Sublue Vapor Underwater Scooter — Overview
The Sublue Vapor is Sublue’s high-thrust, fast-charging diving scooter — a streamlined, spindle-shaped scooter built around the new ALO 2.0 (Active Loop Optimization) propulsion system that delivers a top speed of 10 km/h (2.78 m/s) and 21 kg of thrust. The 384.8 Wh battery delivers up to 60 min of dive time and refills from 0–85 % in 1 hour with the Fast Charger.
Dive computer-style instrumentation (battery, speed, compass bearing, water temperature, depth) plus app-driven dynamic speed control and depth-aware power management make the Vapor a serious tool for scuba and freediving sessions.
ALO 2.0 Propulsion (10 km/h, 21 kg Thrust)
The Active Loop Optimization 2.0 system pairs a 6-bladed impeller with a 12-bladed rear guide vane — high torque, smooth thrust delivery and the fastest top speed in the Sublue lineup (10 km/h).
Spindle-Shaped Hull for Smooth Glide
The streamlined, spindle-shaped hull and hydrodynamic buoyancy chamber minimise drag and water disturbance — the Vapor glides further per watt and tracks straight at speed.
LED Dashboard (Battery · Speed · Bearing · Temp · Depth)
The futuristic underwater dashboard shows battery level, current speed, compass bearing, water temperature and depth on a single screen — dive-computer-style instrumentation built directly into the scooter.
Super-Fast Charging (1h to 85%)
The 384.8 Wh removable battery charges from 0 to 85 % in 1 hour and to 100 % in 1.5 hours with the Fast Charger. BMS protection covers overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short-circuit and discharge monitoring.

Who is the High-Performance Diving Scooter for?
The Vapor is built for divers who want the most thrust, the highest top speed and the fastest battery turnaround:
- Scuba and freedivers who want the fastest scooter in the Sublue lineup (10 km/h) for serious underwater touring
- Yacht and resort owners who run back-to-back guest sessions and benefit from the 1-hour fast charge to 85 %
- Underwater content creators who need the 21 kg thrust to tow camera rigs and accessories
- Divers progressing from the Navbow or Navbow Plus who want more thrust and higher top speed
- Tech-curious buyers who appreciate the ALO 2.0 propulsion, depth-aware power management and the LED dive dashboard
Divers who want a more compact, lighter scooter with built-in compass and Sublue’s full app stack should look at the Sublue Navbow Plus; price-conscious divers who don’t need the Vapor’s extra thrust should consider the Sublue Navbow.
FAQ — Speed, Thrust, Battery & Use
How fast is the Sublue Vapor?
Up to 10 km/h (~2.78 m/s) — the fastest scooter in the Sublue diving lineup, well ahead of the 7.2 km/h Navbow / Navbow Plus.
How much thrust does the Vapor produce?
21 kg of thrust via the ALO 2.0 system (6-blade impeller + 12-blade rear guide vane). Enough to tow heavy camera rigs and to push the diver against currents.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 60 min of runtime, depending on speed mode and water conditions. The 384.8 Wh battery is the largest in the Sublue lineup.
How fast does the battery charge?
With the Fast Charger, the battery charges from 0 to 85 % in approximately 1 hour and to 100 % in 1.5 hours. The standard charger takes ~3 hours from empty.
How deep can the Vapor dive?
The Vapor is rated for diving depths up to 40 m (131 ft) — well into the recreational scuba range.
What does the LED dashboard show?
Battery level, current speed, compass bearing, water temperature and depth — dive-computer-style instrumentation built into the scooter.
What is ALO 2.0?
Active Loop Optimization 2.0 — Sublue’s new propulsion system that pairs a 6-blade impeller with a 12-blade rear guide vane for higher torque, smoother thrust and a higher top speed than dual-motor designs.
Can I customise speed and alarms?
Yes. Dynamic speed control lets you tune the gear curve, depth-aware power management automatically adjusts thrust at deeper depths, and the alarm functions warn for low battery and excess depth.
Is the battery removable?
Yes — the 384.8 Wh battery is removable and BMS-protected against overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short-circuit and discharge faults.
How heavy is the Vapor?
8.6 kg with battery. The streamlined spindle-shaped hull keeps it compact at 54 × 38 × 29 cm.
Can I use the Vapor in salt water?
Yes. The Vapor is built for both fresh-water and salt-water diving. Rinse with fresh water after each salt-water dive and let everything dry before storage.
Is the Vapor suitable for beginners?
Yes — dynamic speed control lets new divers start slow and progress to the 10 km/h top speed over time. The depth-aware power management adds a safety layer for inexperienced divers.
