How to Get Scuba Gear (Diving Guide)

To explore the secrets of The Depths and find the Lost Isle, you need to breathe underwater. This guide explains how to get every tier of diving equipment.

🤿 Tiers of Diving Gear

Cost: 75,000 C$
Location: Fisherman Island (Utility Store, near Fishing Radar).

🗺️ Why do you need Scuba Gear?

Unlock “The Depths”: You must dive into the whirlpools to access this massive underground biome.
Catch “bottom feeders”: Some fish like the Phantom Ray and Abyssal King live deep down where you can’t reach from the surface.
Find Hidden Chests: Underwater caves often hide chests containing Coins and Enchant Stones.

💡 Tips

Buy the Basic Gear as soon as possible (after your first rod upgrade).
Skip the Standard Gear if you can save up 1M C$ quickly, but most players find the 75k upgrade very helpful for mid-game money farming in the Deep.
