Avelo Dive System FAQs – The Future of Buoyancy Control

The Avelo System is a new lightweight scuba setup that uses a pressurized tank of water and air to control buoyancy — removing the need for a BCD or lead weights. It provides a more natural, stable dive experience with automatic neutral buoyancy.

Traditional BCDs require constant inflation/deflation and use lead weights for buoyancy control. Avelo replaces this with a water-based tank system that keeps you neutrally buoyant throughout the dive — automatically and effortlessly.

The Avelo Jetpack is the latest version of the system — integrating tank, harness, and buoyancy control into a single lightweight unit. It provides an even sleeker, more balanced profile for divers of all levels.

Yes. Avelo has undergone years of development and rigorous testing. It’s designed to reduce buoyancy errors and make diving easier and safer for all experience levels.

Absolutely! At the moment, you need to be Open Water certified, but once you’ve got that, many divers say Avelo makes their first dive feel easier and more natural. Our entry-level Avelo Certification Course is a great next step for both new and experienced divers.

Avelo systems work with DIN-compatible regulators (not yoke). Most standard fins, masks, wetsuits, and accessories are compatible — but Avelo replaces your BCD and weights.

The battery lasts a full day of diving — up to 4 dives — and charges quickly. New versions continue improving efficiency.

Pricing isn’t finalized globally. Avelo gear is currently available through dive centres like Abyss — rent it or take a course.

Yes. The battery is airline-compliant. Just check with your airline about lithium battery restrictions.
