Back to the Shrine

  Diver
Meet diver. I'm not sure who he's trying to portray from the movie (maybe Richard Dreyfus?), but he's the main character in the game. His weaponary: infinite amount of spears.

FACT: It's humanly impossible to carry anymore than four regular sized sportman spears while swimming.

  Jelly Fish
Jelly fish come up from the bottom of the screen until it reaches the top of the water then it disappears.

FACT: Jelly fish are very commonly found in warm waters, usually a great amount in June and July. These fish contain nymcots (high school biology :D) or stinging cells used for paralyzing prey and predators. If stung by one, you will feel a slight sting and it may seem numb-like later on (I've been stung several times down the Jersey shore).

  Sting Ray
Sting ray swim from left to right, or right to left, of the screen. Like jellies, a hit from one means sudden death.

FACT: Rays are very common (I've caught quite a few fishing) in both Eastern and Western coasts, though species differ. They have been given a nickname of "devil fish" due to its obvious looks. Their tails can regenerate within about a few months, fisherman and aquarists take these precautions when necessary. A sting is deadly painful (I know a 30-some year old man that caught one while surf fishing and cried so loud that people came from all over the beach). When stung, you must immediately seek medical help or the victim will become very ill or in extreme cases even die from the poision. The injection can come from its horned tail or throughout its spiny horns found at the center of the fish.

  Baby Jaws
They travel alone when you're at your first power lvl, but when you begin to advance, they will come in schools of up to five at one time. The toughest minor enemy of the game, taking up to 10 hits to destroy.

FACT: Both younger and older sharks usually swim together. To breathe, sharks must constantly swim at all times or find a highly riched oxygen area. In fact, there has been a report last year (2000) that a group of sharks have been found hanging out in a hidden cove at an exotic location. This is a rare sight to see non-moving sharks all in one area. When scientists did research on this specific site, they found out that this one cove had an unique amount of oxygen and thus they were able to survive staying motionless. In theory, they were getting their fair share or in crude terms "getting high" unti they had to find food.

  Jaws
The main bad boy, the king of the ocean, the 7th wonder of the world, a 5-foot robotic shark! Jaws is the main boss of the game and requires to be at a power lvl 4 or 5 to beat in one scene. After you defeat him underwater you must then put a hole through him in the final showdown.

FACT: Gigantic great white sharks are so powerful that fishermen have to blast off their heads with a shotgun and must remain away from the dismembered body because it still will attack. That's how truly monsterous these beasts actually are.
