Odell Manual

Welcome to Odell Down Under Dive into the Odell Down Under™ software program, where the shimmering tropical colors often mask the minute-to-minute struggle for survival. Living as a member of the reef community is more than just a pleasure dive. When you enter Odell Down Under, you will pit all of your skills against the best the reef has to offer. As you become one of over 50 reef dwellers, you must learn to identify predators and prey, avoid poisonous snacks, and not waste all of your energy (and points) chasing down a meal. Odell Down Under offers four levels of play, with an almost endless array of games. To get your feet wet, start with Practice, where you learn about the reef inhabitants as you try out your fins. Successfully avoiding the electric ray and finding food is an acquired skill. When you are ready, Challenge rewards you with increasingly larger fish to play. For a creative turn, design your own fish with Create-A-Fish and see if you score more points than with the fish that nature has designed. Once you’ve conquered all the levels, proceed to the grand Tournament, where you test your skills against all of the fish on the reef. The ultimate goal is to become the Great White Shark and swim off to open sea in search of new prey. A note to parents. The drama of survival and the lure of the Great White Shark in Odell Down Under will keep your kids so busy enjoying themselves that they won’t even realize how much they are learning. As they work to survive, your kids will sharpen their observation skills, develop problem-solving strategies, create and test hypotheses, and learn about food chains, food webs, and natural communities. A note to kids. Australia, sharks, and swimming all day—it’s like a vacation in your own room. Do you have the brains and strength to either outswim or outsmart your prey? Sure you do!
