Now, I am gonna come full on transparent and say: Walking simulators (or swimming simulators) are not particularly entertaining for me, even if they are funded by philanthropists that believe the ocean is one of the key aspects of very life existing on earth (which at this point seems useless to talk about considering Trump signed an accord to ignore all of that and double time rape the planet).
But the only way I could ever see myself pitching this game to someone else is: Do you like holding the analog stick in a forward direction for more 2 minutes, are you a fan of going from Point A to point B to scan a few sperm whales and go to the other waypoint and scan some more, like some kind of underwater detective? Do you want it to be very slow swimming that is not inherently fun? Now maybe I'm expecting every game movement to be in itself fun, but I remember back in the good old days where the key component of a game is that it felt good to move around, a 3D platformer this game is not.
Also if this game wishes to be educational, it has taught me anything I did not already know, unless you mean fun facts about the little aquatic animals you scan (in this case the fun facts are just basic facts), I am not entirely sure also if scuba divers have this type of technology today too! So it is a bit sci-fi.
