Dive 98 · Blue Edge

Reef shark along the wall

Filling the tank…

In the frame

A slender reef shark with a pale belly cruises along a steep wall of coral and sponges. Orange sea fans and round coral heads cover the wall on the right; the left half is deep blue open water.

This dive leaves all 15 tiles of a 5 × 3 board in place but rotates them by 90, 180 or 270 degrees. Tap each tile until the whole picture stands upright.

Dive plan

  1. Start with the easy part: the shark and the orange sea fans on the wall.
  2. Save for last: the open blue water. About 40% of the frame has little detail, mostly on the left side, and those pieces look alike.
  3. Each tap turns a tile a quarter clockwise; right-click or Shift+Enter turns it back.
  4. Start with tiles that contain a horizon, a body or a straight edge — their upright position is obvious.
  5. For plain tiles, follow the light: water and sky usually get brighter towards the top of the picture.
  6. Plain tiles can look right at two angles; check the direction of the light and the texture.

How deep it goes

Depth 4 of 5 — a demanding dive.

Wall dives drop off into bigger boards, where the plain parts of a picture start to slow you down.
