Have you ever wanted to explore the depths of the oceans but are either too young or lack the opportunity to do so? The vast diversity of marine life and the mysteries of the deep have inspired the creation of many interesting diving games and there are quite a few to play on the Nintendo Switch.

We have put together a list of fun and interesting video games that are available on Nintendo Switch that are either fully-focused or have extensive mini-games that are faithful representations on the marine environment. These games feature Scuba Diving, Underwater Photography, Oceanography, and Exploration.

Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit

This may seem like a strange one to add to the list but hear me out. For anyone who purchased the Toy-Con Camera Kit. You will be able to partake in the Underwater Camera game. This game drops you in the middle of the sea surrounded by marine life. From a first-person perspective, you can swim up or down and take pictures of the wonderful creatures around you. You can only take three photographs but you can soon enough dive straight back in again. There is no time limit either so just immerse yourself and enjoy!
