Jet propulsion
No exposed blade, no grille to watch: water is drawn in and pushed back out by a shrouded impeller. 210 N, available instantly.
No propeller: a jet. 210 newtons of thrust, three speeds up to 10 km/h, and a display that gives depth, heading and temperature without looking up.
Jet propulsion replaces the blades with a channelled flow of water.
An hour at 6 km/h, twenty minutes at 10: speed is expensive on a jet. On a real outing you alternate — explore at 6, sprint back to the boat. That is how the afternoon lasts, not by staying flat out.
Sublue France — workshop and after-sales, Puget-sur-ArgensNo propeller, no exposed blade. What happens between the front and the back of the scooter, in three steps.
No exposed blade, no grille to watch: water is drawn in and pushed back out by a shrouded impeller. 210 N, available instantly.
Charge, speed, depth, heading and water temperature: five readings, legible in full sun as in the blue.
Wireless updates, settings, dive review. The machine keeps improving after you buy it.
One command flushes salt and debris from the impeller. It is the maintenance most often skipped — here it takes a single gesture.
Let go and the Vapor rises instead of sinking. With the safety lanyard, the machine does not get lost.
It warns before the set limit is passed, or if you ascend too fast.
The same grip from the shore to the drop-off.
210 N behind a shrouded impeller: neither fingers nor hair can reach anything.
8 kg, positive buoyancy, automatic cleaning: one person handles it from a swim platform.
10 km/h flat out and an hour of run time: the wall across the bay stops being an expedition.
Aventurine Red or Dravit Grey.
Six scooters, one family. Thirteen lines separate them.

* Allowed in the cabin, never in the hold. Do check with your airline before you fly, just in case. The Vapor batteries (384.8 Wh) are the exception: they cannot travel as baggage.
No blade is exposed: water is drawn in and pushed back out by a shrouded impeller. Thrust is available instantly, and nothing can be caught in the blades.
One hour at 6 km/h, thirty minutes at 8 km/h, twenty minutes at full speed — running continuously on a full battery (Sublue France 2026 price list).
Three hours for a full battery.
No. It is 384.8 Wh, above the 160 Wh ceiling: it travels neither in the cabin nor in the hold. The scooter itself, battery removed, is no problem at all. If you fly often, look at the Navbow or the WhiteShark Mix instead.
It spins the impeller to flush out salt and debris after the dive. It does not replace a fresh-water rinse, but it keeps clean the part you cannot reach by hand.
The Vapor Pro reaches 12 km/h, delivers 249 N and adds a fourth speed, and it comes with two batteries — up to two hours in the water. See the Vapor Pro.
A scooter rinsed after every outing does not age. That is very nearly all it asks.
Sublue asks that the scooter be immersed in clean water within thirty minutes of a sea outing, battery in place, and run for a few seconds at low speed to flush the salt out. No detergent, no soapy water.
Wipe the water off the body and the battery compartment, then let it air-dry somewhere cool. Never use a hairdryer: heat distorts the seals.
Out of season, scooter and battery are stored separately, in their packaging, out of the sun, between 0 and 45 °C and below 65 % humidity. Once a month, run it for ten seconds or so.
A dab of silicone grease on the battery contacts and on the compartment seal, at the end of the season. That is where salt settles and where corrosion starts.
It connects over Bluetooth, keeps a log of your outings and installs firmware updates. Above all, it is where you start the auto-clean cycle: the impeller runs on its own, in fresh water, and flushes salt and sand out of the duct — the maintenance the jet does for you.
The Sublue Vapor is a jet-propelled underwater scooter: no exposed propeller, a shrouded impeller delivering 210 newtons of thrust. It weighs 8 kg and goes down to 40 metres.
Three speeds: 60 minutes at 6 km/h, 30 minutes at 8 km/h, 20 minutes at its 10 km/h top speed. OLED display, Sublue app and automatic impeller cleaning.
The Vapor was drawn for diving off a boat: you lift it with one hand, you let go of it without losing it.
