Traditional scuba equipment requires divers to carry a tank of oxygen on their back that can be somewhat restrictive. The new 'AirBuddy' -- which is currently available for preorder on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underwater-thruster) -- does away with this by allow divers to utilize a tankless system that floats on the water's surface. When used, the 'AirBuddy' tankless dive system will allow users to have up to 45-minutes of air, while the system will let them go down about 12-meters (40-feet). This offers revolutionary capabilities and can also do away with the need to constantly worry about oxygen tanks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Tankless Scuba Equipment:** Opportunity for innovation in creating and improving tankless scuba equipment. - **Dive Technology Advancements:** Advancement in dive technology for improved safety and convenience in diving. - **Eco-friendly Water Sports Gear:** Opportunity for eco-friendly scuba gear that reduces waste and damage to aquatic ecosystems. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Water Sports:** Expanded growth potential in the water sports industry with innovative and hassle-free gear. - **Tours and Activities:** Innovative scuba diving technology can provide unique offerings for the tours and activities industry. - **Environment Conservation:** Eco-friendly scuba gear can significantly contribute to the environment conservation industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Backpack-Style Scuba Tanks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smaco-s700max.md) - [Air-Integrated Dive Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airintegrated-dive-computer.md) - [Intuitive Underwater Scuba Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surando-underwater-scooter.md) - [Waist-Worn Underwater Thrusters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underwater-thruster.md) - [Arm-Attached Underwater Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underwater-scooters.md) - [Hydrodynamic Weighted Diver Vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrospine-freediving-weight.md) - [Lightweight Underwater Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subnado.md) - [Compact Underwater Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asiwo-u1.md) - [Submarine-Inspired Diving Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/periscope-mask.md)
