What was the first water level in a platformer?
I think Super Mario Bros might have been the first. Might depend on what counts as a "platformer" or a "water level".

Anybody have one that predates Pitfall II: Lost Caverns (1984)?
Jungle Hunt was '82.
Huh... I see swimming through water in this video, but I don't see platforms.
A lot of water levels in Platformers have swimming instead of platforms like the entire rest of the game does
Sure, but I don't see platforms anywhere in that particular game.
Sub Hunt, Frogger, White Water
Water, sure, but none of those are platformers.
I’d call frogger a platformer, but the water aspect is only aesthetic. So disagree with OP on that but for different reasons.
Upvoted, but I'm not sure frogger counts. I haven't heard of the other two.
I'm worried that you may be a time-traveler with a gruge.
If you mean "water level" as in where for an isolated level you're swimming, but not the entire game, super Mario Bros might be it
Released in 1985, about a year and a half after Pitfall II.
Oh yeah. Who can forget that water level classic, " deleted by creator ".
That's my favourite!
The books it's based upon, was better
