We're fast approaching summer, and there's no better time of year to go for a dip in the ocean.

Of course, if you're reading this on 2nd May 2024, then you probably know that Nintendo is offering its own virtual "dip" in the ocean in Endless Ocean: Luminous, the surprise new game in the Endless Ocean series. And while we might not have loved the game, it did make us appreciate vthe underwater levels and sections of video games.

An underwater level might strike fear into a person's heart, but there are plenty of excellent examples out there. We're not talking about terrifying drowning noises in Sonic games, or the electric seaweed from the Dam Level in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — we're talking about the serene, the beautiful, the sometimes scary, but the almost always excellent.
