Early Access Review
As a real life diver I was excited to come across a diving game that actually did what a diving game should to do; simulate wrecks, aquatic life, adventure and exploration. I've played eDiving (simulator), Infinite Scuba and WoD (the three diving games I know of as currently supported) and without a doubt WoD is the most polished and has the most potential to continue to be the best available.

The new mission creator is cool, and integrates pretty well into the way the game maps work. The wrecks are intriguing and well laid out, the aquatic life is interesting and the new schooling behaviors are great.

The game is still early release, and as such features, maps, and even bugs (to be expected) are rolling out on continual basis, but the developers keep a weather eye on the forums and user communications and do a pretty darn good job of addressing everything as it comes and goes.

The graphics are decent, but could use some frame rate optimization which the developers have acknowledged and are working on currently.

There's definately a few things I'd like to see added/changes (and you can read posts from myself and many others on the official forums), but the developers are doing a great job of communicating their plans and taking our user advice.

If you're a diver, a fan of games like Endless Ocean, or just the "explorer" type, definately take a moment to look at this game and hopefully you'll join our network of divers in game.
