of it is that it's an underwater game, where you move your sub from left
to right (side view of the world), and dodge obstacles like seaweed and
marine life.
There's a distinct possibility that this was on an APF Imagination Machine.
I do remember it was a brightly-colored game, and was *not* on something
common like an Apple ][. I was into PETs, so seeing a game of this color
and visual complexity was quite stunning at the time.
Might it have been on an Intercolor computer? There were two models: a
mid-to-late-70s model and a late-70s to early-80s model.
Imagination Machines are hard to come by, but the APF M1000 video game
system can be found occasional on eBay. I've got a couple myself.
Here's a games list for the M1000:

I'm not sure how thorough this is supposed to be.
