>If I chose [direction], then I can use '<' to surface, but I cannot use '>' to dive down.

A correction: yes, you can use '>' or '<' normally if you are on the second Z-level.

Another thing I noticed is that if you have an air tile above the water you are swimming in and try to swim into a water tile that doesn't have air above it (this example, I was swimming in an underground cavern), it blocks you with no message. I think this is intentional, but it is probably related to the above bug.

What it should do in the cave would be to give a prompt: "You are swimming into a cavern with no air pockets. Do you really want to continue?" If you are underwater already, it shouldn't care...

Did you try using the alt key plus the > or whatever?

Yeah, tried that. They both do nothing as far as I can tell.

It seems if you have no swimming skill in the most recent versions (.19 and previous) you cannot escape from water using ramps while drowning. Also, moving carefully down a ramp (alt direction to the down ramp, select direction/below) into water stuns you.

A couple versions previously (with swimming skill), I was able to swim down, but not swim back up.

Tested and confirmed for 0.40.19

As a Grand Master swimmer I could use a ramp to automatically move down to the 2nd underwater Z level and use it to go back up again. I could not dive underwater from the surface above 3 levels of water. I could also not surface from the 2nd underwater level without using the ramps.
