Choose your underwater adventure companion
Diving enthusiasts looking for a high-performance, top-of-the-range underwater scooter often turn to technology and power. At first glance, the Navbow underwater scooters and the Navbow+ from Sublue look identical. But we’re going to show you that the Navbow+ is designed to meet the demands of the most demanding divers. With its additional features, it is also suitable for water sports enthusiasts. This underwater scooter is accessible to everyone in both salt and fresh water. We’ll look at why it’s the best underwater scooter for sea trips.
The best power-to-weight ratio for an underwater scooter
The two Navbow and Navbow + underwater scooters are small in size, weighing just 5 kg, and offer battery autonomy with 3 speeds, providing 60 minutes of use in first gear. Second gear lasts 30 minutes and third gear 8 minutes plus 15 minutes in second gear. These autonomies are achieved with constant use of the underwater thruster. They can dive to depths of up to 40 metres, reaching speeds of 3.6 km/h, 6 km/h and 7.2 km/h. The 158 Wh battery power is standard for both, providing sufficient energy for most dives with your underwater scooter and allowing it to be transported by plane.
The best value underwater scooters
The first notable difference is the price, with the Navbow+ priced at €1,649 inc VAT, a step up from the €1,399 inc VAT of the Navbow. This price increase is justified by the enhanced features that the Navbow+ offers. For example, although both models of underwater scooter can have a fast charger. This is optional for the Navbow and standard for the Navbow+. This reduces the charging time from 3h30 to just 2 hours, a precious time-saver for active divers.
Accessories and options also play a part in differentiating the two Sublue scooters. Both models come with a carrying case, safety leash and ballast weights. The Navbow+ includes the fast charger in the price, while for the Navbow you have to buy it separately for an extra $120.
