There’s a buzz rippling through the dive community—and it’s coming from Avelo’s latest innovation. The newly released Avelo Hydrotank is changing the way we think about buoyancy and streamlining dive gear in a big way.
Traditionally, scuba divers rely on a BCD (Buoyancy Control Device) to adjust buoyancy throughout a dive. But Avelo flips that script. Their Hydrotank system integrates buoyancy compensation directly into the tank itself—eliminating the need for a separate BCD entirely. That means fewer hoses, less bulk, and a more natural feel underwater.
Even better? The tank weighs less than conventional cylinders and holds more breathing gas. That’s a major win for comfort, efficiency, and dive time.
It’s still early days, but the possibilities are exciting. Could this be the future of recreational diving gear? Time (and testing) will tell—but innovation like this definitely makes waves.
