Swimming, Diving, Holding Breath?

[Aluvial]

Where can I find good rules that cover these actions in detail?

The DMG basically stinks... I need something that will take into effect how hard it is to dive 35 deep...

It seems to me at 1/2 your movement rate and being able to hold your breath for twice your Constitution in rounds, you can swim a long, long way underwater...

I used to dive for high-school and surfed, and I couldn't hold my breath that long and actively function under water....

Did I miss the rule or is there a d20 that covers this?

If I'm not mistaken, the WOTC product Book of Challenges goes into underwater rules in considerable detail.

Normally I can be 3mins doing nothing in water keeping my breath. this would be 15con. A normal human is 10 so 2mins, sure I do nothing so that's why I can keep up to 3 mins...

(if someone do nothign in water and is not panicked I usually give 1.5 normal than if the guy is hard at work and panicked it will .5 normal.)

Well my 2 cents

Are there any others... I also saw in a similar discussion the Web Enhancement for the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil on the Wizards site.

Are there any d20 books that cover these rules?
