The short submarine section in the original Red Faction was pretty great, though simple. All the vehicles in that game made you feel unstoppable, and shooting the enemy subs with torpedoes and watching their wreckage float apart was pretty satisfying. You could also blast holes in the rock structures with that geomod system, which was amazing at the time.

I loved the water areas in soul reaver

I really liked the water temple in Twilight Princess, and by that I mean I beat it with no issues which is a good thing regarding water temples in Zelda.

Hydrocity in S3&K is great
Aquatic Ruin's music is great so I guess that stage is fine too.

In spirit with the thread: HydroCity Zone was dope!

This level grew on me, great music and atmosphere, definitely dope!

Looks sweet. What is it?

That would be Aqua Kitty: Milk Mine Defender.

Another vote for Hydrocity in Sonic 3 from me. Its a fun level.

Of the Mega Drive Sonic games I think only Labyrinth Zone is a particularly bad one, though I can get through it no problem these days. Its made worse by there being 4 whole acts like that because of Scrap Brain 3. Water levels were thankfully toned done a lot after that. Aquatic Ruin you can stay above water most of the time and other then that you only have the excellent Hydrocity and a bunch of small inoffensive watery sections in mostly none water zones.
