Sept. 2024

Upfront, this game is stunningly realistic and shows only the start of what's possible in future. I hope that high-end GPU's and VR headsets get cheaper to be available for everyone also younger age because I felt like I'd be really there, diving. Let's be honest, the few negative reviews either look at more game play - in real life diving isn't any and you're lucky if you find any wreck or treasure - or it's expected to be perfect in every aspect, which no game is. If you get a fish by hand it glides away, you can't grab it. That's still better than glitching just through. I could go on but... To the developer: be proud of what you created. Stick on it and update it. I will buy any additional scene. Bigger wreck diving like ships or submarines, etc. You have the tech, it's up to your imagination to entertain us.

I have been a recreational-tec diver and public safety diver for nearly 17 years. This game absolutely nails the look, feel and really, the SOUND , of being underwater while free-diving/snorkeling. Very immersive. The environments are incredibly realistic and the wildlife behave and move naturally. I am really really impressed with what is on offer. The game looks great, runs great and controls well. Do yourself a favor and try this out. Recommendations to the developer: please introduce scuba, a depth gauge and a pressure gauge. Some deeper environments would be cool, including a rec penetration. I'd love to see a shore dive from Bonaire in the Dutch Caribbean or perhaps a WW2 tec dive from the south pacific. Fingers crossed there is more to come.

Experienced on the Meta Quest 3 You can view my gameplay & early impressions here: https://youtu.be/54sjOpEHGgw This is the best diving experience in VR bar none. If you are a VR veteran, this is a must buy. This is something you'll want to showcase to family & friends to show that VR is still immersive and magical. This game reminds me a lot of Kayak VR Mirage. It's really about the journey more than the gameplay itself. You'll get transported to a magical underwater world that is a joy to explore. The visuals are fantastic and performance is top notch as well for the most part. The attention to detail in each of the levels is what makes this a premium experience. My best advice is to not watch any videos and download the free demo for yourself if you have any doubts. The game is running on the Unreal Engine 4. You have full locomotion and smooth turning on land (you can also smooth turn underwater). The swimming here is the most polished swimming in VR. It's easy and intuitive. It just works! However, you don't have to physically swim after you get fins and the weight belt, you can then just propel forward and dive or go up based on button inputs if you prefer (you get to choose!) All in all, this is near perfection. My only major gripe is that the scales do seem a bit off, as you do feel like a giant swimming at times. However, everything else is premium. The 3D models, the animations, the maps, all are highly detailed and it's just a pleasure to swim underwater and see the different fish, sharks, turtles, jelly fish, whales and other aquatic life, along with all the vegetation. This experience is special and a must buy for VR. Rate 9/10. I bought this game!

Played the Demo a ton. Now that the full game is out and i played it i bit i can say it's on of the best underwater vr experiences. the graphics are stunning and the audio is top notch. I noticed that there's a lot more coins on the training (demo) level which is great. I'm on the next area and looking around for stuff. i'm not trying to figure out how to unlock the shark tank level which looks really great. Hoping the developer continues to make more areas to explore either free or as DLC but i'm gonna want more for this in some way there is so many possibilities with those graphics. i have to get back to this game now.
