'''Scuba diving''' is an activity in [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. It can be performed anytime by the player, it can be used to get to hidden items in shipwrecks and other places underwater. Each individual character has his own lung capacity however if it's too low then with the use of [[Scuba Suit|scuba suit]] the player will have an oxygen tank. Many of the shipwrecks contain hidden treasure - usually around $25,000. Going very deep in the ocean trenches such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariana_Trench Mariana Trench] causes the player to lose health and die of lack of oxygen due to high pressure. The player must also beware of sharks that appear in the ocean.

Scuba diving is an activity in Grand Theft Auto V. It can be performed anytime by the player.

In order to begin the activity, the player must go to the wardrobe at his safehouse and choose the Scuba Suit (this is not necessarily required, as the player can scuba dive with regular clothes on). The player then must enter either a Dinghy or a Submersible. Upon exiting either craft, the player will immediately be equipped with a scuba tank and breathing apparatus. The player will then be able to enter the water and dive. The movement controls while scuba diving are identical to the controls of normal underwater swimming, however this time the player is not restricted by any breath meter. There is also a depth limit, and if the player passes it, he will slowly lose health and eventually die. Other underwater dangers the player must be aware of are sharks, which may attack the player unprovoked.

Scuba diving can be an enjoyable activity to perform, and with the inclusion of a fully-detailed underwater environment and several wrecks scattered about the ocean, this may be a very rewarding activity as well. Some shipwrecks around the ocean contain weapons strewn amongst the wreckage, along with briefcases full of money.

If the player walks on land, he will immediately take off the scuba tank and mask. 

Despite having a steady supply of oxygen, scuba diving gradually increases the player's lung capacity.
