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.
