BWMG Highlights 2025 Operational Milestones, Confirms Audit On Schedule, and Outlines 2026 Priorities to Support Revenue Growth
Davie / Fort Lauderdale, Florida — February 24, 2026 — Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc. (“BWMG” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide shareholders with a 2025 operational progress update and shared 2026 priorities aimed at expanding revenue opportunities, improving execution, and enhancing long-term shareholder value.
Audit Progress and Reporting Timeline
BWMG confirms it is currently in the audit and reporting phase for fiscal year 2025 and that audit progress remains on schedule. In accordance with audit process requirements and regulatory best practices, the Company will not discuss financial results or performance metrics until publication of its audited Form 10-K. BWMG expects its Form 10-K to be filed by the end of March 2026.
2025 Highlights: Platform Strengthening, Product Advancements, and Market Engagement
During 2025, BWMG advanced multiple initiatives across facilities, product development, and market outreach to support scalable growth and customer adoption:
Facility Expansion to Support Growth
• The Company relocated to a larger, freestanding, climate-controlled facility in Davie, Florida, west of Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport, designed to better accommodate expanding product lines. Management believes the improved environment has enhanced workplace satisfaction and operational efficiency, while also attracting multiple potential service, assembly, and distribution partners currently under consideration.
Sea Lion Battery Platform Expansion and New “Sport” Offering
• Brownie’s introduced the new battery-powered Sea Lion “Sport”, designed to bring battery-powered tankless diving closer to legacy gasoline-powered system price points.
• The Sea Lion platform now includes a waterproof 70Ah battery (up from 64Ah), designed to provide over three hours of runtime for up to three divers in typical recreational depth ranges up to 33 feet (application dependent).
• The Sea Lion Sport introduces an all-new waterproof 50Ah battery, designed to support up to two hours of runtime for 2–3 divers (application dependent).
• Both systems incorporate “Insta-Change” battery technology, enabling tool-free battery swaps in under a minute.
Investment in Waterproof Battery Standardization
• BWMG invested substantial time and capital to advance its Sea Lion battery systems to a waterproof standard and to improve commercial readiness. Management believes these investments in design, tooling, and inventory are intended to strengthen long-term product value and customer experience and are expected to support improved lifecycle economics over time.
LW Americas / YachtPro: Battery-Powered High-Pressure SCUBA Filling Innovation
• BWMG’s high-pressure breathing air subsidiary, LW Americas / YachtPro, unveiled a new 48V DC battery-powered, continuous-duty, automated high-pressure SCUBA tank filling system aimed at emerging demand from modern boatbuilders and off-grid customers. The Company expects the system to support multi-tank filling cycles using battery power, with performance dependent on configuration and operating conditions.
Trade Show Momentum Across Core Brands
• BLU3 and SeaNXT Americas maintained an active trade show tempo throughout 2025 to expand market visibility, support dealers, and engage new customer segments.
BLU3 Nomad: Expanded Battery Option and Strong Demand Signals
• In Q4 2025, BLU3 introduced a new extended runtime battery option for Nomad users. The first production run was fully allocated prior to arrival, reflecting strong customer interest and the team’s emphasis on targeted product enhancements and disciplined inventory planning.
Professional Pool Industry Outreach Initiative
• BLU3 initiated a professional pool industry outreach program, engaging Byrd Moreton & Associates mid-year 2025 and developing a trade show plan focused on pool and spa leak detection and maintenance professionals.
2026 Priorities: Broader Market Reach, Higher-Impact Trade Shows, and Shareholder Engagement
In 2026, BWMG intends to build on its 2025 progress by prioritizing initiatives designed to expand revenue opportunities:
• Channel and Partner Expansion: evaluating and onboarding service, assembly, and distribution partners aligned with BWMG’s product portfolio and customer needs.
• Execution and Fulfillment Focus: continuing operational improvements that support reliability, responsiveness, and scalable delivery.
• Trade Show Optimization and Product Bundling Strategy: refining and expanding booth offerings to maximize consumer interest and improve revenue-per-event opportunity by showcasing a broader set of premium, battery-powered watersports and marine technology products.
• Best-in-Class Partnerships: continuing to identify and partner with novel products that can benefit from BWMG’s engineering, manufacturing, distribution, hands-on sales, and customer service capabilities.
As part of this strategy, BWMG recently teamed with Awake Boards to introduce its dealer and customer base to premium electric watersports offerings, including an electric wakeboard and eFoil featuring “click-to-ride” battery technology. BWMG believes that showcasing these products alongside Sea Lion, BLU3 Nomad and Nomad Mini, SeaNXT, and the YachtPro 48V DC system creates a compelling booth experience across a broad range of 2026 events.
Strengthening Investor Outreach and Shareholder Communications
To support broader investor awareness and strengthen communications with the market, BWMG has engaged Andrew Barwicki to assist with new investor recruiting and shareholder communications. The Company notes that compensation under this engagement is not stock-based.
Shareholder Engagement and Float Dynamics
BWMG’s shareholder base includes significant long-term holders, and the Company believes this contributes to a relatively closely held public float. While share ownership and trading activity can vary over time, BWMG intends to increase the consistency and clarity of shareholder-facing communications through compliant public disclosures and regular corporate updates.

Brownies Marine Group Company Wide Update
Davie, FL, June 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc. (OTCQB: BWMG), a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of tankless dive equipment, best-in-class water scooters, and high-pressure air and industrial compressors in the marine industry, today announced results for the fiscal fourth quarter and twelve months ending December 31, 2024. Robert Carmichael, CEO of Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc. stated, “Although we are disappointed in the operating results, we are pleased with the product development and re-alignment of resources.
“Ongoing market challenges, a cautious retail and trade channel environment resulted in lower total sales and profitability than desired. We remain focused on our key strategic priorities and the changes necessary for near-term growth—investing in consumer-driven innovation, enhancing our go-to-market with novel solutions ethos, and improving operational efficiencies at the fundamental level,” said Robert Carmichael, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Fundamental Changes:
Headquarters Facility: The Company relocated it south Florida headquarters from Pompano Beach to Davie, Florida just west of the Fort Lauderdale International Air and Sea Port. The 19,000+ Sq. Ft. facility is a free standing, corporate office and manufacturing facility. This climate-controlled facility supports efficient manufacturing, innovation, and future growth. The new layout includes abundant technical areas, vertical storage, and a welcoming product showcase entrance highlighting the BMG portfolio.
Audit Firm, Trading and Reporting:
To modernize financial reporting and increase transparency, Brownie’s engaged Bush & Associates CPA (Henderson, NV) as its independent audit firm. The firm brings a technology-forward, quality-driven approach to audit and assurance services. Additionally, BMG has applied for its OTC Markets listing to be transitioned to the upcoming OTCID platform, expected to go live in July 2025.
OTC Markets Group is introducing OTCID as a new tier that replaces Pink Current, offering clearer distinctions between companies that meet basic disclosure standards and those that do not. The transition marks a pivotal shift toward investor transparency and accountability.
By joining the OTCID Market, we proudly support OTC Markets Group’s mission to distinguish responsible companies that take ownership of their U.S. traded securities and meet elevated disclosure standards.
OTCID will make it easier for investors, brokers, regulators, and issuers to identify companies that demonstrate compliance and accountability. The enhanced transparency and disclosure requirements of OTCID may drive positive shifts in investor confidence and behavior, benefiting shareholders in BWMG and the broader OTC market alike.
Product News:
BLU3: BLU3 continues to redefine recreational diving with its patented, battery-powered dive systems designed for accessibility, portability, and innovation. In 2024, the Company implemented key changes to improve product positioning, operational efficiency, and brand performance:
Completed the phase-out of the Nemo model in favor of the more advanced Nomad Mini, streamlining the product line and improving overall manufacturing efficiency.
Expanded into the pool and spa service industry through targeted marketing campaigns that highlight BLU3’s unique utility for light underwater work and inspection.
Reduced overhead expenses by strategically eliminating non-essential salaried roles in sales and marketing, aligning resources with core priorities.
Implemented price adjustments across core products to support margin growth and maintain long-term profitability.
Maintained a diverse marketing strategy through continued investment in boat shows, influencer collaborations, and a combination of paid and organic social media efforts.
BLU3 remains a central growth driver for BMG and continues to explore new markets and applications for its ultra-portable dive technology.
SeaNXT Elite: BLU3 completed its first full year as the exclusive distributor and service center for the SeaNXT Elite water scooter across North and South America and the non-French Caribbean. In 2024, the primary focus was on expanding the dealer and service network throughout these regions to establish a strong foundation for long-term growth.
While several promising partnerships were explored, some efforts were paused due to market constraints, including restrictive dealer agreements imposed by competing brands that prohibit retailers from carrying alternative products. Despite this, SeaNXT continues to gain traction as a high-performance, service-friendly alternative in the luxury water toy category.
Building brand trust remains a top priority, and BLU3 is uniquely positioned to lead this effort thanks to its experienced team, modern facilities, and the modular design of the SeaNXT Elite, which simplifies maintenance and supports long-term ownership value.
Brownie’s THIRD LUNG / Sea Lion: Since 1969 the “THIRD LUNG” has been thought of as a simple gasoline powered air compressor on a float tube. The simplicity and long run time has satisfied an enduring audience of local Florida lobster hunters, salvors and shallow sport divers rugged enough to tolerate the dinosaur powered solution for over 5-decades.
The next generation THIRD LUNG (Sea Lion) leverages our multi-patented battery-powered technology to deliver a diver sensitive-variable speed solution that is more appealing to a broader audience of resort divers and families with boats. The Sea Lion boost an 18-pound battery that provides up to 3-hours of dive time for 3-divers to depths up to 33-ft. The sluggish cadence of 2024 allowed Brownie’s team to develop and heavily invest in multiple improvements that are now delivering better value to the consumer and significant margin enhancements for the company.
SPARE AIR (Submersible Systems, Inc.): Submersible Systems, Inc. enjoyed one of the best years in the companies over 40-year history. SPARE AIR is a natural complement to the entire line of Brownie’s and BLU3 innovations. As we recruit broader audiences to participate in tankless diving, the addition of a completely redundant air source for our products and other diving systems becomes self-evident. Distribution channels and new market opportunities are exposing more synergies across the brands as we cross-pollinate sales and customer service efforts.
LIVE BLUE: Live Blue was launched in 2022 as a pilot program for guided tours, and entry-level dive coaching utilizing the innovative line of products from BLU3. Initially launched in conjunction with our acquisition of Gold Coast Scuba, LLC, a dive shop and scuba diving training center operating in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida. In late 2024, the company sold the inventory and SCUBA asset package known as Gold Coast Scuba to Adventure Seeker Company. Adventure Seeker Company Dba Gold Coast Scuba continues to operate as a dealer and strategic partner of BMG products and services for the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea area. Live Blue, Inc remains a wholly owned subsidiary of BMG.
Robert M. Carmichael, President and Chairman of the Board added, “One of our core missions is to support entry-level water exploration and promote long-term ocean stewardship. Through education and access, we aim not only to grow our customer base—but to foster the next generation of responsible marine enthusiasts.”
