Diving area

Diving areas are a new type of lot assignment that came in The Sims 3: Island Paradise. Unlike other types of lot, diving areas take place completely underwater. Sims can only visit them by scuba diving.

There are four default diving areas in Isla Paradiso. Each of them can only be accessed by having sufficient level of Scuba Diving skill. Below is the list of the diving areas in Isla Paradiso:
 * Rocky Reef (Scuba Diving level 2)
 * Davy Jones' Locker (Scuba Diving level 4)
 * Mermaid Grotto (Scuba Diving level 7)
 * Pearl's Deep (Scuba Diving level 9)

Trivia

 * It's possible for advanced players to edit other premade worlds and make their own diving areas. Diving areas are not exclusive to Isla Paradiso. However, there are several worlds which cannot have diving areas, due to the sea being too shallow or not properly set as "ocean". Appaloosa Plains, Lunar Lakes, Riverview and Twinbrook are the worlds that cannot have diving areas due to the restrictions.
 * While the SimGurus have said that making dive lots is not possible, someone found out how. This tutorial shows how to make a dive lot. (English translation, note that screenshots are not translated)
