so I just got New Horizons not too long ago and had a question:
I got the wetsuit, but it feels like im just slowly swimming around and there doesn't seem to be anything to actually harvest or do? I was expecting something like little shiny spots or whatever to indicate where some loot is, but Ive been wading around my island and haven't seen anything besides the loot thats already on the beach as well as the fish shadows
You should see circular shadows of varying size; some are mobile but not all. They tend to hang out beyond the range of where fish live.
Hitting a button (B? It's been a while) will let you dive. If you make contact with one of those shadows, you'll catch a sea creature/plant.
There should be bubbles rising to the surface that emanate from round shadows visible when you dive, you generally have to get away from the shore to see them and the RNG can be very annoying about spawning them. Touching the shadow causes you to catch it. For fast moving sea creatures the easiest way to catch them is to first approach the bubbles from the surface using only the Control Stick, it'll still flee but slower so you'll more easily close the gap this way; when you're right next to it dive and mash "A" and hopefully you catch it before it starts fleeing faster, or if you're lucky you catch it as soon as you dive. Also, unlike fish and bugs there's no special NPC that pays extra for sea creatures, so you can sell them straight to Nook's Cranny after the requisite donations to the museum.
Edit: Whoops, curse you bottom of the page. Also, every day the first time you catch a scallop Pascal will show up and ask for it, you get either a Mermaid recipe, Mermaid clothing, or a pearl for it, and as usual he'll also share a fundamental truth about the universe as extra. RNG can particularly annoying about spawning scallops, even though they don't sell for that much.
