Variable Speed Diving System Brownie’s goes GREEN Since 1969, Brownie’s has forged the path of the recreational surface supplied diving industry. For more than a decade now; attempts to convert from a gasoline power source to battery alternatives have fallen short of the customers’ expectation.

Why Brownie’s Variable Speed Diving System? “KEYED TO DIVER DEMAND” Other Electric Systems For decades Brownie’s tested every viable compressor option available in an attempt to provide a floating battery powered alternative that would meet the Hookah market performance, logistics and ergonomic demands. Literally dozens of compressor/motor/battery combinations where tested. The result was generally the same; either tremendous inefficiency leading to enormous battery packs or disappointing performance. The VS invention overcomes these historical obstacles. The compressor speed instantly responds...

Hassle-free Quick Change Batteries! No Tools Required! In the early phase of development of Brownie’s VS, consideration to accommodate a wide range of battery brands also spurred the analysis of a “batteries not included” business model. While simpler and potentially advantageous in the beginning, the analysis clearly demonstrated the value of maintaining control of product quality by providing the batteries. Our research led us directly to the premier military spec battery company; Odyssey “The Extreme Battery”. Odyssey batteries provide predictable values, reliable quality and a broad range...
