FYI: I attached the videos via Dropbox, you DO NOT need to create and account to view them! (Not sure if you'll be able to see them through mobile)

Are there any other things that y’all have encountered about diving that I didn’t mention? I would like to know if I’m missing or overlooked anything!

I heard from someone else but haven't had a chance to verify myself: [apparently] you can sneak up on sea creatures by holding A instead of pressing it!

The update fixed a bug/issue where any buildings that were built or moved to the beach couldn't have any patterns placed on the 6 tiles (2 x 3 rectangle) in front of them.
- There are only three options for wetsuits as of now, all color ways are available to all players without having to catalog/touch trade for them.
First style you find at Nook’s Cranny where you buy tools/wallpaper at. These will be the Striped wet suits.
Second style you find at Nook Shopping that can be accessed via phone (if you have the app) or with Nook Stop at Resident Services. These will be Leaf-print wet suits
Finally, the third style you exchange for Nook Miles at Resident Services under the Redeem Nook Miles option, NOT to be confused with Nook Shopping. Here, you will be able to find the Nook Inc. wet suit and Nook Inc. snorkel.

- I’m not sure about this, but the Snorkel Mask color ways can ONLY be obtained via catalog/touch trade because it is gift in a letter you get from Nintendo. There is a chance that if you have multiple players on the same island, they’ll get different colors (mine did). These CAN be purchased through Nook Shopping after cataloging.
- Pressing (A) and leaving it pressed down is actually quite fast, almost as fast as pressing (A) repeatedly, so I don’t think there’s really a need to keep pressing (A) repeatedly just to get from point a to point b… unless I’m trying to catch a ‘fast’ creature. (My friend was moving, but I think I have other videos where they're swimming in a straight line and it's pretty much the same thing).
- You can actually jump off the dock that’s located at the Airport! I find this quite fun, but the lovely @LilBabyDelirium does point out some issue behind it regarding trading, for more info about these issues please go to this thread and be respectful!
- Please correct me if I’m wrong, but Pascal doesn’t show up if you have a friend over and you find a Scallop. I’ve found 3 scallops while a friend was over, and he NEVER showed up (I haven’t seen him all day).
- My friend started glitching after a while…. but they said I wasn’t and that on their end, their character never looked the same as it does here (This was on my island).

- You CAN’T get on your rocks from the ocean (at least none of mine).
- Doing a back flip from the pier is actually really hard…. Or maybe I’m just terrible at it. Edit: Technically just a flip, not a backflip.. my bad
I do get it at the end
- Thanks to @icecreamcheese I found out you can jump dive from cliffs if they're close enough to the edge!
- Scallops DO NOT have to be next to the net for Pascal to show up
- You can actually see Pascal eat his Scallop! So cute~
