Feel the freedom of diving Avelo

Avelo is a new diving experience. Enjoy smoother, longer dives with lighter and safer gear.

This revolutionary dive system reimagines buoyancy control by using the tank itself to experience perfect neutral buoyancy without adjusting for depth. The Avelo System consists of two components, the Jetpack and the Hydrotank. When you add water to the Hydrotank, you become heavier. When you purge water, you become lighter. Because there is no compressible air volume, you are neutrally buoyant without adjusting for depth changes.

As an Avelo Dive Center, we offer the future of scuba diving. Learn how to dive the Avelo System by joining our Recreational Avelo Diver (RAD) specialty course. With this certification, you can shore-dive Bonaire with ease or dive Avelo on our boats and around the world at any Avelo Dive Center.
