As you can see, there are plenty of Animal Crossing: New Horizons deep0sea creatures to be caught. If you want to head to the water to catch some, you’ll need to be sure and get a wetsuit first. From there, simply head to the water, press A to get in and when you see a bubbly spot, press Y to dive.

If you need a break from catching underwater creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there are plenty of other things to do. In the list below, you’ll find some of our recent guides that should give you some inspiration.
