Gameplay
You have four divers, used one at a time. Wait until the water under the boat is clear, then jump in. You cannot steer or shoot until your diver has sunk to a certain depth. Each dive gives you 60 seconds of air, and the countdown replaces your score at the bottom of the screen. To refill, swim back into the boat through the panel at its bottom centre. While the harpoon is out your diver cannot move.
Once every fish is speared you have to get into the wreck before new ones arrive. Inside, three sea monsters guard the chests. Your harpoon is no use against them, and they can swim straight through the shipās walls. Your diver cannot, and the walls are sticky: touch one and you get stuck until you wiggle the joystick hard. The game ends when your last diver is lost.
| Action | Points |
|---|---|
| Each fish harpooned | 500 |
| One chest on a dive | 500 |
| Two chests on the same dive | 1,500 |
| All three chests on the same dive | 11,500 |
Points are added to your score when you climb back into the boat. The four game variations set the fish and the sea monsters to normal or high speed in different combinations.
Tips
- Go for all three chests in one dive. The jump from 1,500 to 11,500 points is huge, so it can be worth waiting for a dive with plenty of air left.
- Keep an eye on the air. The fish come back on the way up, so leave enough time for the fight back to the boat.
