Dives Gone By
You are stranded on an island. Grand. There is also nothing of use on this island. Fantastic.
Escape off this island by exploring the underwater world and collecting resources to aid in your journey. Take deeper and deeper trips into the unknown but always return to your favourite tiny island in the middle of the ocean.
But beware: Do. Not. Drown.

Install the APK through your favorite file manager, may require installing from untrusted sources. If your phone does not allow this, consider getting a better phone.
