Suex New VR Series: Scooters for all conditions
It's no surprise that the new lineup of VR SERIES DPVs released in 2025 is the pinnacle of innovation and a revolutionary game changer.
Whether you’re a professional seeking perfection or an enthusiast looking to experience the underwater world without limits, the new VR Series' perfect blend of advanced technology and functional design reflects SUEX’s unrelenting drive to redefine what’s possible for divers worldwide.
New VR Series: 1 Body - 3 models - 7 colours
The new VR series DPVs are as simple and professional as possible: One body, three batteries, and seven colours.
The NEMO: Excellent for recreational divers and snorkellers
The QUANTUM: Outstanding performance for technical divers
The VOYAGER: Made for travelling divers of all levels, meeting IATA standards
Whichever version you get, you can easily switch to another with a battery dedicated to that version. That means that even the so-called recreational Nemo can be converted to a Voyager or Quantum in the future, or vice versa.
Better still, you can choose from six optional colours to suit your style if you want to divert from standard black scooters.
Commonalities – Same weights & same sizes
It’s important to note that, regardless of their speed, range, or battery power, each “model” is identical in shape and size except for the battery. They all weigh 8.5kg without the battery and only 11.5kg with it. They are 51cm long, 42.2cm high, 34cm wide, and 20cm in diameter.
The VR Nemo, Voyager, and Quantum are shore and boat-friendly and easy to transport whether diving off a vessel or from a beach.
Their robust body material, Technopolymers and Loaded Polypropylene can tolerate water temperatures between- 5ºC and +35ºC, and each DPV is 100 metres depth rated.
New VR Series DPV Highlights
Interchangeability isn’t the only highlight of each model. The new VR series inherits the revolutionary Nautilus Concept Technology from Suex’s premium lines, an engineering approach designed to deliver unparalleled stability and control during dives.
With cruise control integrated into the handle trigger, divers can maintain their desired speed. This ensures smooth navigation and complete control for a consistently enjoyable and manageable dive.
The Recreational Suex VR Nemo DPV
The Suex VR NEMO DPV is designed as an ideal first DPV, with user-friendly controls that guarantee a seamless and exciting dive, making it perfect for those starting to scooter underwater. Its target market also clearly includes snorkellers, freedivers and training activities.
With a maximum charge time of 3.45 hours, it has a 50-minute runtime at maximum speed and a 110-minute runtime at cruising speed. In comparison, the Voyager, with a charge time of 4 hours, offers 60 to 130 minute runtimes, and the Quantum, with a maximum charge time of 7.3 hours, provides 90 to 220 minute runtimes (that’s over 3.5 hours!).
At 70m/min full speed, this DPD’s range is 3.5km, compared to 45m/min at cruise setting for a 5km range. Accessible ranges of the Voyager for the same settings is 4.2 to 6km and the Quantum 6.3 to a whopping 10 kilometres.
You’d have guessed that at the same nominal voltage of 25.2 volts between the three units, the nominal capacity of 292.9 Wh of the Nemo is below that of the Voyager (355.6 Wh) and the Quantum (585.7 Wh).
In summary, you’ll get just under 2 hours of scootering with the Nemo at its cruise speed and hopefully reach 5 kilometres if you don’t get lost on the way ;-). That’s plenty for double-day sea dives, dives off the beach and plenty of circles underwater in a quarry!
The top-of-the-line Suex VR Quantum DPV
The Suex VR QUANTUM DPV is priced between the Nemo and Voyager models. It has the same dimensions and weight as these two devices, yet its 585.7 Wh battery provides maximum power and range.
With a maximum thrust range of 6.3km to 10km while cruising, it can operate for 220 minutes at cruising speed and 90 minutes at full speed. Note that the cruise speed of 45m/min and full speed of 70m/min is the same across all three models.
Therefore, it is ideal for diving professionals, technical divers, explorers, and advanced recreational divers.
The VR Quantum DPV stands out in its class, designed for ultimate reliability, ensuring consistent performance and durability in the most challenging diving conditions.
It serves as an exceptional scooter across all diving environments and is sure to become a favourite among divers in the UK.
The Travel Hungry Suex VR Voyager DPV
The Suex VR VOYAGER DPV is the most expensive in its class. It shares the same compact, robust design and features as its siblings and offers longer runtimes than the Nemo. However, it falls short of the Quantum.
The difference between the Voyager and the Nemo is minimal. At maximum speed, the Voyager operates for 4 hours, whereas the Nemo lasts for 3.45 hours. Cruise durations range from 60 to 130 minutes for the Voyager, compared to 50 to 110 minutes for the Nemo.
Unless you require that extra kilometre after scootering for five hours or the additional 20 minutes of dive time, the Voyager represents a worthwhile investment for reasons you can read below.
The Suex Voyager's 355.6 Wh battery supports shorter runtimes and a shorter distance to the Quantum but charges faster. With its range and runtime, it covers almost all conditions.
The Voyager's true strength is that it is airline-friendly and can travel worldwide.
This makes it a compelling option for recreational and technical divers and those already owning a DPV. The Voyager is completely travel-friendly, regardless of your mode of air transport.
Thanks to its battery pack, which complies with IATA's UN38.3 regulations, it can be carried as hand luggage in the cabin (and even comes with its own travel case). This eliminates the logistical headaches often associated with transporting traditional DPVs by air.
Furthermore, the Voyager's compact and lightweight design makes it easy to transport. These features make it an ideal choice for anyone seeking a versatile and easily transportable DPV without sacrificing performance.
Another feature of the VR Voyager is its special battery, which allows it to travel more efficiently. Its advanced board monitors four battery packs, each with its own Battery Management System (BMS). Even when one battery is down, it continues with three extra packs.
In Summary
If you’re just getting into DPV diving, whether recreational or technical, the Nemo is a great first scooter which is future-proof and doesn’t break the bank in its league.
If you’re definitely going technical, the Quantum is definitely worth the extra cost.
And if you travel a lot or already have a scooter but intend to travel for diving frequently, the Voyager will combine the powers of the two.
