Your aim is to find the pearls hidden in the sea bed off the sun drenched beaches of a tropical island. This is free diving so first you must fill your lungs with oxygen before making your dive.
Keep an eye on your oxygen level and also the killer sharks and other creatures of the sea.
Hit the Left and Right Arrow Keys as fast as you can to fill your lungs. After you dive in the water use the Arrow Keys to swim to the sea bed avoiding the dangers on the way.
Collect as many pearls and other treasures from the sea bed as you can before making your way back to the surface. Use Space Bar to pick up the items. Remember if you run out of oxygen then your diving days are over.
Free online game available from http://pearl-diver.freeonlinegames.com
