Quick Links
Dave the Diveroffers players the unique opportunity to experience and balance two unexpected but perhaps equally frightening roles: underwater exploration and customer service. The former is performed by making daily dives to capture fish and other sea creatures, retrievelost treasures, and uncover mysteries throughout the game’s main story. The latter involves using said discoveries to craft an enticing menu for the local sushi bar while also helping with its operation.
As expected, players will spend the majority of their time inDave the Diverunderwater, exploring the Blue Hole during the daytime during the morning or afternoon dives. Once they have completed their dives, they canhead back to Bancho’s restaurantand use their haul to prepare a delicious menu for its customers.
This cycle continues throughout the game’s first chapter as players become accustomed to the gameplay and comfortable in Dave’s daily routine, while also undertaking quests to advance its story. This routine is changed up in the second chapter ofDave the Diver, when players unlock the ability to go fishing at night.
How to Unlock Night Fishing
Players can unlock night fishing on the first evening after starting Chapter 2 inDave the Diver. The player will receive a phonecall from Bancho, who exclaims that a “noisy customer” has arrived at the sushi bar and is raising a fuss. Once Davearrives at the restaurant, he encounters a character named Otto, who is reminiscing about a favorite childhood dish, Moray Eel Curry.
Otto explains that he would love to experience this culinary delight once more and offers the side mission, “A Noisy Customer.” Accepting this side mission unlocks night fishing, asthe Moral Eel can be found only at night. Once the player has unlocked night fishing, they can choose to go on a dive at night instead of working at the restaurant.
About Night Catchable Fish
In addition to the Moray Eel, there are numerous other fish and sea creatures that players can encounter only while night fishing. An assortment of fish available during the day will also make an appearance, but players will occasionally need to skip their sushi bar shift to head underwater to get their hands on some rare delicacies.
Star Ratings
A fish’s rarity is not to be confused with its star rating in the Marinca collection list, as this rating pertains solely to the condition of the fish when it was caught. A fish’s condition is generally dependent on thetool or weapon usedto capture the fish. Therefore, players looking to fill their Marinca collection with all three-star cards will want toemploy specific methodswhen obtaining each fish. Thankfully, the Marinca list will update to always show the highest star rating card for each entry. Star ratings inDave the Diverare assigned with the following criteria:
