Nancy Drew: Ransom of the Seven Ships Hints
How do I get back up to the surface?
1 of 5: This is a slice of real life. If you dive deeply, you have to be very careful coming up again or you'll get a sometimes-fatal condition known as the bends.
2 of 5: As in real life, the key to avoiding the bends is patience.
3 of 5: That is, it's rising to the top too quickly that gives you the bends. All you need to do is slow down, and you'll be fine.
4 of 5: Keep an eye on the bar at the top of the screen just below your air bar. If it starts to move into the red, either move sideways instead of up or stop completely until the red disappears. Then you can start moving up again.
5 of 5: My experience suggests that you'll need at least 15% air in your tanks to get safely from the sea bottom to the surface again.
