RICHMOND, BC & MAUI, HI
Shearwater Research, a global leader in dive computers and diving electronics, is thrilled to announce a strategic R&D partnership with Avelo Labs, an innovative training organization and dive technology company renowned for its revolutionary approach to buoyancy control and advanced dive analytics. This collaboration aims to drive the advancement of diving systems and human performance, uniting Shearwater’s technical expertise with Avelo’s groundbreaking innovation.
The Avelo System creates a stable buoyancy that doesn’t fluctuate with depth and allows divers an unparalleled level of control using natural breathing techniques. This wide zone of neutral buoyancy provides a “flying” sensation underwater. This paradigm-shifting scuba diving experience is enabled by the “Jetpack” a highly compact, battery-powered system with a fluid control module (FCM) and an innovative “Hydrotank” that fundamentally changes buoyancy dynamics.
Shearwater is introducing Avelo Mode on the Peregrine TX, in addition to the Teric made available earlier this year. Avelo Mode will soon be available on even more Shearwater air-integrated dive computers later in December. This will ensure a seamless integration with the Avelo System and deliver precise gas-time management, which is critical to safety and the overall dive experience. Through this partnership, the companies plan to expand upon this collaboration and explore further advancements that blend Avelo’s technology with Shearwater’s precision dive electronics.
Jason Leggatt, CEO of Shearwater Research, spoke to the broader vision of the collaboration: “For years, Shearwater has been dedicated to advancing engineered dive technology, particularly for technical and rebreather divers who push the limits of human potential underwater."
"Our partnership with Avelo Labs marks an important milestone in leveraging two decades of expertise to explore new frontiers in underwater electronics for a broader diving community. The Avelo System is an excellent match with Shearwater’s legacy of powerful, simple, and reliable technology. I believe this collaboration will result in new solutions that will encourage greater participation in diving, cultivating a lifelong connection to exploring and engaging with the underwater world with passion.”
Avelo Labs CEO, Aviad Cahana, shared his enthusiasm about the partnership: “Shearwater’s proven excellence and technical leadership in the dive industry brings new opportunities to extend our vision for advanced scuba systems. Working with Shearwater already is allowing Avelo divers worldwide to become more efficient and enjoy longer dive times. Together, we’re building the future of diving, one that redefines what divers can expect in terms of user experience and performance.”
The Shearwater-Avelo collaboration represents a shared vision and commitment to pushing technical and experiential advancements. Both companies will continue to work closely to develop diving technology with plans to unveil further product innovations.
Stay tuned for further updates as these two industry leaders work together to shape the future of diving.
