As soon as you equip a Wet Suit, you can push A versus the ocean to jump into it and swim. You can push An again as soon as youre in the water to swim around and press Y to select up any critters you find.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons gamers can now go diving for brand-new sea creatures.
Youll be able to find animals like Starfish and Oyster, in addition to Scallops. Finding a Scallop will summon Pascal, a red sea otter who will want the tasty animal. Hell offer you DIY recipes for mermaid furniture in return.
These critters can be contributed to the fish section of the Museum and have their own Critterpedia page on your Nook Phone. Like fish and bugs, certain sea animals just appear during certain seasons and times of the day. Sea creatures are a separate type of animal from fish, implying that C.J. will not buy them from you nor will he turn them into models.
Check out our table listed below for info on when to find the animals. Well be upgrading the table as we find more sea creatures.
