If they are SWIMMING you can ride them. Use this to get black pearls from trilobites and lobsters but watch out because everything that aggro on humans will aggro on it so watch out Also if riding on mobile you have infinite air. This dude is how I obtained enough black pearls to tame that tuso that got stuck in rocks

Tame it, NOW, getting pearls and oil will be no problem because you ride it, and get air. Go explore!

This guy is super for underwater tours u can take oxygen from him and ride on him

Good starter for water exploration

Even though it has oxygen this Dino does not use it itself and cannot drown - though you are another matter entirely.

Level oxygen, movement speed and health, tame a higher level so you don't have to pump most of your levels into health, at first it may look like you can't ride it because it doesn't have the option or of the water, but once you get in the water, you can suck oxygen out of it so if your playing on primitive plus or don't have scuba yet it's very good

They’re great for getting artifacts underwater because of their speed

NO SADDLE REQUIRED. Can only ride while in water, and you WILL fall off even in shallow water. You must mount in water, not on the shore or in a river. --AK

I just tamed one she is epic if your a mobile player like me then get one

Don’t worry there rideable for mobile players as well but you can only ride them underwater

You can only mount these guys when they're swimming!

They don't have the best health, but amazing speed underwater and you can even get oxygen from them. They're somewhat rarer on ARK Mobile, but found in swamps being attacked by 12 local Kapros.

They're skittish like Ovi's and Archy's, but easy to get down and can be carried by Argys or larger, tamed or not.

This is very useful for underwater adventures, upgrade its oxygen and health(health for it to not die immediately) and you can have a lot of oxygen underwater, in sacrifice for some of its

Always wondered what they were used for until I tamed one. Really good for black pearls

These guys are usually slept on but they are good even if you got scuba gear they can out swim almost anything in the ocean

An offer overlooked tame. While yes, there are better tames, if you’re an earlygame or begennier, this is a pretty good dino to travel into the sea. It can also get black pearls from trilobites really well. Oh and did I mention you can take oxygen from them if you’re drowning? Again, very overlooked and underrated tame.

When i tame a high level diplocaulus i am happy i ride it at the water and i think i must give all my items to my basilosaurus then i shock it is super duper fast

warning: diplocaulus if you use diplocaulus oxygen he/she will give you oxygen but it has limit your using diplocaulus oxygen that’s not infinite oxygen most of people submit infinite oxygen

They one shot trilobites and get black pearls, they are super fast underwater. You can find them in swamps. You can get oxygen from them and use their oxygen while you are riding them underwater.

When going underwater with it, bring an escort such as a megalodon

Bring them to the trilobite river on aberration. Slaughter all the trilobites, you wont have to worry about meat, chitin, oil, silica, pearls, or black pearls

LIVING SUBMARINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody expects you to be built at the bottom of the ocean with 5 of these, very good hidden base
