How to Access
Rainbow Reef is can be traveled across once the
Flippers are unlocked by the "Finding Flippers" quest. However, diving into the Reef and reaching most of its contents requires the
Snorkel.
Because diving requires stamina, navigating the Reef also becomes much easier as the player's stamina increases. Stamina drains more slowly if when certain clothes, like the mermaid outfit, are worn.
