Description
Take on the role of a fearless pearl diver, as you plunge into the unknown ocean depths! You'll be swimming with sharks, squid, jellyfish and all manner of strange and deadly creatures. When you find a clam, wait for its shell to open, then swoop down and grab your prize! Descend further, to find larger clams with bigger pearls. And if you go deeper still, you may find cave systems with ancient treasures to be taken. That is, if your oxygen holds out and you can get past the waving tentacles of the octopuses which guard these forbidden places!
Once you've taken as much as you can find, you'll have to make it back to the surface. Climb aboard your boat, offload your booty, then strap on a fresh oxygen tank and take to the waters once more.

It's actually spooky when you dive too deep
The Good
Diving for treasure is a simply but dangerous pastime. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it is to run out of oxygen, or die trying not to die from a shark attack.
I found it well worth replaying as a kid, and still today it is challenging enough to warrant for gaming .a night or two
The Bad
No sound other than a beep here and then.
The Bottom Line
A classic title from 1983 that is worth it still today.
