Oh deep joy

[Guest]

I got a treasure map. Only problem is that it is over 200m off land in that stuff where you cannot breathe, oh yes, it is called water and it is to deep to dive down there because we need air to breathe

 

 

EDIT: Success but it was a pain in the seating area, dive dig a little bit surface, breathe, dive again dig a bit more surface etc etc. Finally can get at the treasure  and it is locked. Surface AGAIN, dive again and lockpick the thing, surface and get to shore. What a surprise I am now wet

You can also dig a tunnel under the sea bed from land - just be careful not to dig up too much

You have to get the air tank mod for your helmet.  Just don't rise to quickly from a deep dive or you'll get decompression sickness.

I would just abandon any chest in deep water; if I had to dig one, I'd abuse the water physics to prep a breathing room at the bottom. Lay down a minimum of 3x3x3 cube of frames, remove the center ones from one side. This opens an air pocket which may or may not fill; when it doesn't you can breathe there. Any changes/damage to the surrounding blocks may cause the water to recalculate - so if left just open, it will fill up. Replacing and removing frames will work again.

 

If you want, you can make it a lot more reliable by using doors and such, but for a simple treasure hunt, anything more involved would be overkill.

A random tip to play with: Even poles will keep water 'out' if you place two layers of them, a single layer of pole leaks.

Drowning isn´t an issue at all. It takes ages. I was underwater for 10mins and still alive, i gave up on trying because i barely lost any health. Maybe this changed with A20, but in A19 it was basically impossible to drown by accident.

so...what was the treasure for all that effort? Empty water bottle?
