Don't tell anybody, but the Scuba Soldier doesn't even know how to swim. He wound up on the bottom of the ocean floor after falling asleep on the deck of one of Zomboss' boats.

Primary weapon
His primary weapon is the Sonar Shot. Its clip can hold up to two sonar missiles that can deal 20 to 55 damage depending on the range. Upon a direct hit, the weapon also causes splash damage. If the missile hits any surface or a plant, a sonar radar will drop which reveals any plants that are hiding behind walls. Detected plants appear in green but cannot be viewed by other teammates.

Strategies
The Scuba Soldier is similar to the Tank Commander in that he has a weapon with a low ammo count, but it can do a lot of damage, as well as AOE. His primary weapon deals lower damage than the Tank Commander, but he has an extra shot before he must reload and an added effect- this effect allows him to see any plant hiding behind walls, which makes it easier to track them down and vanquish them. However, the sonar effect can only be seen by him, not his teammates. This makes Scuba Soldier a solid support character on top of being a good offensive one.
