I always liked Aquaria Towers in Spyro 2. Probably helps that he doesn't have a breath meter to worry about and water doesn't impede movement for him as much as it might other characters (fluid movement when charging in the water; helps make up for the lack of ability to breathe fire under water without a powerup). Certainly a welcome change after him taking damage just touching water in the first game.

Not all of them were great, but definitely they aren't depressing.

Every water level in Sonic Adventure is awesome. IMO the best 'water atmosphere' I've ever found in any game.
Look for Big the Cat's Emerald Coast and Ice Cap levels, which are entirely based on water interaction. There are also many other levels that feature water environments such as pools, lakes etc.

Honestly, has there ever been a more comfortable/cozy experience in regards to water levels?
