Mounting it on a SUP board was simple, and the thumb control is intuitive, which is very helpful while in the water. The battery life is solid: in my experience, it lasted over an hour with moderate continuous use, and the charging time is relatively fast compared to other sea scooters I’ve seen.
Performance-wise, it has enough power to pull an adult with fins or a paddleboard. Underwater (snorkeling and light diving), it made moving around effortless, allowing me to enjoy the experience without tiring quickly. It’s also fun in the pool and safe for kids under supervision.
🔹 Pros:
Compact, lightweight, and portable.
Strong battery life.
Enough power for both adults and kids.
Easy to install on SUP and intuitive to use.
🔸 Cons:
Not designed for deep diving, more for snorkeling and light recreation.
Price is on the higher side, but the quality and performance justify it.
Overall, the Waydoo Subnado is a versatile, fun, and safe underwater scooter. Perfect for anyone wanting to explore the ocean or enjoy pool time and paddleboarding with less effort.
Pros: very small but powerful, good battery life-interment use while snorkeling (scoot around find a jellyfish and just float and watch for a few minutes then move on) the battery will last at least an hr. The "turbo mode" three clicks is very impressive.
Cons: really only one. The turbo mode previously mentioned will not engage when the battery is less than 4 bars (approximately 50%) so I was about 100ft from the boat going against the current wanting to get out of the water after a hr and all the 2 click (medium) speed was capable of was keeping me still against the current. High speed would have gotten me there. Still had 3 out of 8 bars of battery life. Just let me use it when I want to use it! If it runs out so be it.
I will add that my dive buddy, who is stronger than I am, did not have the same problem I did, so you might find it easier to use than I did.
In ultra-high mode, the scooter is extremely powerful, and in regular high mode it's got a fair amount of power. Low and medium are very weak. I did not use it long enough to drain the battery so I cannot comment on battery life.
I missed the return window so I'll probably sell it used.
Update: After posting this review, I was contacted by the maker, Waydoo, offering me a full refund. They emailed me a pre-paid shipping label for the return, and nine days after I shipped it my credit card showed a full refund. Considering that there was nothing wrong with the Subnado (I am just not strong enough to control it comfortably), and that it was well past any reasonable trial period, this is truly excellent customer service, I am increasing my rating to 4 stars.
Bare-bones assembly was pretty straight-forward, as I didn't have any interest in messing with the (many) accessories this comes with just yet. Just snap on the handle and link up the controller connector (wire running out of the handles) to the contacts on the Subnado. There's some greasing that needs to be done, but I'll get into that later.
I was pleasantly surprised at the softness and ergonomics of the handle. It felt good to hold and the grip was comfortable. The trigger placement is great too - the trigger itself is just a tad small, but that may be because this is advertised for use by children as well. I briefly switched it on just to make sure it was in working order, and all looked good, so I set it up to charge.
Near the back of the Subnado body is a safety label - it has a few good reminders, which I always welcome on consumer-grade tech… especially expensive and potentially risky (self-injury) tech like this Subnado. Warnings/pictorials include a reminder to ensure to turn off the device before servicing (charging) it, the meaning behind a couple of the non-typical battery indicator patterns, and general safety stuff (e.g. not letting long hair get near the propellers). I originally thought this label was meant to come off before use, but it seems it is meant to stay on. A small thing, but worth noting.
As mentioned earlier, there's a good amount of accessories included with this, though to be honest, I haven't felt a strong desire to get into them yet. Some nice ones worth noting include the wrist-mount with hand grip (if you wanted to one-arm it and do a 'superman' across the pool), optional tether, and mounting adapter for attaching this to a pool float.
So on grease, I felt it necessary to briefly go over its importance: do NOT skip this step or skimp on the application. There's plenty provided to get a good coat on the necessary areas. Coming from an industry that necessitates some level of gasket or O-ring greasing to help with maintaining a proper seal, I cannot stress the importance of it here. To an extent, the grease helps to cover any tiny openings or voids that could allow water in within the gasket or O-rings, but its main reason is to ensure those things do not get sheared out of position during tightening or mounting. Think of how a rubber band would rub between your hands, bare, vs. being coated in a semi-slippery grease. In one, it'll twist in on itself multiple times, and on the other, it'll almost want to stay completely neutral.
In short: use the grease; get good seals. There's only two areas (the port cover for the USB-C port and the controller connector interface), so it doesn't take long to do. With this device costing what it does, the last thing you want is water ingress damaging or ruining it. No manufacturer will cover user-inflicted damage, whether due to an accident or simply neglect. On that note, it would have been helpful for Waydoo to provide more grease. The tube provided is a bit small, and would have been ideal if it was larger (think of a Neosporin tube). Because best practice would be to replace the grease on frequent-access areas (like the charge port cover) every time it is removed, at minimum. Still, the tube is at least good for long-term storage, and preferable to those tearable 'grease packets' that I've seen some other brands provide.
Now, on usage: I started off using the Subnado in a relatively small swimming pool, and this thing has more than enough power to zip me across quickly. Probably not a great representation of what it can do "full send," but it's the experience I've had with it by this point (~a week in). It's a lot of fun, has a good kick, and so far, pretty good battery life. I've put it through two rounds of use (probably 15-20min each, but closer to maybe 8-10min of actual, continuous runtime) and it's down to 7 of 8 cells on the battery indicator. If it's like any other type of device with a battery indicator, I take this to just mean that it is working on depleting the current cell.
So to recap - the build quality is there, a healthy number of accessories are included, and the functionality is great (so far). Time will tell on the long-term durability. The price is a tad steep at the $500 MSRP, but if you can get it on sale for $400 or so, it will sting a little less.
But, it can't maintain that level of thrust for very long. After just five to ten minutes of fun, it gives up and falls back to boost (2x clicks) at most--and there it's already feeling pretty weak. Another 5-10 minutes later and it's down to regular mode (1x click) and it's more a suggestion than a tug.
With the attachment package I had no trouble sticking this on a paddleboard, and the controls were well chosen--with a caveat that it's easy to get sand in the little triggers. I'd have preferred a better-sealed activation mechanism.
Best is, I think, to take this underwater for scuba. In that environment even the regular 1x speed would probably be just great for tooling around. At the surface you really want 2x or 3x boost, and for those the battery just feels a little underpowered.
Overall, a solid 4/5.
Update: the company reached out to me when I wrote this review. That made me go back and cycle the power switch while plugged into the wall. The battery woke up and started charging again! I don’t know what was doing wrong but I was glad they reached out and supported the unit. Good job.
This ability to move effortlessly at speed while submerged is a game-changer for snorkeling. I can get much closer to the coral and fish, and because I'm not actively swimming, I can hold my breath and stay submerged for 30-60 seconds or longer, enough time to feel like I'm part of the environment. This is very different from taking a breath and trying to swim down, an intense aerobic activity that forces your body to use its stored oxygen much faster.
Overall, I am pleased with this purchase. Is it worth $1k for two scooters and the necessary hardware? I'm not sure, but it is a blast to use, and definitely enhances snorkeling, allowing you to go faster and see more.
A few points of caution when using the scooter to snorkel. First, it is only safe to use this produce when visibility is excellent, and you can see at least 10-20 feet clearly. You do not want to be zooming through the murk and suddenly come into contact with a rock, a boat hull, or someone's legs. Second, it would be very easy, when allowing the scooter to pull you along the bottom, to wind up 40-plus feet deep, without realizing it. If you go deeper than intended, and especially if you use the scooter to shoot back up to the surface, you could give yourself a mild case of the bends. You have to careful to monitor your depth when using this scooter, as it its very easy to lose track. Finally, you need to closely monitor the battery usage by periodically tipping the scooters up and looking at the lights on the front ends. If you run out of battery while far away from shore, you will have to drag the scooter along while swimming with one hand, a dicey proposition for most people, especially in waves or currents.
Update: after the Amazon review I was contacted and the SALES staff reviewed the videos I sent and agreed to send me a new one. It should not take a bad review to admit there is a defect.
It’s very easy to use, the wrist tether was very secure.
I weigh 135lbs. It seemed to get me through the water pretty well, a little kicking with it makes a huge difference. I would consider it more of an assitive device than anything.
For my fluffier friends, I’d recommend a double set up, especially if you’ll be in the water for an extensive amount of time and need that helpful boost.
I highly recommend practicing in a pool before a trip to the ocean, sort out how you will hold it, learn it and your combined limits.
These would be super fun for kids to play with, under supervision of course.
I would offer the 5th star if it had a little more oomph.
(if you buy direct from Waydoo its only 350 & free FAST shipping & no tax!)
Thank me later!
I bought these for us in April(I am NOT a free stuff-receiver/reviewer) for a June trip to Jamaica and I wondered "will they pull my 185lbs around and down in the saltwater ocean with the increased buoyancy?" I mean, the 105lb girl is cute but not representative of a man my size, right?
The answer was YES, one machine will take you anywhere you want to go and in 3rd gear & that includes going straight down in the ocean if that’s your thing.
These 2 Subnado's, one for me and one for my sweetheart made all the difference in the real world choppy conditions off Negril. They were life-changing for me.
For her in-shape self, it was fun but I am older w/compromised breathing……I was never out of breath, they made that much of a difference for me. What used to be a test of endurance, became fun again!
It’s stupid fun!
Wearing two machines( per arm) will turn you into Aquaman! You will get a stupid grin on your face! I promise you, if you are over 50 it won’t go away! My sweetheart also wore both at once and she came up laughing her heart out!
Charging them;
I bought a $30 charger that will pump out 100W from one USB C port and it gets toasty, now I know why the “double-chargers” really only one have 1 @ full-rate. I used the heck out of it charging both machines multiple times some days…it still works.
- Eleanos
USB C Charger, 100W 4 Port USB C Charging Station,
Charges from empty in less than an hour. ½ refills in 20 minutes. Cool way of charging too so you can see it building…..you’ll see.
1st gear- will tote you around the pool was underpowered for the Ocean so pop into 2nd gear by dbl-tapping the trigger....in 2nd gear a single machine will let you run rings around the rest of the group on the ocean. Triple-tapping the trigger will put it in 3rd gear. In 3rd gear you are a master of direction, pivot and spin on a dime, turn and let it jet you straight down too or outrun Michael Phelps, your call!
I also learned that by letting a member or 2 of the crew of the Snorkel boat try it, they let you go off on your own and didn't have to stay "on the rope" when over a reef like the others in the group did
(Pro-tip; Never touch or take from any reef, be cool when you do cool stuff)!
Machine summary;
Great quality build, everyone is impressed by the execution;
I own machines, all kinds.....you guys know what I mean....and these are very well-built with a lot more guts than I thought they would have! The specs are evident and the only “risk” is the non-replaceable batteries. I see it this way, if the Battery solution is executed with the same QC the rest of the machine seems to be, this should last for years. If it isn’t and they “shortcutted”, we’ll all find out together.
Bad point;
The Safety strap is 90% correct but one of the quick-connect round tabs(male side) broke off and was lost while trying to reconnect while using it. Maybe a change in materials? The rest of the safety strap is Excellent, it’s strong, easy to use with the “keeper tab” of material and it’s easy to see.
Pro tip; Watch the line between anchor-point and strap, it can reach the prop and get sucked in.
