So the island from the Yuletide event?
medusa boss that spawns on an island filled with stone statues 
Undead Giants/Titans
Corrupted Phoenixs
A hivemind that resides in the bottom of the sea at far reaches it could be raid boss maybe with long cooldown to respawn it will hold a unique cooldown for each player and being in a party will boost your progression to spawn for what it is capable of is
-Everytime you visit dark sea you will awoken its curiosity so it will start to spawn minions of him it could be a mutated combined fish monster,assimilated atlantean or a blob flesh that throws tentacles to move around it will start as a fish and go up to things ı mention(there could be more it just what come into mind for now) and if you die to its spawns it will learn more about what stat build you are and its spawns will gain buff dependings on it for example against mages they have a chance to absorb magic neutralize it,a shield of impenetrable skin against berserker and warriors and for oracle dmg reduction effect by absorbing attack and lending attack to hiveminds consumed souls(cooler mage ngl ı couldnt come up with anything better open to your ideas)
-Anyways after spawned creatures lets talk about its stages
1-Just awakened low tier spawns will come after you and it might have eyes that are at trees or outside of players view to observe
2-Mid tier spawns will come plus island assimilation start mini nests,hanging intestines,lots of blood etc.
3-War Phase starts accumulated nests will attack the atlanteans on the island and atlantean ships player could help the fight or choose snatch loot from atlanteans guard places this phase will have a time limit to stop player from exploiting mechanic and fight is meant to lost anyways but
if players choose to help fight they will stop atlanteans from assimilation they could be rewarded somehow by looting corpses and putting atlanteans to sleep for a set time to give player some peaceful time
if players choose to snatch loot assimilated atlanteans will begin to spawn with said buffs in the first paragraph
Lastly for this phase make it so somehow players could locate islands which islands and @puppykeeper1234 mimic creature could act like a assasin for you that comes out when you are low as a sign of hivemind acknowledging you as a threat and said mimic could travel between islands with flesh tunnels so youre not safe in any islands as long as your are low
4-Before going into the final stage add new drops from flesh creatures to make potion that shows smell? or any unique imprint they leave so u could locate main body also a potion type to weaken them
5-Final stage location of main body and last fight not make it as a mave based it could throw you blob of fleshes ,rock parts that arecompletely parriable and very high leveled atlanteans as it goes low high leveled could be used to show new lost/ancient magics,techniques for future purpose and for defeating main body it could reward us with new ritualistic magics like limited teleportation,a forcefield to use on ships and maybe with time a chance of obtaining lost/ancient magics,techniques and a set guaranteed dark sealed chests
Lastly for boss fight location it could be a makeup island that hanging by main body and sailing i3-i4 range or place main body at epicenter if we want more hardness(wow this is becomed a bit to suggestion lookalike)

Old thing I wrote for diving bells that I’m rewriting (don’t think I ever posted it on the forum?)
Diving Bells-
A device designed to carry people into the deepest parts of the sea. It can be gradually lowered into the water from your boat. This can be used to loot both diving points and Dark Sea trenches.
The player can go into the diving bell to replenish their air, and to place their sealed chests (They will be brought up as well when the player raises the bell)
The diving bell would have upgradable tiers, upgraded with the fleet system, increasing its descent speed, how deep it can go, and size.
-
Tier 1 - 500 Meters max depth - A small diving bell made of wood.
-
Tier 2 - 750 Meters max depth - A bronze diving bell.
-
Tier 3 - 1,500 Meters max depth - A iron diving bell, increases its size to now be able to fit a few players, gets lights around it.
-
Tier 4 - 2,500 Meters max depth - A steel diving bell, gives the safety line.
-
Tier 5 - 4,000 Meters max depth - A enchanted diving bell, increases its size further.
- Safety Line-
A long rope you can carry behind you, attached to your diving bell. While carrying the rope, it will snag onto physical edges you walk past (if you go down a cliff, the line is now on the cliff, and you can now use it to climb much faster). It serves as a safe way for you to find a way back to your diving bell safely and somewhat quickly. Only one player can drag the line at a time, and if you take damage, the line will drop to the ground (you can also drop it on the ground whenever you don’t want to undo your line while exploring). The line can be reset from your diving bell.
- Safety Line-
Water pressure-
A system where going extremely deep causes you to take continuous damage, increasing rapidly if you go anywhere deeper. You are immune to water pressure while you are in the diving bell.
- Maximum depth formula could be (Level * 2.5) + 300
Dive Suits-
Because of water pressure, the player needs a heavy diving suit for the deepest regions. This would greatly increase the players depth cap depending on diving suit tier. Due to the weight of the suit, the player cannot swim in it, and instead the movement system is similar to how it is on land, except all movement is heavily slowed (including casting speed), and the player falls significantly slower. The suit, however, only contains a finite amount of clean air before the user dies of CO2 poisoning. The air can be rapidly restored by reentering the diving bell. (This means water breathing jewels and potions don’t work, sorry, too op for this 
)
- Taking damage reduces your current clean air by 300(DamageTaken/TotalHealth) seconds.
- If the players health drops to 20-30% or takes +60% of their health in one hit, they will receive an effect called Suit Breach, where the suit will stop protecting you from water pressure after 10-60 seconds (depends on how much deeper you are than your maximum depth).
- Entering the diving bell repairs your suit and removes the effect.
- Dying with the effect plays a metal scrunching sound (crushed to death).
The suit would be upgradable using the fleet system as well.
- Tier 1 - Multiply max depth by 2x - 5 minutes of clean air
- Tier 2 - Multiply max depth by 4x - 10 minutes of clean air
- Tier 3 - Multiply max depth by 8x - 20 minutes of clean air - Gets a headlight made out of an Obolus’ esca, shining a white light around the player, especially in whatever direction they are facing. (Can be turned on and off)
- Tier 4 - Multiply max depth by 12x - 30 minutes of clean air
- The dive suit is given from your diving bell, meaning all other players who are using your diving bell get the same tier suit (unless they own a higher tier suit, in which case it will equip there own)
Trenches-
The trenches that the diving bell can lead into are extremely deep, caused by tectonic damage from the fracture. These trenches are made up of “shelves” surrounding the center of the trench. Each shelf holds structures and enemies. The shelves get deeper as you get closer to the center of the trench, however they also give progressively more treasure.
(Layer depths)
(for context an abyssal diving point (like in nimbus) is around 250-400 meters deep)
*(ik these depth numbers are stupid high, im just putting in the realistic numbers for now idfk how much depth AO can take performance wise)

Structures/Occurrences-
-
Brine Pools
Some shelves in deep trenches will be completely covered in a transparent greenish liquid, slightly slowing movement through it. These pools can either be extremely shallow or can even get to the point of covering your shoulders. Due to the corrosive nature of these brine pools, touching them continually gives an effect that increases all damage intake by +10-35% to any entity within (Damage increases depending on how submerged you are, effect gradually goes away after leaving a pool). -
Boneyards
Regions covered in dozens of not hundreds of dead sea life, having fallen from the rest of the ocean above. Occasionally these can spawn as massive sea monster skeletons, leading to increased activity around the corpse as wild animals use it for food/shelter. -
Shipwrecks
Destroyed boats, either having belonged to Atlanteans or human sailors. These can hold treasure and supplies for repairing your boat. -
Sunken Buildings/Cities
The result of entire islands being submerged under the Dark Sea. These give loot similar to the land version, however it has sharks and other creatures swimming through it. -
Sea Monster Lairs
Areas that are patrolled/lived in by some sea monsters, allowing players to fight them. You could also potentially lure them up with your diving bell in order to fight them on your boat. -
Cracks
Small cracks in rock walls, allowing players to squeeze into them and find shelter from enemies. Most creatures will lose interest and go away once they realize they can’t reach you. (You wouldn’t be able to damage them from here) -
Deep Sea Vents
Volcanic vents with black smog constantly coming out of them. Would give various reagents around it.
Creatures-
-
Mutated Siphonophore
Would be a long glowing worm like creature, made with many segments, each imbued with a different magic. It would swim above the player in circles, while shooting slow thin curving beams out of each segment. It would be able to target more than one player at once. The Far Reaches variant would be far larger, and shoot far more rapidly. -
Mutated Crab
A large crab with long limbs and covered in spikes. Its attacks would include slashing, slamming and grabbing the player. The Far Reaches variant would be much faster, and capable of jumping short distances to dodge attacks and charge players. -
Mutated Isopod
Giant Isopods that are covered in armor, giving them high damage resistance unless its unarmored underside is hit. It is able to bite, and also stab the player using its legs. The Far reaches variant would be capable of rapidly burrowing before bursting out of the ground around players. -
Giant Sleeper Sharks
A large black shark that moves slowly and silently above the player before charging in. It is difficult to see at a distance due to its dark color. -
Mutated Angler Fish
A large angler fish with a rapidly pulsing esca, pulling your camera towards it while it slowly approached. You would need to press on a bar similar to a whirlpool in order to escape this effect. (Not as difficult tho
) It would move in rapid bursts, having low turn speed. The Far Reaches variant would be able to disappear into shadows before reappearing elsewhere. -
Mutated Eel
A long black eel, with several bioluminescent dots along its body and an arrow-like head. Its attacks include biting, and slowly moving towards you before charging, dragging you with it in its jaws. The Far Reaches variant would be able to drag you for far longer and would have an acidic bite. -
Mutated Jellyfish
Floats in place, only slightly moving in a random direction due to sea currents. It reaches out to anything that comes near, paralyzing the grabbed target. The Far Reaches variant would give the poisoned effect as well, and would be able to grab players from much further. -
Mutated Squids
A large squid that can spawn around the sea floor in the Dark Sea. It can grab and throw players around, while also being able to crush/bite them. The Far Reaches variant would give severe bleeding on all due to sharp hook like suckers on its tentacles. -
Sunken Atlanteans
Atlanteans that have fallen down to the depths, adapting to the conditions down here. They are far more eroded compared to normal Atlanteans, and would have fewer humanoid features. They would be attracted to light (Any attacks (that aren’t dark/shadow ig) and also any lanterns/light emitting items) if it is shined at them, but would otherwise have a lower agro range. They would start at the base Atlantean strength of that range at the shallowest areas of the Trenches, and would become progressively stronger the deeper into the trench they spawned. The Far Reaches variants would have bioluminescence, and would actively roam around trenches hunting for any living thing they can find. -
???
Found only in the deepest regions of the Hadal Zone, a parasitic life form made up of the endless stream of corpses sinking to the bottom. It has the appearance of dark tendrils sprouting from the ground, wrapping around countless skeletons that dot the sea floor. It occasionally forms very large tendrils capable of attacking players by grabbing them and throwing them around. Rarely, holes in the ground/walls can form with rows of teeth, which severely damage players if they are touched (The large tendrils sometimes attempt to drag you into them.- It is heavily attracted to light, attacking towards any it sees.
- Any creature that spawns in its layers is “corrupted” and will have black tendrils throughout its body. This causes them to fight with reckless abandon, only caring about dealing as much damage as physically possible and not caring if it dies in the process (Speed and damage boosted).
- Any “normal” creature is attacked as well.

Ghost ships leading you to actual useful things, randomized dungeons, A portal event like the two waves thing that sends your ship back in time, Some sort of siren invasion on your ship in the middle of the sea.
Some island stuff came to my mind recently
-Special fires that could be used to forge weapons,armor only usable with a new blacksmith profession or locked behind
puppys mentioned nests
-Ancient mazes with traps that gets bigger as you go by further into dark sea for also they will be under the islands and mazes will change shape everytime you go in dark sea for loot make it variable rooms a potion room with catalyst and reagents includes a guaranteed golden cauldron or 5 guaranteed legendary catalyst,a special fire forge room etc.
-Chest Mimics that can become any type of chests
-Ents
You’ve had these ideas for a while, haven’t you?
Can’t blame you for sharing them, though, these sound awesome.

ruined sky islands would be neat, some could even drift and move with great rewards at the chance of being lost
i would im just not sure if i can
is it allowed if its expanding on a planned feature that is like totally undescribed so far?
if so i might do a suggestor request when i finish the dark sky one (already started compiling ideas for it )

Not sure
You could still easily just remove the diving bell part of the suggestion and include everything else however and be risk free, it is still quite a bit
