Description
A.R.T. is planting mines in the ocean. The player must deactivate the bomb by finding the correct answer to a problem at the top of the screen, which may be either an English language or geography question. Answers will appear in bubbles that float upwards. The player must move their pod with the arrow keys, and press the enter key when the pod is over the correct answer to obtain it. Then the answer must be brought to the mine. Five correct answers are required to deactivate one mine. The player must also avoid obstacles, such as A.R.T.'s shark bots.

Digital manual description
ART’s minions have placed explosive and poisonous mines in the oceans of the world. You must use the submarine pod to diffuse the mines and save the various sea habitats.

Pod Navigation: Right and left arrow keys move the pod to the right and left. Up and down arrow keys move the pod up or down. Enter key selects and releases an answer. Tab key activates a pod gadget.


 * Each mine will have a question or category display.
 * Answer will be in bubbles and will float up from the bottom of the screen.
 * Steer the pod to touch the correct bubble and press Enter.
 * Once you have the bubble, place it at the stem protruding from the bottom of the mine. Press Enter to release the bubble.
 * Don't let the shark bots touch your pod. If they do, your pod will lose strength. If you lose too much pod strength, you'll have to return to EarthQuest
