Diving
Diving is one of Lara's moves that has been in most of the Tomb Raider Games. The only game where it did not occur is the reboot Tomb Raider (2013), although Lara occasionally hits the water, diving is not part of the game play mechanics. Most times when going underwater Lara has to hurry as her air supply is limited. On some occasions however Lara uses a breathing apparatus.

Tomb Raider Classic
In Tomb Raiders I, II, III, IV and V the controls were always the same. Only on one occasion, in the Tomb Raider Chronicles level Deepsea Dive does Lara wear a Extreme Depth Suit and does not have to worry about her air supply. At least until the suit gets damaged.
