What the game is about
Freediving as it really is: one breath, one dive. First announce your depth. It is a bet: reach the tag on the rope and surface clean, and the multiplier is yours. Fail to make it back and you lose part of the haul. The tutorial happens in the water and takes two minutes.
How a dive works
Announcement and pace
Before a dive you name your depth and pick your weights. Descending too fast is bad, and too slow is bad as well. A gauge shows your pace, air and heart rate.
Equalizing your ears
A ring closes in around the diver. Equalize at the moment it meets the thin circle, or it hurts.
Dangers
Below 30 metres narcosis sets in and false pearls appear. On the way up, diaphragm contractions and the samba (loss of control) are dangerous. At the end you get a card: white means a clean dive, yellow means you turned back before the tag, a blackout means you ran out of air.
Places and modes
Twelve places on the map, from a Maldives lagoon to a Norwegian fjord and Baikal under ice. Each has 16 spots, 192 in all. Four modes: classic, rescue, rope pull and static. Every spot earns stars, and the ghost of your best dive shows where you were faster.
What to collect
Contracts, a daily dive that is the same for everyone on a given date, an animal atlas, 56 finds and 30 awards. Pearls go on gear and wetsuits.
Controls
Hold your finger or Space to kick, let go to glide. Steer sideways with your finger or the arrow keys. Equalize with the E key or a click on the water. In the last four metres stop kicking: your lungs will carry you up.
FAQ
Do I need to install the game?
No. It opens in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
Will my progress be saved?
Yes. Progress is stored in your browser. If you sign in on the site, it is saved to your profile and opens on another device too.
Can two people play?
No, it is a game for one. The daily dive is the same for everyone on a given date, no network needed for that.
How much does it cost?
The game is free, there are no ads on the studio site, and you earn pearls by diving. The site has four optional purchases: All the World at Once (99 RUB), All Wetsuits (99 RUB, looks only), Double Pearls (199 RUB) and the Diver's Chest (349 RUB, the first three together). We do not sell depth: your best tag opens the way down. Purchases are one-time, with no subscriptions and no automatic charges, and you can buy only after signing in on the site.
