Subnado is a compact and lightweight underwater scooter. The small device can fit in backpacks and travel bags, is 6cm wide, 36cm long, and 1.4kg in weight, making it the perfect portable scooter.
The Subnado has a quick-release mounting system that allows it to be secured to your arms, legs, or surfboard. It is equipped with solid and adjustable propulsions and features two regular gears as well as a sports mode gear. Its single-engine can reach speeds of 1.4M/S, while the dual-engine tops out at 2M/S.
It is controlled by a finger ring remote to free your hands and allow you to snap underwater pictures. The device can go up to 60 meters below water, and a 1-hour charge gives you up to 56 minutes of ocean time.
