                                VI. Open Ocean
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Open Ocean becomes available to you after you've completed Story Mission 2
"Break Out."   Once you have access to Open Ocean, you can pull up a map of
Amity and it's surrounding areas.  The Open Ocean is divided into 3 areas,
Open Ocean: South, Open Ocean: East, and Open Ocean: West.  You will have
access to almost all of the map with one basic exception.  Certain areas are
related to specific story events, and until you have completed the Story
Mission for those areas, you will not be allowed to enter them.  However, once
you have completed a Story Mission, the area it occupies will then become
available for you to re-enter, and, gain access to additional Side Challenges.
In addition to allowing you to travel between Story Mission areas, Side
Challenges, and Non-story related areas; you can also search for the the 50
hidden treasure chests, explore, or you can go on a frenzy and attack, kill,
and terrorize the waters of Amity.

All destruction you cause will increase your point total, thus making it easier
to get your Ability Upgrades.  There will be a cost for your dangerous ways
however, if you cause enough damage, local authorities will respond in force to
protect the water.  The type of response is based upon your level in the Story
Missions.  I have figured out the response types as follows:

  If you've completed Story Missions 1-3 - armed men on small inflatable rafts.
                      Story Mission 4    - small Police boats.
                      Story Mission 5    - Coast Guard in heavy rafts.
                      Story Mission 6-up - Coast Guard Cutter and Helicopters.

To save your progress in the Open Ocean, just head for the "Save Anchor" that
is located in the area of the ocean that you occupy.  There are three anchors,
one in each section of the ocean.
