Two diving experiences built for you
We created the Avelo Experience to provide a way for certified divers to enjoy the benefits of diving the Avelo System. Our team of seasoned professional dive leaders built these curated trips to also offer a world-class diving experience.
These are the first opportunities for anyone who wants to try the Avelo System to be able to dive right in. We’ll welcome you to Maui on your arrival day and orient you to the week’s adventures. The first day of diving begins with your Avelo specialty course, the Recreational Avelo Diver (RAD). You’ll earn your certification and then enjoy diving the system for the next four days of diving.
Instructors who wish to teach diving Avelo will need to first become certified Avelo divers and will need a minimum of 10 Avelo dives to qualify for the Avelo Pro course. This trip gives dive professionals an opportunity to gain experience towards becoming the first Avelo Instructors in the world.

The Avelo Experience
Our trip packages showcase diving the Avelo System on a world-class experience.
On the first day of your trip, you will get to become one of the first divers in the world to experience diving with the Avelo System and to complete your certification program.
On day two, we will take you on two dives in the morning, and then continue to Maui Ocean Center for lunch. After lunch, your small group will enjoy a private tour of the aquarium guided by one of our knowledgeable instructors. We will answer questions about what you've seen underwater and discuss the unique Hawaiian marine environment. This tour will make the rest of the dives with us that much more memorable.
The next three days will be filled with great diving using the Avelo System in Maui's best dive sites. On the evening of the last day of diving, we will go on a sunset cruise to enjoy Maui’s natural beauty.
The Avelo System was invented and developed in Maui, where our community has a deep cultural connection to the ocean. For your last day of the Avelo Experience, we will welcome you into our ocean community with a memorable cultural experience.

Why dive Avelo
The Avelo System is the first product to redefine the scuba experience since the development of the standard scuba system and especially since BCDs were introduced.
With Avelo, divers use an internal buoyancy control system to provide the weight they need to become neutrally buoyant in the water. This allows the system to not only weigh nearly half the weight of standard scuba but also to provide neutral buoyancy that does not require adjusting for depth once it is set at the surface. The only buoyancy adjustments made by the diver are when they breathe the gas in the tank and become a little lighter.
This experience provides a sensation like freediving with an air supply, which in turn provides better air consumption and the feeling of freedom underwater.
