The 2026 range

From the lightest to the fastest: our six underwater scooters

Three series, two models in each: the higher version adds a speed, sensors, or a second battery.

Mix

For families and for starting out

The lightest of the range, two or three speeds, and a battery that flies in the cabin. These are the ones you lend without thinking — swimming pools included.

3.4 – 3.6 kgup to 6.5 km/h40 m

Navbow

For exploring — with the family or on scuba

Three modes, an OLED screen and an hour at cruising speed. Gentle enough to take the children out, quick enough to hold a current and go down to 40 metres.

Which underwater scooter is right for you?

Six situations, six answers. If yours is not here, write to us — it is faster than any table.

I am starting out, and there are children

The WhiteShark Mix. Only two speeds, 3.4 kg, it fits in one hand and in a beach bag. This is the one you hand to a beginner.

WhiteShark Mix

I snorkel all day

The Mix Pro. Two batteries in the bag: swap in seconds and go again for just as long, without waiting two hours for a charge.

Mix Pro

One machine for everyone in the house

The Navbow. On its slowest mode it tows a child or a swimmer gently; on Turbo it holds a current and goes down to 40 metres. This is the one that gets passed around.

Navbow

I scuba dive and I want my data

The Navbow+. Depth, heading and temperature in front of you, an adjustable alarm to remind you to come up, and the SublueGo app. One hour at cruising speed.

Navbow+

I want speed

The Vapor Pro. Four speeds up to 12 km/h, jet drive, two batteries: 120 minutes at the lowest setting and 28 flat out.

Vapor Pro

I fly with it

The Mix, Mix Pro, Navbow and Navbow+. Their batteries (122 and 158 Wh) travel in the cabin with the airline's approval; the Vapor batteries, at 384.8 Wh, cannot travel as baggage at all.

What is an underwater scooter?

Also called a sea scooter, a water scooter or a diver propulsion vehicle. Here is what it is, and what it changes in the water.

What it is

An underwater scooter is a small electric unit held in both hands that pulls you through the water. You do not steer it with handlebars: you point it with your body, and it goes where you look. A Sublue sea scooter weighs between 3.4 and 8.6 kg and travels in a bag.

How it works

A removable lithium battery drives one or two motors. On the Mix and the Navbow, two ducted propellers: the grille keeps fingers and hair away from the blades. On the Vapor, a turbine draws water in at the front and pushes it out at the back — no blade you can reach.

What it changes

At 4.3 km/h an underwater scooter saves your legs and your air: on scuba, you breathe less and stay down longer. At 12 km/h you cover in ten minutes what used to take half an hour on fins. Every Sublue model is rated to 40 metres.

On the water

What people actually do with them

Four uses that come up in almost every conversation we have with owners.

Scuba diving

With an underwater scooter you descend without finning, you save air, and you cover a whole drop-off instead of one patch of reef.

Snorkelling

The scooter does the swimming, you keep your eyes on the bottom. By far the most common use.

With the family

Two speeds, a float, a grille in front of the propellers: the Mix is built to be passed around. Pools included.

Why Sublue

What owners mention first

Sublue invented the first portable twin-propeller underwater scooter: more than 150,000 units sold in over 80 countries. This is what comes up first.

Light and portable

From 3.4 to 8.6 kg depending on the model, carry bag included. A sea scooter that stays in the garage is no use.

Fast when you need it

From 4.3 km/h to drift over a reef to 12 km/h on the Vapor Pro. Every model has several speeds, not just one.

Rated to 40 metres

The whole range is rated to 40 metres — the recreational diving limit, not a limit of the machine.

Camera ready

An action-cam mount on every model. With the H1 case your phone films too, down to 10 metres.

The SublueGo app

On the Navbow, Navbow+, Vapor and Vapor Pro: battery status, settings, updates and service reminders.

Removable batteries

They swap in seconds. Two batteries are included with the Mix Pro and the Vapor Pro.

The accessory

Filming with your phone: the H1 case

This is not a scooter, it is what clips onto one. The Sublue waterproof case turns a smartphone into an underwater camera and fits the mount supplied with the Mix, Mix Pro, Navbow and Navbow+.

Frequently asked

What people ask us most

Short, checkable answers. The detail model by model is on each product page.

What is an underwater scooter?

It is an electric propulsion unit held in both hands that tows a swimmer or a diver through the water. It is also called a sea scooter or a water scooter. A Sublue model weighs 3.4 to 8.6 kg, runs from 4.3 to 12 km/h depending on the version, and is rated to 40 metres.

How deep can it go?

40 metres for all six Sublue underwater scooters, from the WhiteShark Mix to the Vapor Pro. That is the recreational diving limit. The H1 waterproof case is rated to 10 metres.

How long does a Sublue underwater scooter last on a charge?

The runtime of an underwater scooter depends on the speed, not on the model alone. At the lowest speed: 40 min for the Mix, 60 min for the Navbow and the Vapor, 80 min for the Mix Pro and 120 min for the Vapor Pro, which carry two batteries. Flat out, expect 20 to 30 minutes.

How fast is a Sublue sea scooter?

From 5.4 km/h on the WhiteShark Mix to 12 km/h on the Vapor Pro. In between: 6.5 km/h on the Mix Pro, 7.2 km/h on the Navbow and 10 km/h on the Vapor. On the Navbow, Turbo holds for 8 minutes, then the scooter drops back to Sport on its own for 15 minutes more.

Which model should a beginner choose?

The WhiteShark Mix. Two speeds only, 3.4 kg, and a grille over the propellers; it is the one you lend without thinking. If you swim all day, the Mix Pro adds a speed and a second battery.

Can a child use one?

Yes, supervised by an adult and with a buoyancy aid or float. The WhiteShark Mix suits them best: light, two speeds, ducted propellers. It works in a swimming pool too.

Can I take one on a plane?

Yes for the Mix, Mix Pro, Navbow and Navbow+: their batteries (122 and 158 Wh) travel in the cabin, never in the hold, with the airline's prior approval. No for the Vapor and Vapor Pro: at 384.8 Wh their batteries are over the 160 Wh ceiling and cannot travel as baggage.

Can I use it in a pool or in fresh water?

Yes — sea, lake and swimming pool. After every outing in salt water or a pool, rinse with fresh water and dry in the shade: salt and chlorine attack the seals.

Do I need a licence or training?

No licence. Being able to swim is enough for snorkelling. On scuba, the usual rule applies: never go deeper or faster than your certification allows.

Where can I buy a Sublue underwater scooter, and who repairs it?

A Sublue underwater scooter is sold on the Sublue France online shop or by one of our approved dealers. After-sales service is in France, in Puget-sur-Argens: parts, batteries and repairs all go through repair.sublue.fr.

Sublue France

The Sublue underwater scooter, in a few words

Sublue invented the first portable twin-propeller underwater scooter and has sold more than 150,000 of them in over 80 countries. In France, Sublue France, under licence from Poseidon Yachting, imports the range, sells it and repairs it. Some people say sea scooter, others water scooter or diver propulsion vehicle: it is the same machine, and you are in the right place.

The range splits in two. On one side the propeller models: the WhiteShark Mix, the entry-level underwater scooter at 3.4 kg, the Mix Pro and its two batteries, then the Navbow and Navbow+, faster, with a screen and sensors. On the other the jet models: the Vapor and the Vapor Pro, no visible propeller, up to 12 km/h. Add to that the H1 waterproof case, which turns a phone into an underwater camera.

On scuba, an underwater scooter changes your air consumption above all: less finning, slower breathing, longer dives. Snorkelling, it changes the distance: a whole reef instead of a corner of it. With the family, it changes the appetite: children who did not like swimming ask to go back in. That is why we rarely push the most expensive model — the right sea scooter is the one you will actually take with you.

On scuba, the underwater scooter sits in front of you and clips off in a second: your hands stay free for the camera and the BCD. Freediving and snorkelling, you hold it in one hand and glide down. In a pool, use the lowest speed and keep an adult on the side: you cross the length in seconds.

Sea, lake or pool, an underwater scooter gets rinsed in fresh water after every outing and dries in the shade — that is the only maintenance rule that really counts. Batteries are stored half charged, never flat, and wake up in spring without complaint. If you are diving abroad, check the cabin-baggage line in the table above before you book.

Everything we sell can be repaired in France, in Puget-sur-Argens: batteries, seals, propellers, control boards. Requests go through repair.sublue.fr. And if you are still torn between two models, the notebook compares, tests, and owns up to the mistakes we made before you.
