Explore This Amazing WorkAirBuddy Surface Supplied Dive Gear
From a distance, AirBuddy resembles a miniature inflatable boat - a marine motive that creates emotional connection with the main customer segment, the boaters. With the vision to create the smallest, lightest, and most powerful recreational SSBA unit, the design is functional and naturally respects the laws of physics. Hence why the air reservoir (float) is using toroidal shape, the second-best shape (after sphere) to distribute the hoop and longitudinal stress created by the air pressure in its walls. AirBuddy's design conveys ease of use, yet robustness and technological excellence.
