Frequently Asked Questions About Nomad Diving
- DOES NOMAD FLOAT?
- Yes! However, for diving offshore, the included Dry Bag Float is strongly recommended for additional buoyancy and visibility.
- WHAT IF NOMAD FLIPS OR GOES UNDERWATER?
- As long as the very top of the intake snorkel remains above the water, you will continue to receive fresh air flow from Nomad. The rest of the unit can be submerged. If water does get inside the pump, no damage will be caused. Simply rinse it through with fresh water.
- IS NOMAD AIRPLANE FRIENDLY?
- Absolutely! The lithium battery used is under the limit and accepted by most airlines in carry-on luggage so that you can travel around the world with Nomad. The Nomad inside its backpack will fit as carry-on luggage, or you can check the unit while bringing the battery as carry-on. Be prepared by bringing your Air Travel Certificate
- DOES THE NOMAD BATTERY LAST LONGER IN SHALLOW WATER?
- Yes! If you're using Nomad in shallow waters, you can expect longer run times. And you will be able to coil up the excess hose length neatly so that Nomad stays close by. Note that for diving shallower than 10 feet, you can expect similar or longer run times with Nemo.
- WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN NOMAD DIVING?
- WARNING: Nomad uses strong magnets. Magnets may interfere with pacemakers or medical implants. It is advised that persons with pacemakers or medical implants do not use Nomad. Persons with pacemakers or medical implants must stay back at least 2 feet from the Nomad main body at all times.
