OH dang! whoops, I've watched the tutorial so many time can't believe I got that wrong. Thanks for clearing that up for me. So diving isn't quicker? Just hit a 3.00.23 (so close to breaking 3 mins).

Still new to running this game but starting to get there now. However, I'm sure I'm losing time on button 8 (Yellow platform underwater you dive to), in the Ace tutorial he says to super jump off it. But no matter what I try I seem to get boosted way above the platform whenever I jump it. I think I might be jumping while still in the water and then it doubles up? Any tips?

Glad it's not just me having issues!! thanks for the tips
