Increasing Oxygen Capacity and Replenishing Oxygen in Dave the Diver. Maximizing Dive Time: Oxygen Upgrades and Replenishment
In Dave the Diver, your time underwater is limited by your oxygen supply, which can quickly deplete and lead to an untimely demise. This guide page will explain how to permanently increase your base oxygen capacity, how to temporarily enhance it, and methods for replenishing oxygen underwater. Additionally, we’ll explore the functionality of the Sea People Bracelet, an artifact obtained during the main story.
Increasing Base Oxygen Capacity:
In the initial phase of Chapter 1, you will unlock the “Tracking the Sea People” quest, granting access to the IDiver app on your smartphone. This app enables equipment upgrades.
One available upgrade is the Air Tank, which, when activated, permanently increases your base oxygen capacity, allowing you to spend more time underwater.
Further upgrades require payment with gold, which can be earned through restaurant sections, quest completion, and selling items at Cobra’s shop.
Cobra’s shop offers a randomized stock, and you may occasionally find temporary oxygen capacity upgrades. These upgrades, such as the one shown in the screenshot, typically increase capacity by a percentage for a cost of gold.
Temporary items purchased from Cobra’s shop only work for one day and are lost when transitioning to the next day. However, they can still provide valuable boosts, so it’s advisable to utilize them if acquired.
Replenishing Oxygen Underwater:
During underwater sections, keep an eye out for oxygen (O2) stations, like the one depicted in the screenshot. Interacting with these stations replenishes your oxygen supply.
Another method is to use Oxygen Capsules, consumable items that can be found as loot in underwater chests or purchased from Cobra’s shop.
To activate an Oxygen Capsule, press the designated key (e.g., “C” on the keyboard) while it is in the active slot. This action replenishes 50% of your oxygen tank.
It is recommended to carry a supply of Oxygen Capsules for situations when you are deep underwater with limited oxygen remaining in your tank.
Functionality of the Sea People Bracelet:
Shortly after completing the “Beyond the Rock Pile” quest in Chapter 1, you will meet Dr. Bacon again on the boat. He will give you the Sea People Bracelet charm.
Visit the Diver Box on the boat to equip and activate charms. To benefit from the passive bonuses provided by charms, place them in active slots within the Diver Box.
The Sea People Bracelet, for instance, allows you to stay underwater for a longer period. It provides a survival time without oxygen, which may be sufficient to return to the Escape Pod or reach an oxygen replenishment spot.
