Compare our tankless dive systems and standard dive systems to find the perfect set-up for your next dive. Our systems are designed for both beginner and experienced divers.

Tankless Dive Systems

Tankless diving is a great way to explore the ocean without needing to learn or become certified in scuba diving. This simple, beginner-friendly diving method uses an air compressor at the surface to supply air for divers to breathe below the surface.

While tankless diving isn’t as common as scuba diving, it offers snorkelers, vacationers, and aquatic enthusiasts a way to explore the shallower depths of the ocean and get the full coral reef experience without intensive training or overspending on expensive equipment.

How Does a Tankless Dive System Work?

Tankless dive systems are also called hookah systems, surface-supplied diving, and surface air systems. Most tankless dive systems consist of an air compressor, long hoses, second-stage regulators, and a flotation device. The compressor sits in the center of the floatation device so it can safely float above the divers. Hoses extend under the surface where they connect to the second-stage regulators that divers use to breathe. 

Battery Powered and Electric Tankless Dive Systems

Most electric-powered tankless dive systems operate using continuous 110 volt AC electric power. Electric systems must connect to a reliable power source like a boat or a dock. 

If you’re looking for a system that can operate independently, you may want to use a battery-powered tankless dive system. Battery-powered systems offer a few hours of run time and can float independently of boats, docks, or buoys, so they offer greater flexibility.

Gas Powered Units

Gas-powered tankless systems traditionally offer around three hours of diving time per gallon of gas. Like battery-powered systems, they don’t need to be tethered to a boat or a dock, so divers can enjoy plenty of flexibility when choosing dive sites to explore.

Accessories and Replacement Parts

Most surface-supplied diving systems come as a full kit with all of the supplies you need to get started, but it's always a good idea to stock up on important accessories. Consider outfitting your tankless dive system with spare hoses, weight belts, and second stage regulators so you can add additional divers to the system or make adjustments or repairs on the fly.

The most reliable and established brands for tankless dive systems are Air Line, Brownie’s Third Lung, and XS Scuba. With plenty of electric, battery-powered, or gas-run systems to choose from, these great brands will set you up for countless hours of fun beneath the waves.
