This is the next biome that you should start exploring &#8211; but because of the depth of the seabed and the relative distance from your Lifepod, this biome will present some new challenges. Even with the help of the Seaglide, swimming down to around 100m takes some time and O2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img width=\"1200\" height=\"746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.craftableworlds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/100m-1200x746.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.craftableworlds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/100m-1200x746.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.craftableworlds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/100m-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.craftableworlds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/100m-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.craftableworlds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/100m-1536x955.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.craftableworlds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/100m-2048x1274.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.craftableworlds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/100m-1980x1231.jpg 1980w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"><\/noscript><img width=\"1200\" height=\"746\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201200%20746%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt class=\"wp-image-368 lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201200%20746%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.craftableworlds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/100m-1200x746.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.craftableworlds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/100m-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.craftableworlds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/100m-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.craftableworlds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/100m-1536x955.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.craftableworlds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/100m-2048x1274.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.craftableworlds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/100m-1980x1231.jpg 1980w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.craftableworlds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/100m-1200x746.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, once you dive below 100m, you start consuming O2 more rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the next chapter we&#8217;ll explore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.craftableworlds.com\/index.php\/2020\/07\/27\/subnautica-how-to-use-the-floating-air-pump-and-pipes-to-breathe-underwater\/\">some options for safely exploring this biome<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Up to this point in the tutorial, everything that&#8217;s been covered can be accomplished within a 300 meter radius of your Lifepod.
