Sublue WhiteShark Navbow Plus Underwater Scooter — Overview
The Sublue WhiteShark Navbow Plus is Sublue’s smart-tech flagship underwater scooter — the fastest scooter in the Sublue lineup at up to 2.0 m/s, with up to 75 min runtime from the 158 Wh waterproof battery and a maximum diving depth of 40 m. A built-in OLED display, digital compass, depth and temperature sensors, plus SublueGo app integration turn it into a connected diving instrument, not just a tow scooter.
3-Speed Powerful Thrust
Three speed gears — Free (1.0 m/s), Sport (1.5 m/s) and Turbo (2.0 m/s) — the fastest in the Sublue range. Switch on the multi-function dial or via gesture for hands-free control.
Smart Safety Features
Flashing OLED screen, audible buzzer and auto-shutdown protect the diver. Configurable depth and battery alarms in the SublueGo app add a second layer of safety.
Cutting-Edge Diving Instrumentation
Built-in digital compass, water-depth and temperature sensors give live readouts on the OLED screen — dive logs are stored automatically and sync to the SublueGo app.
Durable Anti-Corrosion Build
Latest anti-corrosion materials and finishes for hassle-free maintenance and a long service life in salt-water diving.
Stunning Underwater Photography
Mount a GoPro on the standard front bracket or attach the optional Sublue photography platform (LED lights, float arms, action cameras) via the 1/4″ interface. Capture stunning underwater shots and videos in motion.
* Sublue photography platform sold separately.

Navbow Plus vs. Vapor & Standard Navbow
The Navbow Plus is the smart-tech flagship of the Sublue diving lineup:
| Model | Top Speed | Runtime | Smart Sensors | App |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Navbow Plus (this product) | 2.0 m/s | up to 75 min | OLED, compass, depth, temp | SublueGo |
| Sublue Navbow | 1.8 m/s | up to 60 min | OLED, compass, depth | SublueGo |
| Sublue Vapor | 1.7 m/s | up to 60 min | Snorkel-focused, no OLED diving array | – |
SublueGo App
The SublueGo App generates underwater dive logs (depth and temperature), updates firmware, configures safety alarms, enables the safety lock, sets manual operation modes, and lets you share your dives with friends.
App details: see the User Manual.
The SublueGo App requires iOS 12.0 or higher, or Android 7.0 or higher. App features are subject to change — please keep the SublueGo App up to date.
Who is the Smart Diving Scooter for?
The Navbow Plus is built for divers who want speed, depth and connected diving instrumentation — not just a tow toy:
- Scuba and freedivers who want a 40 m-rated tow scooter with live depth, temperature and compass readouts
- Diving-photo and video content creators who use the GoPro mount and 1/4″ interface for in-motion underwater shots
- Yacht and resort owners who want a smart, app-connected scooter as a premium guest experience
- Riders progressing from the Navbow or Vapor who want a faster top speed (2.0 m/s) and longer 75 min runtime
- Eco-conscious divers who want emission-free electric propulsion in a durable, anti-corrosion build
Snorkel-only riders who don’t need the diving instrumentation should consider the simpler Sublue Vapor; price-conscious divers who don’t need Turbo speed should consider the Sublue Navbow.
FAQ — Speed, Battery, Depth & App
How fast can the Navbow Plus reach?
Three speed gears: Free (1.0 m/s), Sport (1.5 m/s) and Turbo (2.0 m/s). Real-world speed depends on water temperature, depth, current and the diver’s equipment setup.
How long does the battery last?
The 158 Wh waterproof battery delivers up to 75 minutes under normal conditions. Runtime depends on speed mode, diver weight and water conditions.
How deep can the Navbow Plus dive?
The Navbow Plus 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?
The 158 Wh pack charges in approximately 3.5 hours; the optional 98 Wh battery charges in approximately 2.5 hours from empty.
How do I switch between speed gears?
Push the multi-function button switch forward for half a second and release, or use the two-hand gesture (press both start buttons, then quickly tap the right-hand button twice within ~0.45 sec and hold) to cycle gears mid-dive.
Does the Navbow Plus warn me when the battery is low?
Yes. Below two battery grids the OLED icon flashes and vibrates three times; below one grid the icon keeps flashing and vibrates six times — so you always know when to start surfacing.
What is the safety lock mode?
With the safety lock active, the scooter cannot be operated. The lock icon appears on the OLED display. Unlock the scooter via the SublueGo app to resume operation.
Can I attach a GoPro or other action camera?
Yes. The Navbow Plus has a standard GoPro mounting bracket below the front and a 1/4″ thread above it, so you can mount action cameras, lights and the optional Sublue photography platform.
What does the SublueGo app do?
The SublueGo app generates dive logs (depth, temperature, time), updates firmware, configures alarms, enables the safety lock, supports self-cleaning routines and lets you share dives with friends.
How do I install the counterweight column to set buoyancy?
Start with one counterweight column in the middle jack, fully submerge the scooter to release trapped air, and check buoyancy. Add more columns until buoyancy matches your dive profile and equipment.
Why does the thrust feel weak sometimes?
Inspect the propeller for tangled seaweed, fishing line or other debris before each dive. Thrust also varies between speed gears — match the gear to your weight, equipment and water conditions for the best feel.
Can I use the Navbow Plus in salt water?
Yes. Anti-corrosion materials and finishes make the Navbow Plus salt-water-rated. Rinse with fresh water after each dive and let everything dry before storage.
