Exploring Minecraft goes beyond the endless hills, plains, caves, and numerous dungeons you encounter. You also have the chance to check out what’s below the sea, investigating the water depths of your Minecraft world. You may even encounter creatures capable of dropping a trident, a rare weapon you can enchant and use to your heart’s content. However, staying underwater is a bit of a challenge. You have several methods to keep your character exploring the depths longer by giving them gear to breathe underwater.
How To BREATHE UNDERWATER In Minecraft
Method No. 2: Turtle Shell helmet
Equipping a helmet called the Turtle Shell enables the player to breathe underwater for 10 seconds longer than the normal duration. The timer can be refreshed instantly by surfacing or breathing air. To craft a Turtle Shell, you’ll need five Scutes, a mob material that’s only dropped by baby turtles when they grow into adult turtles. Turtles are passive and can be found in beach biomes.
After collecting five Scutes, place them in the usual helmet formation on a Crafting Table to turn them into a Turtle Shell. Equipping the Turtle Shell as a helmet grants the effect instantly.

Conduit Power also gives the player a similar effect to Water Breathing (among other things).
How to craft water breathing potions
An excellent method for your character to remain underwater in Minecraft is to give them water breathing potions at a brewing station. There are three versions available to you:
The standard water breathing potion is one you drink for yourself to give you a buff, which lasts for three minutes. The standard potion requires you to gather a water bottle, pufferfish, and a nether wart. You can extend this time by using the standard potion and combining it with a Redstone, increasing the buff to last for eight minutes. You can create both of these potions at a brewing stand.
The splash and lingering water breathing potions are an area of effect item. Instead of ingesting them, your character tosses them down with the splash potion giving anyone in the radius of the potion the buff, and the lingering potion creates a small cloud where it lands that others can walk into to receive the buff. The splash potion requires a standard water breathing potion to make along with gunpowder. The linger water potion requires a splash water breathing potion and dragon’s breath, which you receive by defeating the ender dragon. Much like the standard water breathing potion, you can extend the time limit of these potions by combining them with Redstone.
Using the splash or lingering water breathing potion does destroy the glass bottle.
