R3: Blu3 Nemo Dive System Review For Underwater Metal Detecting and Treasure Hunting

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

At 3:12 when I am installing the battery, I show installing the snorkel after installing the battery. Please install the snorkel first before the battery. I do this when I set up the machine. It is the correct way to do this as to not draw a vacuum on the pump. I think diving 20+ hours a week for the past couple weeks on this thing caused me to invert the process haha. Anyway. Cheers to all and hope you have a good one!

[@ScubaGuy]

Wooooohoooooo my Nemo unit just arrived from USA . I’m soo excited like a cat on a hot tin roof . Can’t wait to try in the water

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

That's awesome man! The only thing I think I would suggest is zip tie where the hose attached to the harness on your back if it comes undone. Its rare mine does, but when it does its in hard current. Can't wait to see yours in action!

[@ScubaGuy]

@@AmphibiousDetecting thanks Patrick will do that for sure. I’m so happy your video on the review really helped convince me to go ahead and get it. Now I can get back to what I love detecting underwater . 🙏thanks a million stay safe

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

@@ScubaGuy thanks man! Have a great weekend!

[@mokpot]

You do a great job explaining it all! I was surprised at the cost of the units.

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Thank you for the kind words sir. I hope you have a great week!

[@michellebordage3614]

Best set up vid I've seen, just got one, thank you for doing this vid!!

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

You're very welcome I hope you have been having fun with it!

[@peterteal880]

Wow. I’m jealous! I’ve wanted one of those for gold panning for about 20 years. That’s so nice and compact!

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

It's crazy to me man. The thing weights 2lbs. For the price it would be find I think just for people to explore around!

[@spectrumbill6775]

A pretty slick little package Patrick, compact, quiet yet capable without the concern of CO poisoning. Looking forward to seeig you use it some more in upcoming videos. - SB

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Thanks SB! Was out there using it today. Much to my girlfriends disappointment no diamond rings though hahaha

[@layneyost7393]

Hey Patrick, I think I mentioned this before in a prior conversation, but I also have a Nemo. The BLU3 company has a product under development rated to 25' called the Nomad, but they told me it wouldn't be released until next summer as an estimate. I didn't want to wait. For anything deeper then about 10', I strap on the tank, but you're spot on, unless you're looking for a lost outboard or something similar people mostly lose things in less than 5-10 ft. THE BLU3 website says they're a "sister company" of Brownies. Not sure what that means, but with the advantages of the Nemo, I'm guessing there will be some significant sibling rivalry! I like the unit a lot, although the harness takes some getting used to. Well done on the video.

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Thank you for the kind words sir! I heard the same information I think you did about the nomad. Because I already have a deeper unit, that's what I would run, but I definitely can see the nomad being popular in the future. Someone told me that brownies owns a controlling interest in blu3. Maybe thats what they mean by sister companies haha! Tanks deeper though IMO is a smart move for a lot of reasons for sure. Have a great week! Enjoyed your post!

[@danpiraino]

Got mine (two) on Kickstarter & really like it!

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

That's awesome man! I wish this technology existed 20 years ago haha!

[@danpiraino]

@@AmphibiousDetecting I'm from the Syracuse area, maybe we can get together this spring and do some hunting in Oneida Lake ?

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

@@danpiraino that would be awesome man! Once that warm weather hits us back up I am GAME

[@BrianClunie]

It’s a game changer, I just subscribed!

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Thanks man! I will be dusting it off soon here now that the water is warm. Nomad is coming out this fall!

[@WishMeLuckMetalDetecting]

Very useful information! I did not know those devices existed! One thing that happened to me while snorkeling in the beach in Puerto Rico was dogs curious about my snorkel. Suddenly I had two different dogs swimming to where I was. Don't know if they thought that I was drowning. Very friendly though but as soon as I got out and stared at them, they went back to shoreline. Very interesting. Never occurred to me to film them! 🙄

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Haha you should have! That sounds like a funny experience! When do you think your next visit to Puerto Rico is?

[@WishMeLuckMetalDetecting]

@@AmphibiousDetecting Patrick, sadly, it's gonna be next year. The virus is spreading rapidly in the Island. I can't risk going now! How much is the Nemo device?

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Thats horrible to hear! I'm very sorry and send my best wishes to those down there. The unit price can change. If you contact Jerry there at vance metal detecting he can give you an accurate price.

[@nvmetaldetecting]

I was debating on getting one since I live in the desert. Definitely on my wish list

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

I've not been to NV. Are there a lot of swimming holes out there to go to?

[@nvmetaldetecting]

@@AmphibiousDetecting lake mead and lake mohave but they are illegal to metal detect in the national recreation area. Other than that nothing close

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

@@nvmetaldetecting that stinks. Would be fun to explore for sure. But rules like that can make it a real buzz kill.

[@diggersdentysonu.k.m.d8813]

I have never been under watter but I have got to try it out hope you had a top weekend

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Thanks! Especially when its 90+ outside haha. The weekend was good. Took a trip to my girlfriends parents house 4 hours away. I hope yours was great as well!

[@TheReal-HeeHaw]

The future is electric. Enjoyed 👍

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Thats what they tell me haha. Going to be weird having to teach kids how to pull motors in the future

[@NathanielOutdoorAdventures]

Gr3at video. I am thinking of getting one of these and not sure I can wait for the Nomad. The information was very useful

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

I can't wait to see what the specs are on the nomad myself! I think once we all have those it will be really interesting how the overall markets going to be impacted. For the money though this things awesome. I find myself using this unit 5x1 of the f285x. I just don't need to go deep to find cool stuff. Also many lakes that have old swimming holes are small and don't allow gasoline engines on them. So for that this was essential. Cheers man! Have some great adventures this week.

[@southernrelics]

Oh man! I have had my eyes on this for a couple months now! Maybe I can save up and buy it by next spring and get in some deeper lake water.

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

I'll tell ya. Hookah systems rock for what we are doing regardless of which one you get. The ability to dive all day, and not worry about filling tanks is huge! So long as you stay safe :-)

[@agubosqui]

Hi Patrick! I have ordered a Nemo to use it on the sea. Please can you explain how to rinse it after using it especially the regulator and to take out the salt water out of the hose . Thank you.

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Sorry for the long delayed response. I do not detect in salt water at all. There is a video on detector comparisons about cleaning gear after salt water detecting that is very good. That is the one I would try to look up for the best answer.

[@chuckwaggener9124]

Definitely get one of these . Thanks for the demo

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

My pleasure. I love it as a machine. I put a lot of hours on it this summer and don't have any complaints! Have a great rest of your day!

[@sarah-the-dog-lover]

Nice window ducky

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Thanks babe hahaha

[@NoraSvet]

I might need to try thisss😃

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

I think so too! It would definitely make it a lot easier detecting down there :-)

[@OutdoorMore1]

i use that device all the time i love it it is awesome

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

I don't disagree at all! There's days I'm using it close to 6 hours and not even plugging in the 4th battery! Love it!

[@rolandozols5103]

Very cool system! Wish I was a little younger or it cost a little less. A little pricey for this old guy to buy and see if I really would use it. If only I could be guaranteed to find enough gold jewelry to pay for it!! Probably have to just enjoy it vicariously watching you find sunken treasures!

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Hey man anytime you wanna try feel ree

[@rolandozols5103]

Thank you! That would be awesome! Unfortunately I just had my left hip replaced two and a half weeks ago so I’m not sure when I’ll be able to give it a try. Although I was going through such withdrawals that I did detect today for an hour. I have been looking through my house to see what I could sell to raise the $. How much are the extra batteries? Do you usually wear a wet or dry suit?

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

@@rolandozols5103 the batteries msrp is $200ea. But I know Jerry has package deals he puts together on the stuff. I do wear a wet suit because I'll spend 6 hours diving a day some days. Less important shallow but it does help keep ya warm. I bought mine at West marine.

[@rolandozols5103]

Thanks for the info!

[@DiggingCanuck]

That actually looks like a really cool system :)

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Sure is :-) it makes it must easier to go to new spots for sure!

[@samgarviso5288]

I know this a bit outdated but looking to buy a blue Nemo for beach hunting here in fl .how well can you really breath with it comfortably

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Sorry about the wildly delayed response. I can breath quite easily with it. When the battery gets low breathing becomes laborious which is a darn good sign you're past your dives limits and need to surface. A gas powered unit or tanks you just stop getting air, so as with anything. pre planning your dives is important so as to not exceed the limits of the batteries.

[@user-vq1do5uk4p]

thank you for your review. please tell me how much it costs???

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

The price is probably different now then when I bought it. At the time it was something like 900$ with 2 batteries. If you contact the company directly they might be able to find a dealer local to you. Best of luck!

[@user-vq1do5uk4p]

@@AmphibiousDetecting thank you friend!!!

[@terrydubay9113]

Is it more quieter under water lets say at 10 feet?

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Yea for sure. The further away from the compressor you are the quieter it is. Personally I dont notice the noise much, but im also wearing detecting headphones. So take with that what you will. Compared to the gas powered one I have its definitely quieter. Certainly nothing beats tanks for noise and freedom of mobility, but the challenges with tanks put them outside of what I want to have tied up for money right now. Down the road, if I can buy a compressor to fill my own tanks. Thats probably what I would switch to. But you're then talking 5 figures into gear at that point to be able to do that.

[@TazzzieAdventures]

I find the Nemo perfect for gold prospecting i also have lots of spare batteries for the day and 10ft depth works were i am. HH Brad

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

That's awesome! Best of luck finding some of that shiny stuff!

[@CriticalThinker1967]

Do you need much weight to stay down the bottom when you’re detecting with that Nemo?

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Not too much. It has a lot to do with your body fat, and boy oh boy was I fat this summer haha. I lost 50lbs since so I'm not sure what I would need now. But I want to say I was running 12lbs then. Great question!

[@ScubaGuy]

OMG I didn't know you bought the Nemo. I wanted for a long time to get hold of this. It would be perfect for me in Hong Kong. Once i get one I'll be reaching out to you for lots of tips on the use. Did you get a good price for buying x4 batteries? I've been hanging on for quite some time waiting to see all the reviews etc plus i ordered a new Scoop from the USA and it took almost a whole year to arrive. So i'm a little nervous to purchase if it takes a long time. Does you friend have a website i can see for the purchase of the Nemo? Also Ive been cleaning up but subscriptions so much easier keeping up with posts now.

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

He doesn't have a website unfortunately, and I'm not sure about shipping outside of the US. But they are made not far from you so I'd have to think there is a dealer somewhere out there. Having 4 batteries really isn't necessary. I get 2 hours out of each battery. But if for whatever reason I forget to charge one or my buddies batter dies then its handy to have one around. The thing is awesome. Hope you can find a dealer there. Cheers!

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Thank you for the kind words and checking it out. I hope you have a great week!

[@alexpulito75]

What about duration of battery pack?

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

They rate them for a minimum of an hour, but personally I am averaging 2 hours per charge while detecting. There was 1 instance I exhausted a battery in 88 minutes where I spent the entire time at 10 feet digging hard. There have been a number of times where I have gotten more then 2 hours while creek diving because I've had to stay shallow, but oof... that current had me working hard.

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Hello sir! I hope you have a great rest of your day!

[@bradwelch7425]

Certainly a great piece of gear, already in the process of getting one, here in Australia about $1400 big ones. Cashing in all of the lead and scrap and have already $600 towards one. Check out my channel, just started. I have Scuba, but the cost of refills for that in between depth to 10 feet gets costly. Great vid and showed how easy it is to use, big thumbs up. Happy Hunting Brad

[@AmphibiousDetecting]

Dang that's some good payout on lead! I've been giving the stuff away to a guy who makes bullets out of the stuff haha. Yea the refills are why I initially decided to go hookah. Even with buying a compressor it still isn't as cheap as hookah diving. Not for those of us who want to dive every day haha! Thanks for the good vibes! cheers.
