Underwater Caves With Air

so i thought if they should add underwater caves with air surfaces with in them wouldn't that be a cool idea and you can explore the cave and hit some part where u need to go back underwater to get threw and explore more? <img scr="http://blogs.sierraclub.org/.a/6a00d83451b96069e2017c3161df26970b-800wi"&gt;

    Yes, they are quite a natural occurrence in any case...

    The natural moonpools. And can be found in real at certain places in the world. Love the idea.

    Maybe even with an underwater river with currents, a little more like the one inside the magnetite mountain, though far deeper below and with some plants only to be found in those caves? Or simply hundreds of those underwater moonpool grottos to find somewhere in the deep, like hunting for easter eggs.

    And best found using a scanner as it's easy to miss the entrances. Or because you follow an tunnel/river (currents?) leading you there.

    idea good, but don't forget about that fact that all that planet originally - subwater world, and caves with air was originally formed in air worlds and after some reason was sunked. Here - Islands floating up on the water surface. islands which don't floating up all time of its existance was under water - how air can access there?

    We don't really know the geological history of the planet we're on. A floater island could have sunk, trapping air in it... also, the game has plants that generate air bubbles - it's possible a purple brain coral could be beneath the opening to such a "natural moonpool" and then a large bubble of air would collect in it, forcing the water out. There's plenty of ways to explain it away, and it would be pretty cool to find a pocket of air 500m below the surface. Awesome spot to build a base too.

    Interesting point of view... I'm gladly agree with your opinion... then those caves must be! ))
    .. but one remark: If floating island collect bubbles too much - it's doesn't sunk anymore. and those pink substance can hold many smaller subwater floating islands at status of "neutral buoyancy" - no up, no down - stasis.

    Nice but in such air caverns should be much of CO2. Also Oxygen(or actually O2) should "regenerate" slowly
    I hate that I can't explore caves without seamoth and seamoth can't pass come corridors.

    Why do u think that Oxigen react to CO2? Or we have a burning chemical reaction here?

    Bioluminescent cave plants could supply the oxygen.

    Logical, helpful, this has all the callmarks of a good idea.
    This is that thing that needs to happen.

    No.
    Air ? I doubt that a cavern underwater would have a bubble of air for like millions of year.

    I would say "natural gas" and that shit will kill you if you breath it for too long.

    Its logical that there would be pockets of air in caverns but you have no idea if that pocket of air is really air or not.

    SkullCross right - we need a gas analizator to use first and only after try to breath. Or we can start to talk there with green humanoids :p

    Well, air is air. What's variable it whether it's oxygen. Methane, anyone?

    Nonetheless, you're saying:

    Considering that this is a thing IRL, I'm not sure why an alien planet in a game couldn't have it.
    Heck, Loch Ness is full of little air pockets.

    also think of the air producing brain coral. if one of those were to grow in a cave the air would rise to the top and without a way out stay there.
