Sublue Mix underwater scooter

Quick answer

Choose SUBLUE Mix 2026 if you want a two-handed, dual-motor sea scooter for pools, beaches and recreational snorkeling, with an included removable floater and a battery you can change between sessions.

Choose SUBLUE MixPro 2026 if you want the same family-friendly format with a higher top speed, three speed levels, faster standard charging and up to 60 minutes of published runtime.

Choose LEFEET P1 Lite if low weight, a 60 m equipment depth rating, USB-C charging and optional modular mounting for one-hand, dual-unit, leg, tank or SUP use matter more than an included floater or a replaceable battery.

There is no universal winner. Mix and MixPro are stronger fits for shared recreational use and battery flexibility; P1 Lite is the more compact, configuration-focused option for travelers and divers.

Why this comparison matters

The current 2026 Mix and MixPro upgrades make this a closer comparison than the headline numbers first suggest. Mix 2026 and P1 Lite both list a top speed of 1.6 m/s, while MixPro reaches 1.8 m/s. P1 Lite is much lighter and rated deeper, but Mix and MixPro use a wider two-hand platform, include a removable floater and accept replaceable batteries.

The real choice is therefore not simply “which scooter is faster?” It is which design better fits the way you plan to travel, snorkel, dive, film and share the product with other users.

How we compared the three scooters

We focused on the factors that usually matter most when deciding what to consider when buying an underwater scooter: handling format, weight, speed control, published runtime, battery design, charging, depth rating, buoyancy approach and accessory compatibility.

Specifications below were checked against the manufacturers’ published product information on July 16, 2026. Actual speed and runtime vary with speed setting, user size, equipment, water conditions, temperature and operating pattern. Prices are excluded because packages and regional pricing change frequently.

1. Design and handling: shared two-hand platform or compact modular unit?

Mix and MixPro use a wide, two-handed body with a motor on each side. That layout is immediately understandable for recreational users: hold both handles, point the scooter where you want to go and release the controls to stop propulsion. The wider format also makes the product easy to pass between family members during a pool or beach session.

P1 Lite takes a different approach. Its 1.8 kg main unit is substantially lighter and can be used with optional mounting systems for one-hand operation, two linked units, a leg mount, a scuba tank or a SUP.

The trade-off is setup. A modular system can be more adaptable, but the final handling experience, weight and cost depend on the bracket, controller and package selected. Compare complete configurations—not only the weight or price of the P1 Lite main unit.

2. Travel: weight versus battery flexibility

For luggage weight and packed volume, P1 Lite has the clear advantage. Its published 1.8 kg main-unit weight is roughly half the listed weight of Mix or MixPro.

Mix and MixPro are heavier, but their advantage appears after arrival: the battery can be removed for transport and replaced with a charged spare between sessions. P1 Lite’s battery is integrated and not user-replaceable, so extending a day on the water depends on access to charging rather than a battery swap.

Before flying, review how to travel with an underwater scooter battery and confirm the exact battery, carry-on and approval requirements with your airline. Never rely on the product’s watt-hour rating alone.

3. Runtime and charging: what the published numbers do—and do not—mean

P1 Lite lists 60 minutes of battery life and approximately 1.5-hour charging. The standard package includes a USB-C cable, but the power adapter may be sold separately depending on the package.

Mix 2026 lists up to 45 minutes and a standard charging time of up to four hours, with an optional two-hour charger. MixPro lists up to 60 minutes and includes faster charging in its current package. Both SUBLUE models support replacing the battery, which can matter more than a small difference in single-charge runtime for multi-session use.

Manufacturer runtime figures are normally measured under defined test conditions and may include intermittent operation. Continuous use at the highest speed can be shorter. Compare your expected session pattern—not just the largest number in the specification table.

4. Speed, thrust and depth: match the rating to the activity

Mix 2026 and P1 Lite both publish a 1.6 m/s top speed. MixPro increases that to 1.8 m/s and adds a middle speed, while P1 Lite offers four speed levels. More levels can help with fine adjustment; a wider two-hand platform may feel more familiar to users who want simple steering. Neither advantage is automatically better for everyone.

Performance should also be considered as a system. This guide to why more thrust is not always better explains the trade-offs among propulsion, control, weight, battery demand and intended use.

P1 Lite carries a 60 m equipment depth rating, compared with 40 m for Mix and MixPro. That difference matters to trained divers whose planned operating depth exceeds 40 m. It does not mean an untrained user should descend to either limit. Personal certification, gas planning, environment and applicable safety rules determine a safe dive—not the scooter’s housing rating.

5. Beginner and family use: included features matter

Mix and MixPro are designed around a two-hand recreational format and include a removable floater and safety leash. On MixPro, SUBLUE states that the attached floater provides positive buoyancy within 5 m; it should be removed for deeper operation.

P1 Lite is also marketed for beginners, snorkeling and casual diving, and its lower weight may be easier for some users to carry. However, its product FAQ states that the P1 buoyancy sleeve is not compatible with P1 Lite. Buyers should confirm the unit’s buoyancy behavior, use the specified anti-loss system and follow the manual for the selected configuration.

For shared use with younger or first-time riders, follow a family underwater scooter safety guide and the age, supervision and swimming requirements in the product manual. SUBLUE currently specifies Mix 2026 for users aged 14 and above, with minors accompanied by a parent or guardian.

6. Underwater filming and accessory use

All three products support sports-camera use, but they serve different filming styles. Mix and MixPro provide a central sports-camera mounting point on a two-hand body. This is a straightforward setup for forward-facing vacation footage while both hands remain on the controls.

P1 Lite’s modular system can be configured for one-hand use, which may free the other hand for equalization or a separate camera. It can also be paired with optional mounts or a second unit. The advantage comes with a need to check the exact bracket, controller and camera-mount compatibility before purchase.

If filming is a priority, review an underwater scooter photography setup before choosing the scooter. The best platform depends on the full camera rig, safe control method and the type of footage you want—not only maximum speed.

Which underwater scooter should you choose?

Choose SUBLUE Mix 2026 if…

You mainly want recreational snorkeling, pool use and family beach sessions; you prefer a ready-to-use two-hand body; an included removable floater matters; and you want the option to carry and swap a spare battery.

Choose SUBLUE MixPro 2026 if…

You want the same shared-use format with a 1.8 m/s top speed, three speed levels, up to 60 minutes of published runtime and faster standard charging. It is the stronger SUBLUE option for users who expect longer or more frequent sessions.

Choose LEFEET P1 Lite if…

Your priorities are a 1.8 kg main unit, a 60 m equipment depth rating, four speed levels, USB-C charging and the ability to build one-hand, dual-unit, leg, tank or SUP configurations. It is particularly compelling when compact travel and modular use outweigh replaceable-battery convenience.

Frequently asked questions

1. Which is better for family snorkeling and first-time users: SUBLUE Mix or LEFEET P1 Lite?

For most families and first-time recreational users, SUBLUE Mix is the more complete choice. Its two-hand control layout is easy to understand, and the standard package includes a removable floater and safety leash. The battery can also be replaced between sessions, making the scooter easier to share during longer pool, beach or snorkeling days. P1 Lite is lighter, but its strongest advantages are compact travel and modular mounting rather than an all-in-one family setup.

2. Is SUBLUE Mix more powerful than LEFEET P1 Lite?

Yes, based on the published maximum-thrust figures. SUBLUE Mix is rated at 100 N and MixPro at 110 N, while P1 Lite is rated at 8 kgf, equivalent to approximately 78.5 N. This gives Mix and MixPro more propulsion headroom for larger riders, shared recreational use and compatible camera accessories. Actual speed and pulling performance still vary with the rider, equipment and water conditions.

3. Which model is better for long family beach days?

SUBLUE Mix and MixPro offer the more flexible power setup because their batteries are removable. A charged spare can be installed between sessions instead of waiting for the scooter to recharge. P1 Lite publishes a competitive 60+ minute runtime, but its integrated battery cannot be replaced by the user. For repeated sessions or a scooter shared among several people, SUBLUE’s battery system is the more practical advantage.

4. What happens if the scooter is released underwater?

Mix and MixPro include a removable floater. With the floater correctly attached, SUBLUE states that MixPro provides positive buoyancy within 5 m, helping the scooter return toward the surface if released. The included safety leash should still be used, especially when operating deeper than the floater’s supported range. LEFEET’s current product information states that the P1 buoyancy sleeve is not compatible with P1 Lite, so SUBLUE provides the more complete standard recovery setup for recreational use.

5. Which model is easier to take on a plane?

P1 Lite has an advantage in packed weight and uses a 100 Wh integrated battery. SUBLUE Mix and MixPro are heavier and use 122 Wh removable batteries, which commonly require prior airline approval. However, the removable design makes the SUBLUE battery easier to separate from the scooter and pack according to airline instructions. Always confirm the exact requirements with the carrier before travel.

6. Does P1 Lite’s 60 m rating make it better for normal snorkeling?

No. The 60 m figure is an equipment depth rating, not a recommended user depth. For pool use, family snorkeling and recreational ocean sessions, SUBLUE’s 40 m rating already exceeds the depth at which these activities normally take place. In these scenarios, the included floater, higher published thrust, two-hand control and replaceable battery are generally more relevant purchasing factors than the additional housing-depth rating.

7. Which is better for underwater video: SUBLUE MixPro or P1 Lite?

MixPro is the stronger ready-to-use choice for most recreational filming. It combines a central sports-camera mounting point, a stable two-hand format, three speed levels and 110 N of published maximum thrust. P1 Lite can support specialized one-hand or modular filming configurations, but these may require additional mounts or controllers. Buyers who want a straightforward camera-ready setup with more propulsion headroom should choose MixPro.

Final verdict

SUBLUE Mix and MixPro are not simply heavier alternatives to P1 Lite, and P1 Lite is not simply a lower-power competitor. They represent different product philosophies.

Mix 2026 is the practical choice for recreational users who value a familiar two-hand platform, an included floater and replaceable batteries. MixPro adds more speed control, faster charging and longer published runtime for more frequent use. P1 Lite remains a credible niche option for buyers who prioritize the lightest main unit, a 60 m equipment rating and modular mounting above family-oriented convenience.

Best next step: compare the complete package you would actually buy—including charger, controller, brackets, float or leash, camera mount and any spare battery—then choose the configuration that fits your real use rather than the most impressive single specification.
