Thermal layer?

Snuffy · 02-20-08, 07:08 PM

I think it's water temperature determined.

I can find it some days just under 100 feet and other days I have to go to 155 or slightly deeper.

It's a thermal layer the difference between water temps on the surface lit by the sun and the colder water that doesn't get that warming.

The depth also depends on what latituide you are at. The farther north, the deeper (I think).

How do you know where it is in the game?

Keep diving deeper until your crew wills let you know with the audio message "Passing thermal layer".

Just make mental note of it when they say it, because nothing actually records the depth.

A bathythermograph mod would be nice, eh?
