Read full descriptionHide full description
Discover Scuba Word, a word search game that takes you beneath the waves. Find hidden words, explore seven ocean reef regions and build a colourful collection of marine-life stickers. Whether you want a relaxing puzzle break or a tougher challenge, there’s a dive for you. CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE Play at your own pace in Exploration dives, race your air supply in Restricted dives or tackle more challenging word searches in Deep dives. Choose Quick for five levels or Normal for ten. EXPLORE SEVEN REEF REGIONS Journey through the Coral Triangle, Great Barrier Reef, Caribbean, Red Sea, Indian Ocean, Pacific Islands and Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Complete dives and use earned gems to unlock new reefs. COLLECT MARINE LIFE Reveal wildlife as you progress, use gems to collect stickers and see your collection in its underwater habitats. Share collected stickers with the included iMessage sticker app. IMPROVE YOUR DIVE RECORD Return to favourite locations, improve your scores and aim for Bronze, Silver or Gold in Restricted dives. Quick and Normal dives keep separate best records. PLAY, EXPLORE AND PROGRESS Both dive lengths advance your journey, with Quick dives awarding fewer completion gems. Spend your gems on new reefs and stickers as you build your collection. Scuba Word is free to download with optional in-app purchases. Gem packs are available, a Travel Visa unlocks an individual reef, and a World Passport unlocks all seven reef regions. Reef and habitat artwork is AI-generated and illustrative.
