Publishing house and retailer Project Blue Ocean Phoenix has just announced the launch of it new website, Dive-Games.Com, and the two new PC-based games in its DIVER series: Deep Water Adventures and CheckDive.

This is the first full launch of these games to the English-speaking world, and the precursors of three more games in the series, to be released in 2008/2009 for, not only the PC platform, but also XBOX360 and PS3. 

“We are excited to have the opportunity to fill a gap in the AAA games offerings, which have lacked a realistic entry from the weightless-world of Scuba Diving,” says the game developer, Biart Ltd.  “In our games, we recreate the beauty of the underwater world, giving the player a sense of the truly free and weightless feeling while gliding through the serene reefs capes. At the same time, we include experiences with some of the technologies of Scuba Diving, such as dive propulsion vehicles, underwater photographic equipment, spear guns, and more.” 

The Deep Ocean is an alien world, with the infinite vastness of outer space. The earth’s waters are alive with creatures of all sizes, other-worldly geologic features, and indescribable shipwrecks, all awaiting your discovery. There has been nothing to prepare you for the mind-altering experience which awaits you, as you fly through this underwater weightless world … UNTIL NOW! 

Blue Ocean Phoenix introduces a new generation of underwater gaming adventures which will bring a heightened level of thrill and drama, excitement and adrenalin-pumping fear to both the most avid of scuba diving hobbyists and novices, alike.
