DiveJam is the only water based game jam. It is a yearly jam that focuses on water in games.

You love the ocean and making games?  ...DiveJam

Always wanted to get into water physics for a project? ...DiveJam

Just want to make a game during 4 days and beat yourself to finish it on time? ...DiveJam!

Hosted by DiVeR__ on his Twitch and Discord channels; the idea of the jam is to have developers, new or confirmed to take 4 full days to create a new game, concept or anything they want to focus on for a few days. Great things often come out of jams like this! Do not be shy, no matter what you end up doing, your skills will improve after that!
