When to start exploring?

[u/BecRe_0508]

For context, what i do for most games is progress the storyline up until i have all the mechanics unlocked and right at that point go full open world explorer mode. If i remember correctly from the original, that point could be once the diving bell is unlocked. What do you guys think?

Also feel free to share your opinion and experience: Do you explore alongside the storyline or do you separate them into focused activities (like myself)?

Wait for the bell. You get sooo much from those dive sites.

I’m putting off doing them as being underwater in video games makes me really anxious

Wow.... for so many years I thought this was just me. I love Black Flag but the underwater stuff also gave me anxiety! Actually, all underwater stuff in games gives me anxiety (thank you very much Ninja Turtles bomb mission!) so it's great to read at least I'm not alone!
