With the latest update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, now you have the ability to swim around your island. Deep sea diving introduced us to new creatures to collect. This will help you create a fully developed museum, full of wonder and beauty. It can also help you earn extra money by selling extra items.
A lot of different sea creatures are available to the players. However, catching these marine animals can be difficult. They appear at different times of the day and in different months, and can be difficult to catch. Luckily, we’ve compiled a list of all the sea creatures you can find.

There are different sea creatures and, similar to insects and fish, the sea creatures will change monthly. This will give you plenty of time to try and catch those fast moving bubbles in the sea. It also gives you more options to find scallops. You can trade one scallop a day with Pascal, a lovely otter who will trade you one scallop for one mermaid DIY. Occasionally, they will also give you elusive pearls that can help you make DIY mermaids.
Unlike fish and insects, there is no NPC who will pay double for your sea catch. Unfortunately, as of now you can only sell these sea creatures to Nook’s Cranny — there is no higher price for the creatures. However, since Animal Crossing is constantly being updated and changed, this is subject to change. One day we might get an NPC willing to pay as much for sea creatures as CJ pays for fish or Flick for bugs.
Before going swimming, you need to buy a diving suit. You can find a striped suit of different colors in Nook’s Cranny. In addition, Nook Stop will also give you the option to purchase an exclusive wetsuit using Nook Miles tickets. It doesn’t matter which version of the suit you buy, but one is necessary for diving.
It’s also worth noting that you don’t have to jump into the ocean from the rocks along the beach. Players can also dive into the ocean from the dock or simply walk in from the beach. Although it seems pointless to mention, it’s worth knowing that you can enter the water from practically anywhere on your island.
Here are the sea creatures you can find.
Northern hemisphere
Be sure to catch vampire squid and sea pineapple before the end of August, as these creatures will disappear at the end of the month. However, the newest addition to the ocean this month, the flatworm, will certainly give you a run for your money!
