Use the Seaglide as a mobility tool while maintaining a safe return plan.
Understand the mechanic
The Seaglide helps players move around underwater more efficiently. It does not remove oxygen limits, so greater travel range can tempt you farther from the surface or into a cave before you understand the route out.
Put it into practice
Before diving, identify a landmark, a beacon or a base position that you can reliably find again. Use speed for purposeful movement rather than entering unfamiliar depth without a reserve of breathing time.

- 04Monitor oxygen while travelling
Common mistake to avoid
Faster movement is not a substitute for navigation. Losing your bearings in a cave can erase the advantage of reaching it quickly.
