Aqua Affinity
Removes the underwater mining speed penalty, allowing the wearer to mine blocks at the same speed underwater as on land. There is only one level; there is no benefit to having multiple copies.

Best uses
Always put this on your helmet alongside Respiration when doing any underwater work — ocean monuments, underwater bases, or coral reef building. The single level fully negates the 5× underwater mining slowdown.
