Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This action-adventure game casts players as Jack Punyan, a former Navy Seal turned underwater mercenary. Players will explore the ocean depths, battling pirates and upgrading equipment, all in pursuit of sunken treasure.
Story
The Story
After serving in the United States Navy, Jack Punyan joined Seal Team Six, the nation's elite counter-terrorism unit. He underwent months of grueling training and conditioning.
Team Six was equipped with multi-million dollar equipment and weapons provided by the US Navy. Jack enjoyed the challenge of undersea missions, but the covert operations caused him recurring nightmares. These nightmares included pre-dawn raids, explosions, slain civilians, and his hands drenched in blood.
After the Gulf War, Jack retired from the Navy Seals as a highly-decorated veteran. However, he still felt drawn to the sea and its unexplored depths, which held vast wealth.
Due to his standby obligation to the Navy, starting his own business was not an option. He contracted with the Underwater Mercenary Agency (UMA) to earn money. This allowed him to purchase and upgrade vehicles, weapons, and equipment for his treasure-hunting adventures.
Jack began his treasure-hunting career at the Navy base on the island of Vieques, off the coast of Puerto Rico. In the Caribbean, he discovered the wreck of the Spanish galleon, the Concepcion, deep in an undersea trench.
The Concepcion was rumored to be laden with gold bound for the Vatican when it sank in a tropical storm in 1641. Despite rumors of underwater pirates in the area, Jack was confident in his training.

PLAYING THE GAME
There are a few basic things you should know before you take on a mission. Make sure to read both the "CONTROLLER INFORMATION" and "GETTING STARTED" sections of this manual before piloting a sub.
SUB VIEWS
There are two different selectable Sub views: first person or third person, press the SELECT button to find out which view is most comfortable.

THIRD PERSON VIEW
SELECTING WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT
Once you have started your mission, you will notice your life and air gauge near the bottom right corner of the Game Screen. Along with these gauges is the current weapon or equipment that you have selected.
You can toggle through your weapons with the O button, and toggle through equipment with the A button. Whatever you have selected will be fired or used by pressing the button. The number underneath the weapon or equipment selected shows how many of that item are left.
THE LIFE BAR
This bar displays your health. When you are hit by enemies, the bar will decrease. When this bar is getting low, you can heal yourself by either picking up medkits or using a medkit which you might currently be carrying. When this bar has been fully depleted, your sub is destroyed.
LOCKING ONTO AN ENEMY
Torpedoes and Missiles require you to lock onto an enemy first. To do so, first select your weapon (Torpedoes or Missiles). When an enemy sub comes into view, a red or yellow triangle will appear over it. When you fire your weapon, it will automatically home in to that enemy.
To switch enemies, hold the SELECT button and press the A button. Smaller enemies such as divers and sharks cannot be locked onto until you get the sonar upgrade. Red dots appear on the sonar display after the upgrade signifying an enemy vehicle.

Tips & Maps
Choose the right sub
Make sure you choose a sub that can dive to the depth of the level you selected.
Use your ROV strategically
To get out of sticky situations, launch your ROV in an enemy empty area and continue to explore. If you get overwhelmed by attacking enemies or marine life, just switch back to your ROV for a breather.
Wear the special wet suit
Get the special wet suit for cold water if you want to leave your sub during the mission. If you don't you will take damage from the cold.
Mine safety
Do not use mines on enemies that are too close; you could easily be damaged or killed by your own explosion blast radius.
Pressure awareness
Take pressure into account when travelling to extreme depths. The pressure can be damaging to your diver if you leave the sub.
Sharks and bleeding
Bleeding divers and animals are often attacked by nearby sharks.
Explore objects
Shoot objects like sunken ships and downed aircraft. You never know what you might find. Some coral can have a payoff as well.
Obtain money
Obtain as much money as possible. Who knows, maybe you'll find out what it's like to be a fierce meat-eating creature of the deep.
Collect Greek tablet pieces
Make sure to obtain all the pieces of the mysterious Greek tablet; you never know where they might lead you. There is one piece in each level (except the Training Mission.)
