NOTE: General questions unrelated to the update continue in the main Q&A megathread.

Welcome to the megathread for discussion on wave 1 of the New Horizons Summer Update, which is now available! This is the first of two big updates this summer. Use this thread to discuss new features, share information, and ask each other questions regarding the new update.

Update Overview

Players can now swim in the ocean (and only the ocean) and dive to find 40 new sea creatures that can be donated to the museum.
- To swim, you need to purchase a wet suit from the glass case inside Nook's for 3,000 bells. There are multiple designs that will rotate daily. You can also get a wet suit from Nook Shopping, or buy a Nook-branded suit in exchange for Miles.
- Like fish and bugs, sea creatures are available at various times in various months.
- Sea creatures come in different shadow sizes. Some stay stationary, others move at varying speed.
- CJ does not buy sea creatures.
Pascal the otter is back and brings with him Mermaid items. Once a day when you find your first scallop, Pascal will show up and give you a Mermaid DIY, Mermaid clothing, or pearls.
There is now Pirate Gulliver (Gullivarrr!), who will provide new pirate-themed items. Note that it appears that Pirate Gulliver does not replace Normal Gulliver; players are reporting still seeing Normal Gulliver.
Saharah now lets you buy multiple items at once. Huzzah!

On a sidenote: I realize this thread is late, but better late than never. We're currently working on expanding the mod team (I'm one of the newest mods, hello!) so that we can provide better moderation and better information in the future. Thanks for hanging in there.
