What's Confirmed for GTA 6
Rockstar's GTA 6 material lists scuba diving among the game's side activities, confirming meaningful underwater content set around the water-heavy Leonida.
Drive-by/shooting while swimming has been described as part of GTA 6's expanded mechanics in coverage of the confirmed feature set.
How It Worked in Earlier GTA Games
Swimming arrived properly in San Andreas (CJ could swim and dive; earlier protagonists drowned in deep water). GTA V expanded underwater exploration with scuba gear, submarines, ocean wildlife and seabed collectibles.
GTA V's map hid a substantial underwater world with wrecks, hatches and collectible nuclear-waste barrels, proving Rockstar invests in below-the-surface content.
Reasonable Expectation
With a Florida-inspired coastline and the Keys, underwater exploration is likely to be expanded over GTA V, but specific depths, equipment, oxygen mechanics and underwater wildlife behaviour for GTA 6 have not been detailed.
What Was Removed
Removed invented GTA 6 oxygen timers, dive-depth limits, equipment unlocks and specific underwater rewards. Kept the confirmed scuba activity and the verifiable swimming history.
