Subnado PLUS Sea Scooter

The Waydoo Subnado PLUS Sea Scooter is the higher-power choice in the Subnado family for buyers who want more pull, more speed and a bigger battery without jumping to a much bulkier setup. It keeps the compact, travel-friendly Subnado idea, but gives you a noticeable step up in performance for snorkelling, freediving, light scuba use, boat days and stronger towing support.

If you already like the idea of a Subnado but want something that feels more capable and less “entry level”, this is the model to look at. It suits confident leisure users, more adventurous holiday buyers, and anyone who wants a compact underwater scooter they are less likely to outgrow quickly.

Where the Subnado PLUS sits in the range

Think of the range like this: the Subnado Lite Sea Scooter is the easiest and most affordable way in, the Subnado Sea Scooter Package is the classic all-round handheld setup, and the Subnado PLUS is the step-up for buyers who want stronger propulsion and a bit more headroom in performance.

If your main goal is underwater exploring, swimming support or a more powerful handheld sea scooter, the PLUS makes sense. If your real priority is pushing a paddleboard or kayak on the surface, you will usually be better served by the Subnado Sea Scooter SUP Motor Package.

Why choose the Subnado PLUS?

• More thrust when it matters – ideal if you want a stronger pull through the water than the smaller Subnado models.
• Compact without feeling underpowered – still easy to pack, carry and store, but with a more serious performance feel.
• Bigger battery for better sessions – more usable runtime for longer swims, exploring and repeated use.
• Fast USB-C charging – easier to live with, easier to travel with, and quicker to turn around between sessions.
• Versatile use – works well for snorkelling, freediving, boat use, fun family sessions and underwater exploring.
• A sensible upgrade path – a strong choice for buyers who do not want to buy the smallest model first and then wish they had gone bigger.

Helpful reading & buying advice

Waydoo Subnado Explained – SUP, Kayak & Diving Underwater Scooter Guide

Who should choose the Subnado PLUS over the standard Subnado?

Choose the PLUS if the main reason you are buying is stronger propulsion. It is the better option for buyers who want more pull, a bigger battery and a more capable feel. If you just want compact underwater fun and to keep cost down, the standard package or Lite may be enough.

Is the Subnado PLUS the right choice for paddleboards and kayaks?

Not usually as a first choice. The PLUS is primarily a handheld underwater scooter. If your main aim is surface propulsion or assist on a SUP or kayak, the SUP Motor Package is normally the more appropriate route.

Can I travel with the Subnado PLUS battery?

The 144Wh battery sits in the 101–160Wh bracket, so airline approval may be required before flying. Always check the latest rules with your airline before travel rather than assuming it will be accepted automatically.

Is the Subnado PLUS beginner-friendly?

Yes, in the sense that it is still compact and straightforward to use, but it is really aimed at buyers who want more performance rather than the simplest or cheapest way in. For casual family use or lighter holiday use, the Lite can be the easier starting point.

How deep can the Subnado PLUS be used?

Waydoo states a maximum depth of 60m. As always, depth capability on the product is not the same thing as user skill or safe dive planning, so use it within your training, environment and conditions.
