How do I see under water?
I just bought the game yesterday and have been exploring some of the caves, but there are many parts where I get the feeling I need to swim under water in order to proceed. But, as one would expect, my light sources don't work under water and it's pitch black so I'm likely to get lost and drown. How am I supposed to see exactly? Is there some waterproof flashlight I missed or something? Thanks!

You need the rebreather, it has a flashlight that activates when underwater but vision will be blurry still. Its in a cave near the yacht.

If you'd like a little direction finding the rebreather you need:

You are looking for a cave near the Yacht beach. There are two entrances you can use, a squeeze entrance and a climb entrance. I highly advise using the squeeze entrance as the climb entrance will bring you straight into a chamber with 2 grey skinnies while the squeeze entrance lets you run to that same chamber with your weapon at the ready. The squeeze entrance isn't too hard to find luckily. Once you are at Yacht Beach, head to the base of the large bare hill. You should see a small pond in the treeline when you look towards the forest. Head towards that pond, and a bit past it. If you see some cannibal totems and hear bats, you've arrived. It's not very far from the pond, within sight still but slightly deeper in the forest, so if you miss it initially just check around the area a bit.

If you'd like to know what to expect inside:
Loot:
Rebreather obviously, Rusty axe, several story items like pictures and magazines, ALL the cloth (break the boxes), watches, some circuit boards, coins, hairspray, toy piece, candy, sodas, booze, flares, meds, rope, and another flashlight (becomes batteries if you already possess one not attached to a weapon).
Enemies:
First large chamber contains two grey skinnies, usually behind the rock formation near the rope but they do run around when disturbed. Don't forget to check the left side where there's a small outcrop with some loot. Past the wood barrier varies, can be anything from only 2 grey cannibals, to a cow/pig with 4 greys, it tends to depend on playtime and overall aggression, so the longer you've been playing and making enemies the worse the spawn tends to be. In this chamber, check the far wall from where you entered to find most the loot. Then climb down the rope. The next, and last, enemies for this cave will be in the first water section after collecting rebreather. The water opens up to another chamber with a rocky platform on the right side of the water. That platform spawns 4 babies, worth noting that these die when they touch water.

Keep in mind there are no diving goggles in the game, so even with the re-breather you will still have very blurry vision underwater, despite having the benefit of the somewhat dim light.

go into option graphic and turn ocean quality on flat and you will see alot more in water with or without rebreather
