The Avelo System
The Avelo System is an innovative scuba diving setup designed to enhance buoyancy control, reduce equipment weight, and improve overall diving efficiency and safety. Avelo’s Hydrotank is used to store water as a counterweight. This approach simplifies buoyancy management substantially, because depth changes do not cause buoyancy changes.
Avelo-trained divers become better, more efficient, and more reliable, no matter what system they dive.
Avelo isn’t just an upgrade. It’s a breakthrough in diving education.
Avelo Dive Centers set themselves apart by offering the most cutting-edge training. By replacing the heavy scuba setup with a lightweight, water-integrated buoyancy system, Avelo significantly cuts the total gear weight while refining divers’ lung control, watermanship, awareness, and efficiency.
This creates more capable, self-reliant divers, which makes your training program stronger and your students better. Your students will hover like pros even when you are not looking at them. They will remain in neutral buoyancy when taking photos or when the dive guide shows them the little things.
Why it matters to professionals
- Instructors Teach a system that accelerates mastery of fundamental dive skills on both Avelo and standard scuba.
- Technicians Maintain and service a streamlined, next-gen system.
- Dive Shop Owners Attract serious divers and differentiate your business with Avelo certification. Avelo is a gateway to continuing training and education with multiple agencies.
