Potion of Waterbreathing
The Potion of Waterbreathing lets the drinker breathe underwater for a short time. It comes in four strengths, from the Potion of Waterbreathing up to the Elixir of Waterbreathing. Apothecary merchants sell it, and it also turns up as loot. Alchemy can brew the same effect from ingredients.
