Discover Avelo — The Future of Scuba Diving on Roatan.
Lighter. Smarter. More Natural Buoyancy.
What is Avelo?
Avelo replaces the traditional air-based buoyancy with water-based buoyancy. As it turns out, air is highly reactive to pressure, so the Avelo system uses water to generate changes in buoyancy. The system offers industry-changing benefits: the first is that it is much lighter, and the second is that it offers a larger buoyancy zone for the diver to move about without having to make any adjustments to the scuba equipment.
This means less weight on your back, longer bottom times, improved air consumption, and a more intuitive, natural diving experience — whether you're a new diver or a seasoned pro exploring Roatan's reefs.

Jetpack
The Avelo Jetpack is the lightweight control center of the system. It features a sturdy backplate, harness, and a high-pressure battery-powered pump that lets you add or remove water from the Hydrotank with a single button press for effortless buoyancy control.
Hydrotank
The Avelo Hydrotank is a revolutionary lightweight COPV — a carbon overwrapped pressurized vessel. It replaces the traditional BCD and weight belt, using water instead of air for buoyancy, delivering superior stability and a dramatically lighter setup.
Re-chargeable Battery
The rechargeable battery fully recharges in just 40 minutes. It can be quickly swapped or removed for charging and uses the same proven technology as cave diving lights. A green indicator light confirms it is ready to dive.
Revolutionary
Avelo is a groundbreaking lightweight scuba system that redefines buoyancy control. Instead of relying on a traditional BCD with compressible air, Avelo uses the surrounding water to achieve stable, depth-independent neutral buoyancy.
How it works
Avelo System Explained
At the surface, the Hydrotank is positively buoyant — you float effortlessly.
To descend, simply press a button on the Jetpack. The pump draws water from the ocean into the Hydrotank, adding weight and compressing the breathing gas bladder for perfect neutral buoyancy.
Once set, your buoyancy remains stable throughout the dive — no constant inflating or deflating like a traditional BCD.
On ascent or at the surface, release the water to regain positive buoyancy.
The Avelo System consists of two main components: the innovative Hydrotank (a carbon fiber and aluminum tank with a flexible internal gas bladder) and the Jetpack (backplate, harness, high-pressure battery-powered pump).
No more fighting an expanding air bubble. Just smooth, controlled movement that feels like flying through the water.
Benefits
Why Divers Are Switching to Avelo?
Up to 30–45 lbs Lighter — The Hydrotank and Jetpack combination is dramatically lighter than traditional tank + weights + BCD setups. Easier carries to the boat or beach.
Light WeightStable, Depth-Independent Buoyancy — Water doesn't expand or contract with pressure changes, giving you a wide "sweet spot" where you can move freely without adjustments.
Stable BuoyancyNo gas wasted on buoyancy control means more bottom time and relaxed breathing.
