Sublue Underwater Scooter Review: VAPOR, Navbow & Mix Compared

Choosing a SUBLUE underwater scooter comes down to how fast you want to travel, what each battery can deliver, and how much equipment you want to carry. VAPOR Pro offers four speed settings and two included batteries; Navbow+ adds dive data and a digital compass; MixPro 2026 prioritizes a compact setup with accessories for travel. This guide compares six specific configurations and flags what to confirm before ordering.

Sublue Underwater Scooter Review: VAPOR, Navbow & Mix Compared

What Stands Out

VAPOR Pro's four listed settings reach up to 12 km/h (7.46 mph), with two batteries included in the selected standard package.

VAPOR retains the pump-jet platform with three speed settings and a single standard battery; optional extra-battery variants are different packages.

Navbow+ pairs three propulsion modes with an OLED display, digital compass and depth/temperature information for divers who want on-device feedback.

MixPro 2026 combines three speed settings with a detachable battery and listed travel accessories, including a 30 L backpack in the 2026 package.

What to Check

Speed and runtime figures are manufacturer listings measured under particular settings; maximum speed and maximum runtime should not be expected together.

One-battery, two-battery and extra-battery variants are not interchangeable. Confirm the actual U.S. kit contents and color before paying.

High-capacity lithium batteries face airline-specific transport rules; check watt-hours and obtain any required carrier approval before a flight.

Check buoyancy aids, safety leashes, water conditions and age/supervision guidance; a 40 m depth rating is not a substitute for diving training or safety checks.

Product Review

1. VAPOR Pro - Emerald Green

Product overview

The VAPOR Pro is the performance-led choice for someone planning powered runs from a boat or designated dive area. Its four manufacturer-listed speed modes span 6–12 km/h, while two batteries are listed in the standard package. That means more total available running time when batteries are swapped, not a continuous two-hour session; the published typical figure is 60 minutes per battery under stated conditions. The higher total equipment weight also matters when carrying the scooter to the water.

Key Specifications

  • Selected finish: Emerald Green; other listed color: Azure Silver
  • Listed speed modes: 6, 8, 10 and 12 km/h (3.73, 4.97, 6.21 and 7.46 mph)
  • Maximum depth rating: 40 m (131 ft)
  • Battery package: two batteries included, 384.8 Wh each
  • Typical listed runtime: 60 min per battery; 120 min across both batteries
  • Listed dimensions: 54 × 38 × 29 cm(21.3 × 15.0 × 11.4 in)
  • Listed unit weight with battery: 8.7 kg (19.2 lb)
  • Rapid charging time listed: approximately 1.5 h per battery
  • Buoyancy: slightly positive in seawater; action-camera mount and safety leash included

2. VAPOR - Aventurine Red

Product overview

VAPOR is aimed at buyers who want the pump-jet style and three distinct speed settings without automatically purchasing the Pro package. The selected Aventurine Red version lists 6, 8 and 10 km/h modes. Its standard box has one battery and a standard charger; an “+ Extra Battery” option is a separate variant. This is the important practical distinction if you are comparing total time away from a charger.

Key Specifications

  • Selected finish: Aventurine Red
  • Speed modes: 6, 8 and 10 km/h (3.7, 5.0 and 6.2 mph)
  • Maximum depth rating: 40 m (131 ft)
  • Battery: 13,000 mAh, 384.8 Wh; one standard battery
  • Listed durations: 45 min at first gear, 30 min at second and 18 min at third; typical 60 min claim
  • Standard charge duration: approximately 3 h
  • Dimensions: 54 × 38 × 29 cm(21.3 × 15.0 × 11.4 in)
  • Listed device weight: 8.6 kg (19.0 lb)
  • Included: standard charger, action-camera mount and safety leash
VAPOR - Aventurine Red

3. Navbow+ - Flame Orange

Product overview

Navbow+ makes sense when you want more information during a dive, not simply forward propulsion. Its OLED screen provides depth, temperature, orientation and power information, while the digital compass and selectable one-hand operation add controls not described in the same way for base Navbow. The 2 m/s Turbo rating is brief in the merchant's battery-life schedule, so check whether your likely cruising mode fits your planned session.

Key Specifications

  • Selected finish: Flame Orange
  • Listed speeds: Free 1 m/s, Sport 1.5 m/s, Turbo 2 m/s (2.24, 3.36 and 4.47 mph)
  • Rated depth: 40 m (131 ft)
  • Battery: 158 Wh; one standard battery
  • Merchant runtime ratings: Free 45 min, Sport 20 min, Turbo 8 min; up to 60 min under normal-use conditions
  • OLED readouts: depth, temperature, power, gear and compass/navigation status
  • Digital compass and optional one-hand operation
  • Listed unit weight without battery: 3.4 kg (7.5 lb)
  • Camera accessory support via optional photography platform
Navbow+ - Flame Orange

4. Navbow - Flame Red

Product overview

The standard Navbow suits users who want speed selection, an OLED battery/status display and mounting options for underwater photography, without choosing Navbow+ for compass and more extensive on-screen dive information. It has the same listed maximum propulsion speed as Navbow+ and the same three Free/Sport/Turbo operating concepts, but those similarities do not make its display or optional accessories identical.

Key Specifications

  • Selected finish: Flame Red
  • Speeds: Free 1 m/s, Sport 1.5 m/s, Turbo 2 m/s (2.24, 3.36 and 4.47 mph)
  • Rated depth: 40 m (131 ft)
  • Battery: 158 Wh; one standard battery
  • Merchant runtime figures: 45 min Free, 20 min Sport and 8 min Turbo; up to 60 min normal-use claim
  • OLED indicators for speed, battery power and operation mode
  • Noise rating: ≤60 dB (merchant specification)
  • Two ¼-inch-20 mounts and a camera attachment point
  • Listed body weight without battery: 3.4 kg (7.5 lb)

5. MixPro - White / 2026

Product overview

MixPro 2026 offers a lighter, travel-minded alternative to the VAPOR family. Its three settings reach a manufacturer-listed top speed of 1.8 m/s, while the removable battery, floater and camera mount suit shorter planned sessions rather than high-speed endurance claims. The 2026 release changes what is included: a 30 L backpack is listed, and European configurations may include a second battery, while U.S. packages list one.

Key Specifications

  • Selected edition and finish: White / 2026
  • Speed modes: three; approximately 1.2, 1.5 and 1.8 m/s (2.68, 3.36 and 4.03 mph)
  • Maximum rated depth: 40 m (131 ft)
  • Battery specification: 122 Wh / 11,000 mAh / 11.1 V
  • Merchant runtime claim: up to 60 min, dependent on operating conditions
  • Listed charging time: ≤2 h
  • Listed weight with battery: 3.55 kg (7.82 lb)
  • Action-camera mounting point, detachable floater and safety leash
  • Package differences: U.S./non-EU 2026 standard listing includes one battery and a 30 L backpack; EU listing includes two batteries
MixPro - White / 2026

6. Mix - Arctic White / 2026

Product overview

Mix 2026 keeps the concept straightforward: two operating speeds, removable battery, floater and an action-camera mounting point. It can be a reasonable fit for beach trips where simple control and carrying the scooter matter more than MixPro's extra speed setting. The product page shows different runtime figures for different source configurations, so treat 45 minutes as an upper listing rather than a guaranteed result for a fast run.

Key Specifications

  • Selected edition and finish: Arctic White / 2026
  • Speed modes: two; 4.3 and 5.8 km/h (2.7 and 3.6 mph)
  • Maximum rated depth: 40 m (131 ft)
  • Battery rating: 122 Wh / 11,000 mAh / 11.1 V
  • Merchant runtime listings: up to 45 min, with a separate 30-min figure for another configuration
  • Charge time: ≤4 h; optional faster-charging configuration is listed separately
  • Action-camera mounting point and detachable floater
  • Standard selected model includes one battery
  • Safety leash and charger listed in the base box contents
Mix - Arctic White / 2026

Buying Notes

  • Compare the precise selected color, edition and included battery count; 'Extra Battery,' Classic and 2026 are different configurations.
  • Ask your airline about lithium battery acceptance and carrier approval before bringing 122 Wh, 158 Wh or 384.8 Wh battery packs on a flight.
  • For open-water use, evaluate actual conditions, flotation and safety-leash requirements; stated depth limits do not establish safety or personal suitability.
  • Before committing to a camera setup, confirm whether mounts, brackets or platforms are included or sold separately.

Final Verdict

Choose VAPOR Pro if the priority is the widest listed speed range in this six-model selection: four settings from 6 to 12 km/h and two included batteries support longer planned outings across battery changes. The advertised 120-minute total is across both batteries, not one uninterrupted run, and the heavier body may be less convenient to transport.

Choose Navbow+ when dive information matters more than outright flagship speed. Its OLED interface, compass and depth readouts distinguish it from Navbow, while both use a 158 Wh battery configuration that deserves special attention for airline travel.

For a more portable family-series alternative, consider MixPro 2026 for three speed settings and its listed 30 L bag in U.S. configurations, or Mix 2026 for a two-speed approach. Confirm your selected edition and what the box includes: U.S. MixPro 2026 packages should not be confused with European two-battery listings.

FAQ

What is the practical difference between VAPOR Pro and VAPOR?

VAPOR Pro lists four speeds reaching 12 km/h and two standard batteries; the selected VAPOR lists three speeds reaching 10 km/h and one standard battery. Check battery and charger contents, rather than comparing headline runtime alone.

How is Navbow+ different from Navbow?

Navbow+ adds a digital compass, richer OLED dive information and a selectable one-hand operation mode. Both models list three speed modes, but their display capabilities and optional accessory packages are not identical.

Does MixPro 2026 include two batteries in the United States?

The supplied product-page information says the U.S./non-EU MixPro 2026 configuration includes one battery, while an EU configuration includes two. The 30 L backpack is listed for the 2026 edition. Verify the exact selected package at checkout.
