Swimming to the surface

[Jade_Falcon]

Is there a way to get Kerbals to swim to the surface? Ive noticed in my KSP 1.7 install (modded), that my if my kerbals end up in the water (usually after bailing out of a sinking command pod), they float for a second, then they sink too.  Is there a way to swim back to the surface?

Hello @Jade_Falcon.

I don't know the answer but one thing you could try is using the kerbal's RCS.

I've also moved your thread to Gameplay Questions.

I can't reproduce that. Kerbals are always naturally buoyant. Have you tried hitting WASD?

They seem to swim in all directions with WASD, just not up. RCS doesnt seem to work underwater, they do put the pack on though.

Found the issue, the "un-released" version of Kerbalism 2.2 was causing it, rolling back to 2.1 or upgrading to 3.0 (in-testing) solves it.

I am guessing one of your mods is causing this (or possibly a toxic combination). Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling them one by one? Very tedious, but it might narrow down the problem. I had to do that once to figure out that Modular Flight Integrator causes the Woomerang dish to vanish.
