Geography
In Omega Ruby, at the end of the beam that extends a significant distance west and upwards from the platform, a portal appears if the player has the Clear Bell. Interacting with this portal will initiate a battle with. In Alpha Sapphire, at the control desk in the submerged control room, a portal appears if the player has the Tidal Bell. Interacting with this portal will initiate a battle with.

After defeating or capturing /, in the first (southeastern/lower left) room of the northern (right-hand) dry corridor, when the player enters the room the message "It feels as though you're being watched" will be displayed. If the player then stands in the top-left corner of the room and opens a menu such that they cannot see the overworld, upon returning the screen to display the overworld the Odd Keystone will appear, enabling the player to battle. The Odd Keystone will also appear if the player saves at that position and loads that save; in this case, this effectively means that the player cannot continue without battling Spiritomb.

History
Sea Mauville was a facility commissioned by Greater Mauville Holdings and led by Wattson to extract the natural resources of the ocean. Members of the staff included Captain Stern, Dock, Professor Cozmo's father Raizoh, and Cap'n Salty. Due to several incidents, such as the closure of New Mauville, the facility was closed. After its closure, an environmental survey discovered that the ruins had created a unique habitat for Pokémon and plants, such as s, which only grow there and in Mossdeep City. Because of this, its demolition was canceled, and the ruin was revived as a natural preserve.

But that will be little consolation to the employees working under me who will lose their livelihoods. I couldn't do a thing for them... I'm a man with no power... Protecting nature and Pokémon and the environment... It's great as an idea. It's a fine ideal to aspire to. And Wattson is a great man for dreaming of it all. But cruel reality and the organization that I must try to preserve have dashed those dreams. I couldn't do a thing for him... I'm a man with no power..." This is the last page with writing on it. Other pages have been torn out."

Letters
Five letters, a photograph, and a drawing are found in the northeastern (lower-right) room in the northern (right-hand) dry corridor:


 * First:
 * "Dear Daddy,
 * "How are you? Are you working really hard? I'm doing well. I'm doing all my homework, and I'm helping at home, too. Mommy's working hard and makes us dinner every night. Do you have to work this weekend? Are you going to come home? If you come home, take me to see the star show, OK?
 * "—Takao Cozmo
 * "P. S. I'm going to send you the picture I drew at the ."


 * Second:
 * It looked like another letter, but it's a drawing. The drawing is of a boy's face, and written next to it are the words "I love you, Daddy."


 * Third:
 * "Dear Daddy,
 * "How are you? Are you working really hard? I was sad that you didn't come last weekend. But Mommy didn't seem so sad. She went out with her friend. I finally got that telescope that I've been wanting. It was from you, wasn't it? Thanks, Daddy. I really, really wanted it. I like looking at the sky, Daddy. When I look at the stars, I wonder if you are looking at the same stars, too. Let's look at the stars together, next time you come home.
 * "—Takao Cozmo"


 * Fourth:
 * "Dear Daddy,
 * "How are you? You aren't working too hard, are you? You never come home anymore. I'm worried if you're OK. Mommy goes out with her friends a lot. It seems like fun, so I guess she's doing OK. The that you gave me evolved the other day. But I liked it better when it was a Shelgon and it looked like a Meteorite.  was kind of a letdown, so I asked a friend to trade it for his . I'm sorry, Daddy. I know it was a present, but I think Solrock is cooler. When it gets dark tonight, I'm going to look at the stars again. I'll think of you when I do.
 * "—Takao Cozmo"


 * Fifth:
 * "Dear Daddy,
 * "I was really, really happy to get to meet you the other day. It was so fun playing together again and going to see the star show, too, even if it was just the two of us. It was sad that Mommy couldn't go, and even more sad when you and Mommy fought that night. I'll study hard, just like you told me, and I'll be a good boy, so don't fight. But let me keep watching the stars, even if I have to do all my homework, too. When I grow up, I want to be a professor and study the stars.
 * "—Takao Cozmo"


 * Sixth:
 * "Dear Daddy,
 * "Thank you for writing to me. I'm doing really well here, so please don't worry about me. I hope I'll see you again someday. I dream about it all the time. I brought the telescope you bought me to our new house. Please don't work too hard, Daddy. I hope you are OK. I will always, always love the stars, and I will always, always love you.
 * "—Takao Cozmo
 * "P. S. I'll give you my Hi doll. Please take care of it for me."


 * Seventh:
 * It looked like another letter, but it's a photo. There's a little boy holding a telescope, with a woman beside him, looking bored.

Items
Due to the rotation of the camera upon stepping on the platform from the southern exterior, the player needs to press left on the D-pad or circle pad to move north, with all other cardinal directions rotated accordingly. While the camera is not oriented this way while the player is in the southern exterior, it is while in the northern exterior.

Sea Mauville cannot be accessed without, so all items located here require Surf to obtain.

Submerged control room
The control room is underwater, so all items found here necessarily require.

Storage hold
The storage hold can only be accessed from the northern exterior of the platform, so is required to access the room.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga
The Sea Mauville debuted in Omega Alpha Adventure 5. Mr. Stone had and  taken there as part of an operation to prevent a meteoroid from crashing into the planet. Mr. Stone had Mr. Briney transport machines known as the Absorbers to the Sea Mauville, where they were placed inside of the facility.

After resting for the night, Mr. Stone and began their operation. After putting Chic and on the Absorbers, Sapphire and Emerald Mega Evolved their Pokémon. Immediately afterward, Mr. Stone and Steven activated the Absorbers, which then began the process of draining the life energy of Chic and Sceptile, much to their Trainers' horror. The life energy was transferred into a machine known as the dimensional shifter, which was to be outfitted to a rocket that would be launched at the meteoroid in order to create a warp hole that would transport it to another location.

Shortly after the process was finished, the area was attacked by Zinnia and a group of Team Magma and Team Aqua Grunts in order to stop the operation. The group fought Zinnia and her allies in order to protect the shifter from being destroyed, but it and Sapphire eventually fell into the hoop of a wild, which sent them to another location. With the shifter gone, Zinnia took her attention in stealing Steven's Key Stone, but she was stopped by the arrival of, who offered up his and Emerald's Key Stones instead.

Trivia

 * The music that plays when battling and  is the same as in.
 * An old magazine found at Sea Mauville features "a young lady who looks like Lisia" on its cover. It is possible that this person is Lisia's mother, Wallace's sister.
 * Both the Prima game guide and game data contain rematch data for Mysterious Sisters Scall & Ion that cannot be accessed in regular gameplay due to (and thus the ) being required to find their room key. The battle, which would have been available after the Feather Badge like another rematch here, would have featured a level 34  and a level 33.
