On the earlier versions of Grand Theft Auto, the main character could only drive, run, or walk—that’s about it. If the player accidentally ran into any water, the character immediately died or became “wasted.” The swimming ability was introduced only in the fifth installment of the game, GTA: San Andreas. In this game, players can swim and even dive to various depths of water.
Steps
Method 1 Method 1 of 3:Swimming Underwater in GTA: San Andreas for PlayStation 2
-
1 Find a body of water. Head to any beach area found on the outer edges of the San Andreas map. This is the best place to practice your character’s swimming skill. - You can also do this on swimming pools found on various places in Las Venturas or in small lakes in the wilderness of San Fierro.
-
2 Enter the water. Once you find a body of water, press the arrow keys on your PS2 controller to walk towards it (or jump). Once your character reaches a specific depth of water (at least above the waist), he will start swimming and will not drown like in the previous versions of the game. Advertisement -
3 Dive and swim underwater. While your character is swimming, press the “Circle” button on the PS2 controller and your character will dive underwater. While submerged, press the arrow buttons toward the direction you want to go and your character will swim underwater. - Once your character dives underwater, a light blue life bar will appear on the top right-hand corner of the game screen. This is your oxygen level, indicating the time you can remain submerged.
-
4 Resurface. Always check your oxygen level. If it’s getting too low, resurface by releasing the “Circle” button. - If you remain underwater after the light blue bar has been emptied out, your character will drown.

Search Add New Question- Question I press LMB, but the guy keeps on coming back up. He doesn't dive in deep. How can I make him dive deeper?
Community Answer For some reason, if the frame limiter is off, it glitches. Turn off the frame limiter for just when you need to swim, just like how most people change the settings to joy pad to lock on only during gunfights. Thanks! We're glad this was helpful.

- Though your GTA character can now swim, it can still drown if you crash your car into the water and let it sink with it. Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0
