In Genshin Impact, underwater exploration is limited due to restrictions on movement in the seas. Players usually go fishing or looking for treasure, as diving for too long is unfeasible, despite attempts to hold their breath or use snorkels. But Update 4.0 promises to change that, with HoYoverse introducing ways for characters to stay submerged longer.

With Genshin Impact Update 4.0, the swimming mechanic will look different. Players will be able to stay longer swimming underwater. A blue resistance bar will soon appear, which is specific to the diving activity and will be spent as the character moves through the seas. When depleting the bar, you will not die, as it will be possible to stand still to recover the stamina bar.
Ways to recover “Aquatic Stamina” in Genshin Impact 4.0
You don’t necessarily need to stand still to recover “Aquatic Stamina”, as you can recharge the bar by collecting Orb of Resurrection. That is, in Genshin Impact 4.0 (or later version) it will be possible to swim for hours on end. In addition, you can also go through “Swirling Bubbles” to increase the speed of movement in the water, making the movement more efficient and you lose less air.
New scuba skills are restricted to the Fontaine region
It is important to note that the features described above are exclusive to Fontaine. In this way, you will not be able to reproduce the same in other places of Teyvat. In addition, only some areas of Fontaine allow the player to dive in, as the map is not yet fully open to explore.
Are there restrictions on choosing the character to dive?

There is no restriction on the character chosen to swim. You can choose any one you like. However, only one skill will be available underwater, as the elemental skill and ultimate will be disabled. However, it is possible to absorb nearby aquatic creatures to thwart traps and collect treasure trapped in seaweed.
HoYoverse May Expand Extended Dive Sites
Diving is an experience that is usually special in RPGs and most of the time it ends up being interrupted before the player can properly explore the place. The new diving mechanic of the 4.0 update is HoYoverse’s implementation to address this issue. Even though underwater exploration is limited to some areas of Fontaine, it is believed that there will be expansion in the future.
Release and availability
Genshin Impact Update 4.0 will be released on August 16, 2023. In this version of the game we will have the new diving mechanic and the debut of the Fontaine region for players to explore.
