Area 1
The heroes begin by dropping down into water where a school of friendly fish can be found. The fish sing their tune once the heroes enter the water. The first Skull Coin can be collected by swimming downwards through a tight space between two platforms. As the heroes progress, no more fish can be seen. There are jellyfish and a rockfish that will try to eat the heroes by attempting to inhale them. The exit can be found not too far from here.
-
The school of singing friendly fish.
-
Jellyfish are dangerous to touch.
Relic 1
Just after the heroes enter this area, the first relic can be found below, next to a vertical tight space where the first Skull Coin is found.
-
The first relic can be found below Rayman, just to the right of the tight space.
Area 2
The heroes will need to avoid the swordfish, which are hiding near the beginning of the area. The second Skull Coin is located around several spiky shells and a jellyfish. As the heroes begin to swim deeper, they will encounter more swordfish and rockfish. The first secret area can be found to the right of the first rockfish by swimming over it. The heroes will then need to swim downwards, past all the rockfish, in order to find the exit.
-
A swordfish.
-
Spikes will protrude from a spiky shell if the heroes are nearby.
-
The first secret area is hiding behind the sea foreground.
-
These rockfish will attempt to inhale the heroes and eat them.
Secret area 1
The heroes need to hurry as they defeat several kinds of enemies, as a swarm of fatal-to-the-touch flying fish are following them. Once they escape the swarm and defeat the enemies, the Electoon cage can be broken.
-
The first secret area.
-
Psychlops will need to be defeated along the way.
Area 3
The heroes will need to break the blocks which obstruct their path in order to proceed. The third Skull Coin can be retrieved by hitting two TNT crates and waiting for them to explode, then quickly collecting the coin before the solid wooden crate crushes the heroes. Afterwards, a strong current will push the heroes close to the exit, where they will need to watch out for a blowfish standing in their way.
-
The TNT crates will explode after a few seconds if the heroes hit them.
-
A blowfish blowing up.
Relic 2

The second relic can be found in this area, just below the third Skull Coin and the TNT crates.
Area 4
This area tests the swimming ability of the heroes. Another strong current takes them downwards, but this time there are several sea anemones along the way. The fourth Skull Coin can be found in the middle of two anemones. After the heroes get through the current, they will need to swim deeper while passing more rockfish and sea anemones.
-
The sea anemones will vary in length.
Area 5
As the heroes enter this area, an Electoon immediately cries out for help. The second secret area can be found by destroying the lower pillar at the start of the area. Once the Electoons have been saved, the heroes can proceed. Throughout the area, the heroes will encounter more pillars and many of this world's enemies. Some of those pillars may crush the heroes if their lower area is broken. The fifth Skull Coin of the level can be found by waiting for two large pillars being held by Darkroots to move out of the way. Then, the coin can be collected. The sixth Skull Coin can be collected by quickly destroying part of two small pillars. The exit can be found not too far from the coin.
-
The fifth area.
-
A group of jellyfish moving around in a circle.
-
Darkroots hold some pillars.
-
Several redfish.
-
Little Darktoons.
Secret area 2
All the heroes will need to do is perform a crush attack in the right spot, dropping a long distance and crushing through many blocks. Once they reach the bottom, they will also crush the Psychlops and the Electoon cage.
-
The crush attack will need to be right on target.
Relic 3

The third relic can be found in this area. It is located in the foreground, just past the jellyfish. This one is camouflaged in the reef, so it can be difficult to spot.
Area 6

The heroes will need to defeat the lone blowfish and the several redfish in order to break the Electoon cage, which will end the level. Afterwards, they will pose on the photoboard while the Magician counts the total number of Lums collected throughout the level.
