If they are still underwater when the last moodlet expires, the Sim may autonomously swim to the surface to save themselves, or die from running out of air. Once this first moodlet expires, they will get a negative moodlet that shows that they are having trouble breathing and should return to the surface, and if this moodlet expires after two hours, the Sim will get the "Gasping for Air" moodlet. The air Sims have left is shown by a moodlet. The amount of air the Sim has depends on their Scuba Diving level. While scuba diving, Sims only have a certain amount of air to inhale before they must return to the surface.

Other worlds will not be updated to have diving areas, but advanced players can add them on their own. Mermaids can also often be seen and socialized with at the various dive lots. There are also gems and fish on the lot that can be caught, underwater caves to explore, and the treasure to discover. The lots are decorated with many rocks, coral and other objects. Once the Sim boats or swims to above the dive lot, Sims with sufficient Scuba Diving skill can scuba dive underwater. One of the diving areas is first available to Sims when they reach the Scuba Diving skill level 2, being Rocky Reef, then level 4 Davy Jones' Locker, level 7 Mermaid Grotto and level 9 Pearl's Deep. Each diving area has scuba diving skill requirement. There are 4 diving areas in Isla Paradiso. Once you learn the skill you'll be able to visit some dive spots and as diving you learn more Skill. If the pool where the Sim is snorkeling isn't spacious enough, the action will automatically be canceled. Sims can also snorkel in a swimming pool with sufficient space, although they will build the skill faster snorkeling in the ocean. Snorkeling may turn up small collectibles such as shells. Snorkeling or taking Scuba Diving classes is the only way to improve the skill enough to be able to actually dive. Sims can go far out in the ocean and snorkel to improve their scuba diving skill.
