The underwater aspect of Ark is, sadly (as some suggestions about water DLC will tell you), still underdeveloped. There is just no incentive to spend time in the water, unless you've done everything else on land or something. There is no resource specific to the water (while algae/kelp is everywhere, it's not harvestable), pearls can now be found in other places such as beaver dams, and a lot of maps lack incentives to live in the water even if you can afford it (I personally don't have tek). Why would you go there ? Well, maybe because we could make it slightly easier to live underwater, with the help of an existing creature getting a bit of a TLC.
Introducing : THE TAMEABLE LEEDSICHTHYS.
It's the big whale you've always known, except now you can tame it, drive it, and build a base inside its mouth. Yeah you read that right. The space in there is about as big as a raft, essentially, except it can go underwater... making effectively the leeds the very first mobile & stealth underwater base option. Having a leeds base would be an incentive to stay in the water and interact more with the creatures around.
It could even have a fun option about the inside of its mouth : that if you're on the surface and open its mouth, air comes in (and you can breath in the leeds without a scuba tank), but if your underwater and open its mouth, water comes in (and you need to wear your scuba gear in the base)... Transforming the leeds into a great way to transport land or water dinos (never both at the same time of course) from one place to the other.
And I really want to see how PvP players will have fun killing other tribes' leeds and trying to get their loot while surrounded by sharks or jellies or whatever
