. Your opinion and any others that are use this hookah system or similar would be appreciated.

Nemo is working properly.

The recall is only for Nomad.

Nomad (30 ft max) and Nemo (10 ft max) are different products.

Thats exactly what I said ?

I may give the Blue Nemo another shot this summer...it sure worked nice when it did and it's easy to tote around for shallow water hunting...I was really disappointed that it broke so quickly...there is another gentleman on another site that I have been talking with and he has only had to send his in once for repairs in about 3 years of use...sounds like the company backs their product...

Hey strick, after reading all the comments the Nemo does seem to have some problems. The very thing that makes it so efficient on battery power may also make it prone to unreliability i.e. a switch in the regulator that keeps turning the compressor on and off. Think I'll look at an Australian made unit AirBuddy their website has a complete list of spare parts which makes it user serviceable. I would prefer to see that than videos with pretty girls.
