You’ll need to remember a lot of different controls in FFXIV. There’s always some combination of buttons to accomplish a task, and you probably have not had to dive underwater in quite some time. So, here’s how to dive underwater in FFXIV.
FFXIV: How to Dive Underwater
First off, you can not dive underwater everywhere, but most significant bodies of water that do not have a floor beneath them will work. You don’t unlock the ability to dive underwater until the Stormblood expansion, where the game will teach you how the system works and then ask you to use it for some quests.
If you’ve simply forgotten how to do it, it’s simple! Enter any body of water that allows diving, and click the CTRL and Spacebar buttons if you’re on a mouse and keyboard.
If you’re on a controller, to dive, all you need to hit is the circle button on a Dualshock or the B button on an Xbox controller.
