As I think a huge reason my friends and I play this game, is because we like to act like we are special forces, like Fromandkorpset (Danish version of the Navy Seals), and swim and assassinate/take high priority areas behind enemy lines, and I think it would be AMAZING if we could scuba dive instead of just swimming, by scuba diving I mean your character just goes underwater a few feet but you can still see him (shaded), but the enemy can't unless they are scuba-diving too! Also, certain guns can shoot underwater (yes, this is realistic), like M16's, Famas F1s, and any modern gun, other than the AK47. And they will swim/scuba dive in an animation looking like a gun pointing the direction they are going, a scuba tank on there back, and there fins moving to push them forward!

Please, please, please, please, please, please, please consider this! This sounds amazing!! (:
Yes I know there are boats but a more stealthier approach would be better.

Also, you can still swim, we just need a button so we can scuba dive!

Scubadiving sounds like a cool enough suggestion in itself. But it would have pretty limited use as only 3 of the maps so far have enough water for it to make sense (Aeolian Coast, Sainte-Anne and Wake (Insular Complex doesn't count for obvious reasons)).
And on those maps it's pretty easy to sneak in from the water already even without this (like in the villa and east farm bases on Aeolian Coast).

And for the record, you can't fire a M16 effectively underwater, or any other gun not made specially for the purpose for that matter.
True, you can shoot many of them underwater, but in most cases the bullet would not be effective past 3-5m at most, and it might severely damage the gun.
Better stick to your knife in water combat.

Thank you so much! And OMG that would be amazing. Just a knife, assassinating people from below..

dear god I hope the devs add this in!

Haha. A diving feature (like in BF4) or a real scuba feature like in ARMA 3 would be cool to have. Not sure it would be high on anyone's priority list but yea, it'd be fun.
