Description:	I had two ideas in mind when I made this... First, I wanted to build a level around a concept. After playing Avatar's DM wads, I decided this was essential to it's success. Second of all, I wanted to try and make a level where you can walk onto water end end up underwater. And so it is. The underwater areas look really cool, and if you step off any surface into water, you'll end up there. Like wise, walk towards the shore and you'll end up on dry land.

lupinx-Kassman	Brian Hess' DM maps are all quite creative. The gimmick this time around is deep water, and for 95' it is executed pretty well.	x
Anonymous	Cool '95 level. Reminds me of the underwater effect from Duke Nukem, except without the swimming of course. 4/5	x
Anonymous	One of the first wads I ever played, and a surprising one at that. Back then I was aware of the lack of room-over-room, but this wad demonstrates that there are always ways around the limitations of Doom. It's a neat little map, worth checking out. -EarthQuake ****	x
Anonymous	It was a great idea at the time. Altough it can now be easily done with source ports.	x
Anonymous	Wierdest death sound ever.	x
Anonymous	A very nice little level. The room-above-room underwater effect is nice and inventive for the time. (fraggle)	x
Anonymous	the underwatter idea was good but now adays with ports like zdoom the idea has become obsoleet 3/5	x

* Important Notes *

This level is intended for Deathmatch 1.0, 2 to 4 player.  After 
many dissapointing experiences, I have yet to find a good level for 2.0.
You can play it 2.0 but I've not tested it and I can't guarentee any 
results. :)  Anyway, if this is well received, look for more of mah levels.
