The screensaver takes you to the mysterious underwater world. We were not pleased with the graphics in our first tests but trying the screensaver with a more powerful video card impressed us deeply. The realism of stones, fish, corals, animation, and lighting was amazing. The soundtrack contributes to the impression of being far away from ordinary life. DiveVisions offers a good amount of options. You can customize graphics, select creatures, and toggle the sound. Unfortunately, the trial version puts a large Demo notice directly in the screen center. If you want to drown your problems in a deep sea, try DiveVisions.

REalistic and colorful. Very nice!
PCGeek2BeAugust 23, 2012
Pros
REalistic colorful, stunning, it will make you feel as if you are on a scuba dive. Great sound effects of regulator breathing, bubbles and whale song. You do get to see various marine life and lots of different types of fish. You'll see a moray eel, dolphins, humpback whale, turtle and another scuba diver.
Cons
The full paid for version isn't much more for the price. There are only two sharks and one humpback whale, not lots of sharks. There is only one shipwreck, which you don't explore.
Summary
I tried the demo and really liked it. As a result, I spent the $12.95 to get the full version. There really isn't much difference between the two to warrant paying for it. You get rid of the ad to buy it when you buy it. The free Demo version is just as good. Hindsight is 20/20: had I known this beforehand, I wouldn't have purchased it. You live and learn, right? Fortunately, it wasn't too expensive and it is a realistic 3D screensaver. If you a scuba diver, you'll appreciate this screensaver for the realism. If you dive, you'll see and experience what it is like, without, of course, the wet suit and equipment, and without getting wet.
Very good product

Is truly 3-D. The fish come swimming directly at you at times. You can add or subtract the numerous types of fish that are available. It far better than any other screen saver technology I have seen.
