Had a Lox sink my longship, Couldn't jump from shore to splash down deep enough from shore to get the iron nails. Built a ladder up high above the nails and jumped- got the nails. Plan b would have been to build slanted roofing to hold me down as I walked to the nails.

+1 for at least some kind of on-the-spot dive button, actually happened to me not too long ago, had to work my way around with a hoe to get several stacks of ore back.

Improving the Swim and Run skills do not result in improved swimming or running speed. Improving those skills results in less stamina used when swimming or running. Improving those skills allows a viking to swim or run farther for a given amount of stamina.

I too would like to see some type of dive or underwater swim. It wouldn't have to be for a long time, just long enough to get materials. I have had to leave things that were just out of reach. The hoe worked once, had to work at it and still left coins.
