    Breathtaking world! So rich, intricate, and vibrant. Sea-riously already the best environment even though they have been doing mermazing environments in the past already but this world easily tops them all!! The swimming aspect which I'm not shore why some people doubted was pearlfectly executed and I kinda figured they'd be able to deliver because swimming is an essential part of Atlantis.

    Love all the details from the swimming marine life to the aquatic faunas, the ancient statues and architecture, it all so nice to soak in and sea! I've been yearning for this content for soo long and every episodes suggestions thread that would pop in and out, I'm there with my Atlantis DLC wishlist! The styles were also appropriate and very fabulous as usual!

    Thank you devs for all your hard-work in making this episode stunning! I can't wait to swim around all day!! I shell be taking bottomless shellfies...

    I know it's a bit literal of me, but I don't understand why players have unending bubbles of air coming out of their legs while swimming deep undersea.

    Other than that it suggests "underwater." What's the in-game justification? Do we somehow generate air constantly? Where are these gasses coming from? Non-stop farting for hour after hour?

    What's going on with this?

    Assist.

    To answer your question... the constant bubbles seen in the swimming animation are created due to a process called "Cavitation".

    For example >> If you move your hands back & forth quickly (or kick your legs) while underwater... your body movement creates a space (void) in the water & any air in the vicinity will subsequently expand into that low pressure void you created... and bubbles will develop as the water also re-envelops the space.

    In other words... as your hands (or legs) move underwater, the pressure in front of your hands (or legs) will rise... and the pressure on the back side of your hands (or legs) will drop.

    So if you move your hands (or legs) around continuously... the pressure on the back side can drop to the vapor pressure of water at that temperature. This causes the water to evaporate and change into a 'gaseous' phase.

    So what looks like 'bubbles' caused by your moving limbs... is mostly water in the 'gas phase' (aka steam).

    Even though there is little to no oxygen around them... Cavitation is the reason WHY bubbles appear from a boat propellor (or a submarine propellor). Same principle.

    Here's a video that can help explain it better than I can...



    Hope this helps.

    Who voices Aquaman in this? The voice sounds familiar.

    That totally makes sense. I actually know how cavitation works with propellers, but for some reason I was entirely forgetting that feet could also cause it.

    Thanks muchly for explaining.

    It did.

    I'm a bit disappointed my farting explanation isn't it, though.
