Wet suit

A wet suit is a new clothing item introduced in. It allows the player to go swimming in the ocean.

Obtaining a wet suit
A wet suit cannot be bought with Bells in a shop. Wet suits are obtainable only on the Tortimer Island, and can be bought for 40 Tortimer Medals. Along with several other tools, a rental wet suit is available while the player is on the island.

Using a wet suit
Players can enter the ocean by pressing "A" while adjacent to it. To swim faster, players must tap "A" quickly. Players can dive with "Y" and move while underwater with "A". Once players have touched a dark spot in the water, they will catch it and reveal what it is. Players cannot stay underwater for long, but the longer they are underwater the faster they move.

Players can also leap from cliffs and into the sand or the ocean by standing near the cliff and pressing "A".

Players cannot wear other clothes while they are wearing a wet suit; only shoes, headwear and accessories remain visible. Other clothing articles remain worn under the wet suit, but cannot be seen nor removed until the wet suit is removed.

Trivia
If the player's villager gets out of the water at night, they will shiver.
