Tidewater planets have an infinite ocean of Dark Water. They are rockier than their tropical counterparts, and have unique island formations. Some possess deep underwater canyons, volcanic expanses or corrupted isles covered in strange toxic water. You'll find coral of various sorts here, all of which are handy when extracting for coral fragments.
Codex Description

Exploration and Dangers
All Tidewater planets have Static Charge weather. Without an immunity or strong resistance to being Electrified, static charges will quickly drain the health of a player. To prevent this status effect, a set of Graphene Armor or Phase Armor can be worn along with eating various food items for temporary protection.
Planets that generate with poison gas weather require poison or gas immunity in order to survive on them. Poison resistance can work too, but a resistance of at least 60% is recommenced for all types of poison gas. To counter all forms of poison gas, one can equip themselves with poison Shield Augment or a Poison EPP III. An alternate method of obtaining poison gas immunity is to wear a set of Blister Armor, Black Slime Armor, Nautilus Armor, etc. to receive poison gas immunity at all times while the full set is equipped.
Having poison immunity will also negate the effects of dark water, which makes up the oceans of this planet.
