Sublue Navbow Underwater Scooter — Overview
The Sublue Navbow is the mid-range underwater scooter in Sublue’s diving lineup — a powerful dual-motor scooter with three speed gears up to 2.0 m/s (7.2 km/h), up to 60 min runtime and a maximum diving depth of 40 m (131 ft). A sharp OLED display shows speed, battery and depth at a glance — perfect for scuba divers, freedivers, snorkelers and underwater photographers.
Dual-Motor Propulsion (3 Speed Gears)
Dual-motor system delivers strong, stable thrust across three speed gears: 1.0 m/s · 1.5 m/s · 2.0 m/s. Ergonomic one-handed control keeps the other hand free for buoyancy or camera operation.
Up to 60 min Runtime, 40 m Depth
The lithium-ion battery delivers up to 60 minutes of runtime per charge and supports diving down to 40 m — well into the recreational scuba range.
Sharp OLED Display
The OLED screen shows current speed, battery status and depth at a glance — high-end diving instrumentation in a compact tow scooter.
Salt-Water Safe, GoPro-Ready
High-strength, corrosion-resistant materials are rated for salt-water and fresh-water diving. A universal action-camera mount (GoPro-compatible) makes the Navbow a natural platform for underwater photo and video.

Navbow vs. Navbow Plus vs. Vapor
The Navbow sits in the middle of the Sublue diving lineup — more capable than the snorkel-focused Vapor, but with less smart instrumentation than the Navbow Plus flagship:
| Model | Top Speed | Runtime | Depth | Smart Sensors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Navbow (this product) | 2.0 m/s | up to 60 min | 40 m | OLED, depth |
| Navbow Plus | 2.0 m/s | up to 75 min | 40 m | OLED + compass, depth, temp, SublueGo app |
| Sublue Vapor | 1.7 m/s | up to 60 min | 40 m | Snorkel-focused |
Who is the Mid-Range Diving Scooter for?
The Navbow is the sweet spot of the Sublue lineup — high performance without the Plus’s app and compass:
- Scuba and freedivers who want a 40 m-rated tow scooter with OLED depth and speed readouts
- Underwater photo and video creators who use the GoPro mount for in-motion shots
- Yacht and resort owners who want a premium guest experience without paying for the full smart-sensor suite
- Riders progressing from the snorkel-focused Vapor who want a deeper-rated, faster scooter
- Eco-conscious divers who want emission-free electric propulsion in a durable, anti-corrosion build
Divers who want app integration, a compass and temperature sensors should look at the Sublue Navbow Plus; snorkel-only riders should consider the simpler Sublue Vapor.
FAQ — Speed, Battery, Depth & Use
How fast can the Sublue Navbow go?
Three speed gears (1.0 / 1.5 / 2.0 m/s) with a top speed of 2.0 m/s (7.2 km/h). Real-world speed depends on water temperature, depth, current and diver equipment.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 60 min of runtime, depending on speed gear and conditions. The lithium-ion battery is removable, so you can swap in a spare for back-to-back dives.
How deep can the Navbow dive?
The Navbow is rated for diving depths up to 40 m (131 ft) — well into the recreational scuba range.
How long does the battery take to charge?
A full charge takes approximately 3.5 hours from empty.
Is the Sublue Navbow suitable for beginners?
Yes — the ergonomic, one-handed control and the three-speed gear box (start in Free, work up to Sport / Turbo) make the Navbow easy to learn for both new and experienced divers.
Can I mount a camera on the Navbow?
Yes. The Navbow has a universal action-camera mount (GoPro-compatible) for in-motion underwater photo and video.
What safety features does the Navbow have?
A safety lock, dual-propeller protection guard, and an automatic low-battery alert. The OLED display also lets you monitor depth, speed and battery life live during the dive.
Can the Navbow be used in salt water and fresh water?
Yes — the Navbow is designed for both. In fresh water it sits slightly negatively buoyant; in salt water it sits neutral. A buoyancy regulator is included to fine-tune balance. Rinse with fresh water after each salt-water dive.
Is the battery removable?
Yes. Swap the lithium-ion battery for a spare to extend your dive session without waiting for a full recharge.
What is the difference between the Navbow and the Navbow Plus?
The Navbow Plus adds a built-in digital compass, water-temperature sensor, longer 75 min runtime, SublueGo app integration (dive logs, alarms, safety lock) and improved buoyancy control. The standard Navbow still hits 2.0 m/s and 40 m depth, but without the compass and app.
What is the operating temperature range?
The Navbow operates from -10 °C to 40 °C (14 °F to 104 °F) — well outside the comfortable dive range, so the scooter never limits you.
