I think it’s a shark? If you look closely, there’s a pointy thing on the top and left side that could be fins. And I remember reading somewhere that sharks are going to be in the game as well as krackens and stuff.

Also forgot to add, according to Simgurumike’s twitter, there’s designated diving spots.

That would suck if it was only for the IP world! It would be realistic, I suppose, but if I want to scuba dive somewhere else, I should like to be able to do that!

I always noticed the “ripple glitch” too. It bugs me a bit, but more than anything, it cheapens the look of the game a bit. If you don’t mind that, that’s great, but I agree it would be nice if they fixed it (not that I have enough faith that they ever would). -_-^

I dislike the use of the word exclusive to the IP world that appeared in that blog. Don’t know if anybody else noticed.

Yes and get a sunburn as well if you have seasons. I think this was mentioned in Simguru Ryan’s Blog.

So with seasons we also have the tanning booth. With IP the beach towels will be just another way to get a tan. They’ll also be able to use those on houseboats.

I wish they would answer the question as to how scuba diving will work in other worlds. I know they said dive spots. Does that only mean we can dive in certain places or can we dive anywhere but all the good stuff is at the dive spots?

I assume these dive spots will show up on the map in the ocean part of the map. Also will there be dive spot lots in the library we can place?

In the latest community blog SimGuruTing confirmed that they bite. Quote below.

“Each dive spot is rich in beautiful sea life, from the many corals and kelps that grow from the ocean floor to the fish that you can catch! But watch out for those sharks! I hear they bite and can be pretty nasty about it too.”

It’s a shark you can see the fins and the tail as it swims away from her.
