Forgot the name of an underwater game

Was playing Scuba Dive tonight and remembered there was another game that was also underwater but it had a gameplay similar to Jetpac, and the diver was always connected to the boat. I think there were also mines you had to avoid?
As we get older we'll probably get more and more of these "looking for a game" threads...

I believe it's Glug Glug:

Great game by the way. With playability at the same level as Ultimate classics (Pssst, Cookie,Jetpac).

It's Glug Glug indeed, but the other game seems interesting and will try it. Thank you!
I tried the archive search, but couldn't figure out a way to search for this specific theme.

Yep, it's not possible.
It would probably require a systems of tags attached to each game. Think of terms like "underwater","spaceman","knight","airplane" and so on. No such data are currently in the database.

Looks fun! It is probably inspired in this arcade game which I thought of remaking in Basic.

Good spot! I suppose most of us have never heard about it.
I also believe it should be noted in the database and if you don't mind, will report it in a proper thread.

ZXDB currently contains the following theme tags (inherited from Martijn's WoS):
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons
Ancient Mythology
Christmas Theme
Computer Hacking
Fighting Fantasy
Historical Warfare
Martial Arts
Medieval Legends
Nursery Rhyme
Parody
Religious Gospel
I will gladly add more themes to the database, as long as someone can provide a full list of title IDs for each new theme. If anyone wants to organize this kind of list for any specific theme, I suggest opening a new thread in this forum, and I'm sure many users will help.
