Dudes of the deep, indeed! Earth-Two's premier protector of the deep was Aquaman (so was Earth-One's), once a lad experimented upon his father utilizing ancient Atlantis techniques to not only help him survive the deep but manifest mighty muscles and manipulate mollusks!
On Earth-Eight, those crafty Nazi scientists developed the means to mutate a mortal man into Sea-Wolf, a hybrid being himself capable of also residing underseas while displaying a wide-range of physical attributes, including an animal side.
How, though, can we say with certainty that this hero originated on Earth-Eight? Well, writer Roy Thomas mentioned how the Young All-Stars absorbed the energy left over by heroes that ceased to exist during the 1940's, including the golden age Aquaman. It was revealed during the Infinite Crisis by Alex Luthor of Earth-Three that the potential Earth-Eight was where all remaining characters originated that had not previously appeared on former Earths known as Earth-One, Two, Four, S or X. Their adventures on that merged post-Crisis Earth would have mirrored those on Earth-Eight.
