A Video Game Setting consisting of an underwater tunnel with glass walls. Expect to see all sorts of fish and aquatic life on the other side of the glass. Actual sharks are common, but not required. Truth in Television, as underwater tunnels are very popular features in aquariums worldwide, and more often than not are actually stocked with a few reef sharks as part of the ecosystem in the tank the tunnel runs through. These are especially common in Racing Games as a Justified Under the Sea race course. Compare Under the Sea and Down the Drain. |

It makes an appearance in Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny and Onimusha 3: Demon Siege. In the former, if you stand still near the glass and absorb souls for a while, a large shark will appear and chomp a school of smaller fish, giving you yellow souls. | |

Wild ARMs 4: The Cerulean Tunnel dungeon is a tunnel that crosses a large river, and has multiple sections with a glass ceiling. Arnaud even lampshades how ineffective it must be compared to, say, just building a bridge. The tunnel is full of marine life-themed monsters and has a Sea Monster for a boss. | |

In Super Metroid, Brinstar has a section where it crosses over Maridia, where a short glass tube separates them. A well placed Power Bomb shatters the glass, allowing more free travel between the two. As a Call-Forward, Metroid: Zero Mission's expanded endgame features a similar (albeit not underwater) glass tube connecting the Space Pirate Mothership and the ruins of the temple in Chozodia, which can also be shattered with a Power Bomb after you've reacquired your power suit from the temple to open a way back to the rest of Zebes. | |

Sonic Colors: In the Wii version, Sonic goes through such a tunnel at the very beginning of Aquarium Park Act 1. This is because Aquarium Park is set underneath a series of massive interconnected undersea geodesic domes. Sonic arrived from the surface of the water. The DS version does not have such a thing, immediately starting Sonic underneath the domes. | |

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy: The Lost Precursor City is a highly-advanced underwater facility accessed via an evelator found in Rock Village (which itself is found in a coast), and whose glass windows let one see the sea the place is installed several meters under. Despite being overrun by monsters and no longer maintained by its original builders, its machinery remains fully functional, though it has many dangerous obstacles like a big pool of dark Eco and electrified water. It also has timed puzzles that require working around difficult platforming. | |

Animorphs 15: The team ends up in one of these while trying to acquire sharks for their next mission. Ax assumes it's just an enormous screen and is surprised to learn that they're actually surrounded by sharks with only "poorly-made human plastic" protecting them. When they get caught by a Controller, Marco asks Ax "Just how poorly made is human plastic?" and Ax smashes the glass with his tail-blade. | |
