Noticed the following advertisement in Pprune placed by a Melbourne flying school claiming an unusual attribute for its in-house simulator.
Quote: Learn to fly in Melbourne. Experience what it's like to be a pilot with a fully immersive flight simulator."

Dictionary definition: Immersion. the act of immersing; the state of being immersed; baptism by dipping the whole person into water.
So there you are. A real ditching experience in a simulator. Bring your own Scuba diving equipment. Experience religion at no extra cost. Free baptisim. Log the time, too. CASA approved dunking simulator.

Immersion in software terms refers to the quality of the virtual environment provided by a simulator. If it makes you think you are really there then it is very immersive.

No, I think you guys have it all wrong. It’s the aviation equivalent of that guy in Adelaide who filled his ford laser up with water and put on a snorkel and went to the local drive thru bottle-o. So kind of fill the sim with water and see how you can fly wearing scuba gear type deal.
