  • Really enjoyed playing this exploration game in the murky depths of the sea once again, forgot how much I used to like it back in the day, and for 1983, the animation of the fish, sharks sprites etc are brilliant and detailed. A fun game still.
    Highly recommended this one 👌

    More fish than Harry Ramsden. I remember the "coral" being annoying - as you found, too. You have to get down low enough for the pearl, but somehow spin round without getting snagged. Bet Jacques Cousteau never had this bother. 😁👍

      @giulianomarco Hey Marco, ah yes, getting snagged on the coral is still a bit of pain, but I still enjoyed playing this again, I might need more practice mind 😆 🤣
      Still a speccy classic mate 👌

    Hey nice one Paul, love Scuba Dive, was the very first Speccy game I played and what sold me on the system. Stunning game and so atmospheric in its time.
    Your blue lighting worked perfect here mate 🦈

      @Tetlee Ok Lee, yeah same as me, my brother always enjoyed it back in the day too, stunning shark sprites mate, and I'm obviously not as good I used to be either , its a bit fishy in the shed now 😆 🤣 🐟
