This small addon adds couple of dialogue conditions so that water emerging breath sound no longer plays if under the effect of waterbreathing. Supports all kind of default and custom waterbreathing effects like Argonian ability, waterbreathing potions, waterbreathing enchants or anything else you can imagine, even waterbreathing effects added by other mods.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,586 endorsements and over 71k downloads—clearly a well-liked fix.
- Does exactly what it says: removes that annoying gasp when you surface with waterbreathing active.
- Tiny mod that won't bloat your load order or cause performance hits.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the emerge sound—if you were hoping for broader waterbreathing improvements, this isn't it.
- Last updated in March 2022, so it might not be tested with the latest Skyrim SE patches, though it's likely still fine.
- Potential minor conflicts with other mods that alter waterbreathing sounds or effects, so check your load order.
For Skyrim players who use waterbreathing spells or potions and find the gasping sound when surfacing immersion-breaking. It's a niche but appreciated tweak for those who notice small details. Skip if you don't care about sound effects or rarely use waterbreathing.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with your mod manager (like Vortex or MO2) and place it in your load order—no special setup needed.
- If you use other sound overhaul mods, put this mod after them to ensure it takes priority.
- Test by casting a waterbreathing spell and diving underwater, then surfacing to confirm the sound is gone.
