Nobody on this team has taken a Sublue scooter into open water, so this is not a verdict on how any of them perform. It is a map of what Sublue publishes about its lineup, prices and policies, built from the brand's own pages.
What Sublue sells, and who it is for
Sublue makes underwater scooters — handheld, motorized devices that tow a diver or snorkeler through the water — and one unrelated product, a robotic pool cleaner called the BN Pro. The brand says it was founded in 2013 and now operates out of Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Tianjin and Shenzhen, with more than 150,000 units sold in over 80 countries.
Sublue calls itself the "pioneer of the world's first recreational handheld underwater scooter," without naming a source, so it reads as marketing language rather than a verified fact. The same page shows award icons with no organization named and media credits from GearJunkie, Forbes and Digital Trends with no linked articles — more unsupported claims.
The lineup splits into four price tiers: an entry-level Play model, a mid-range Family pair, a dual-motor Performance pair, and a flagship Performance pair, ahead of the unrelated pool cleaner. Price tier, not depth rating, is the decision that actually separates these products.
The real choice: which Sublue line fits you
Every scooter here is rated to 40 meters except the entry-level EZ, which tops out at 15 meters, so speed, run time and price are the variables that matter.
Buyers who just want to glide sit at the bottom: the SUBLUE EZ at $349 and the Mix 2026 at $449 both run on one battery with a simple two-speed control and a top speed under 2 m/s.
A step up, the MixPro 2026 reaches 1.8 m/s with a published 60-minute run time and a fast charger that recharges in two hours or less — for divers wanting more push without a dual-motor model.
The Navbow and Navbow+ add a second motor and three modes — Free, Sport, Turbo — trading run time for speed as the mode gets faster: Navbow+ publishes 45 minutes in Free, 20 in Sport, and only 8 in Turbo.
At the top, VAPOR and VAPOR Pro are built around distance and on-device readouts rather than top speed alone. VAPOR Pro ships with two batteries for a combined 120 minutes and adds a 4.3-inch screen showing speed, depth and battery, at $4,099.
Shoppers on a tighter budget have one more option: Sublue's Open Box line, described as inspected, cleaned and function-tested returned stock, sold with the full manufacturer warranty still attached — Sublue publishes two different prices for it, covered below.
Specs, model by model
SUBLUE EZ, $349 (was $389): top speed 1.4 m/s (3 knots), low speed 1.1 m/s (2 knots), 15-meter max depth, battery rated for 18 minutes continuous, 25 minutes at low speed, or up to 50 minutes with moderate use, 3,500 g with the battery.
Mix 2026, $449 (was $499 on the collection page — the product page separately shows "from $369" for a cheaper variant, a gap Sublue does not explain): speeds of 1.2 and 1.6 m/s, 40-meter depth, up to 45 minutes from a removable 122 Wh battery, 3.5 kg total.
MixPro 2026, $699 in White/Black (was $729) or $499 in Classic Black (was $529), with roughly $165 added for a second battery on either color: three speeds up to 1.8 m/s, 40-meter depth, up to 60 minutes, a 122 Wh / 11,000 mAh / 11.1 V battery recharging in two hours or less with the included fast charger. EU orders ship with two batteries; elsewhere, one.
Navbow, $999 with one battery: Free/Sport/Turbo modes up to 2.0 m/s, 40-meter depth, up to 60 minutes under normal use, a 158 Wh battery with roughly a 3.5-hour charge time, dual motors, one-hand control.
Navbow+, $1,199 in Flame Orange or Phantom Gray: same 2.0 m/s top speed and 40-meter depth as the Navbow, with a published per-mode run time of 45 minutes Free, 20 Sport, 8 Turbo, plus 3.4 kg without the battery and 1.1 kg more with it.
VAPOR, $2,999 across every color: speeds of 6, 8 and 10 km/h (6.2 mph top), 40-meter depth, a 13,000 mAh / 384.8 Wh battery needing 3 hours standard or 1.5 hours with the optional fast charger, 8.6 kg total.
VAPOR Pro, $4,099, ships with two 384.8 Wh batteries for a combined 120 minutes: a fourth speed up to 12 km/h (7.46 mph top), a published 249 N of thrust, a 4.3-inch LCD showing speed, depth and battery level, 8.7 kg total.
BN Pro, $1,099 (was $1,399): a robotic pool cleaner rather than a scooter, carrying the longest warranty tier Sublue publishes for anything on this storefront, 36 months.
Pricing and the brand's published discounts
Four lines run automatic, no-code markdowns: SUBLUE EZ at $349 (was $389), Mix 2026 at $449 (was $499), MixPro 2026 at $699 (was $729) with the Classic version at $499 (was $529), and the BN Pro at $1,099 (was $1,399). None need a code — the lower price shows on the page.
A Navbow/Navbow+ accessory kit is marked down to $239 from $479. The SUBLUE EZ's current listing is the cheapest way into the lineup and a reasonable place to start comparing against the markdowns above.
Sublue's Open Box line has the one price contradiction worth flagging. The homepage and collection page list it from $279 (was $389); the individual product page lists $359 (was $499) instead. Sublue does not reconcile the two anywhere, so confirm the exact model and price in your own cart before paying.
None of the current markdowns carry a published end date — Sublue calls the pricing "seasonal," which is not the same as a sale with a deadline.
Shipping
Free shipping applies in the continental US and DC on orders over $100, and across the EU on orders over EUR 100 (EUR 200-plus for remote EU areas). Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau get the same $100 USD threshold. The rest of Asia, plus North America outside the US, Oceania and the Middle East, need a $4,000 order to qualify.
Sublue ships to more than 80 countries. For destinations with no listed flat rate, the brand asks buyers to email store@sublue.com rather than publishing one online. Shipping and duties are calculated at checkout, and Sublue's own wording says duties are "typically included" in the listed price — a brand claim, not an independent guarantee.
Sublue does not publish shipping costs below those thresholds, delivery time windows for any region, or whether the $100/$4,000 thresholds are measured before or after a discount code — a $20 code on a $110 order could, in principle, drop it under $100 and cost the free shipping.
Returns
The return window is 30 days from delivery. An unopened unit only loses a card-processing fee of 2.5%-plus and a currency-conversion fee of 1.5%-plus — not a restocking fee.
An opened-but-unused return faces a restocking fee of 10% to 50%, set by what Sublue's inspection finds. A used unit with no technical defect is not eligible for a return at all, because Sublue says it cannot be resold as new.
Return shipping inside the US is prepaid by Sublue and deducted from the refund; for a confirmed technical defect, Sublue covers it in full regardless of location; outside the US for a non-defect return, it is handled case by case and, if Sublue fronts it, still comes out of the refund.
The unit has to come back unused, in original condition, with the outer box, inner packaging, accessories and manual all included. The exact wording is on Sublue's own refund policy page.
Warranty
Mix, MixPro, Navbow, Navbow+, Swii, Tini and Hagul EZ carry 12 months on the body, controller, drive system, battery and charger. VAPOR carries 24 months on the main unit and motor but only 12 months on its battery and charger — a shorter window on the parts most likely to need replacing.
BN and BN Pro get the longest published term, 36 months on equipment parts, excluding consumables. H1 and H1+ get 12 months, matching the entry and mid-range scooter lines.
Exclusions cover cosmetic scratches from normal use, accidents or misuse, unauthorized repairs, and consumable parts. A replacement does not reset or extend the original warranty clock, and Sublue may apply a regional service fee of up to 20%. Claims need proof of purchase and the serial number, filed by email to support@sublue.com with a description and photo or video.
A separate paid plan, SUBLUE CARE, starts at $69 and adds one accidental-damage replacement, a 12-month warranty extension, and 50% off a battery replacement — it covers most of the lineup but is sold as an add-on, not built into the base price.
What Sublue does not publish
Sublue does not publish shipping costs below its free-shipping thresholds, delivery time windows for any region, or whether those thresholds are calculated before or after a discount code.
On discounts, Sublue's affiliate page only says codes range "from $20 to $150," with no minimum order size, no excluded-product list, and no statement on whether a code stacks with an already-discounted item, including its own Open Box stock.
Sublue does not publish an end date for any current markdown, calling the pricing "seasonal" rather than giving a deadline — and it does not publish an original list price for VAPOR Pro, so there is no way to tell whether that $4,099 has ever moved.
According to The Gadgeteer's 2024 review of the MixPro, the device has no manual kill switch, auto-shutting off after about 10 minutes idle, and its speed-mode switch was, in the reviewer's words, "occasionally unresponsive" during testing. Neither detail appears on Sublue's own MixPro page — this is the outside reviewer's finding, not something Sublue has confirmed or denied.
Who should skip Sublue
Anyone who needs a confirmed delivery date before ordering should hold off — Sublue publishes free-shipping thresholds, not delivery windows, for any region.
Anyone planning to fly with the scooter should check their airline's rules first. According to The Gadgeteer, the MixPro's 122 Wh battery "can be an issue when flying" under standard lithium-battery limits, and Sublue's own pages say nothing about air travel.
Anyone who already owns a used unit with a scrape but no technical fault should not expect a return, regardless of how minor the issue is.
Anyone comparing the two Open Box prices Sublue has published should email the brand to confirm which figure applies to a model before paying, rather than assuming either $279 or $359 is the real starting price.
Check before you pay
- The code we list, UP-RCZS9TZ4CN, has been checked in a real shopping cart and the $20 discount applied on a $100-plus order as described. Sublue's own public pages do not display this code or its minimum order anywhere, so treat the $100 figure as verified through testing, not something the brand states itself.
- Sublue's affiliate page only says codes "range from $20 to $150," with no published minimum order tied to that range.
- Sublue does not say whether any code can be applied to items already on markdown (SUBLUE EZ, Mix, MixPro, BN Pro) or to Open Box stock.
- Sublue does not publish a list of products excluded from discount codes.
- The $100/$4,000 free-shipping thresholds are not confirmed to apply before or after a code is subtracted, so an order that lands just under the line after a discount may lose free shipping.
For the current price on any of these models, this $20 code, and Sublue's other published deals in one place, see the Sublue coupon codes page on StackWell Pick.
