Diving for Dummies

'''Here's my first ever.. article... enjoy!'''

Hasn't it been haunting you; there's a whole secondary realm right below you~ deep down below the surface of the water. Of course, there are a few quests later on that require you to dive down - and it's really really easy!

Okay, here it goes (wish me luck)...

1) Firstly you need to know how to get down there; and straight back up the quickest way possible when you run out of breath, and here's how you do it:

- search your keyboard for the 'End' button, this will send you below the water's surface, holding this down determines how far you do go down.

- now look above it (hopefully) to see the 'Home' button; this will raise you up to water level but note: you must hold this down till your breath bar disappears or your health stops going down to ensure you are above the surface.

2) Movement underwater; isnt it fascinating staring at the murky grey underwater? Hell no- movement underwater is similar to movement above ground - just with out gravity....

- forward, back, turn left and turn right are exactly the same as above ground (arrows or letters or whatever alternative) so its pretty easy to move around.

- to change your level/height in the water right click on your mouse, as you would use to change view above ground (or alternative). Depending on where your view is aimed, determines which direction your character will move when swimming forwards.

3) Last little tip: Don't forget you can't survive under there forever! 'Home' key gives a faster rise than forwarding upwards.

'Home' and 'End' can be changed in your Options (in the EQII list, bottom left-hand corner of screen)
