About DAVE THE DIVER
DAVE THE DIVER is a "hybrid ocean adventure" in which players dive into a mysterious Blue Hole to catch fish during the day and serve fresh sushi to customers at a seaside sushi restaurant at night. Players travel between the lively — and sometimes dangerous — sea to catch fish for the restaurant. Revenue earned from running the restaurant can be used to upgrade diving gear, allowing players to dive deeper and longer, fend off threats, and catch even more rare fish. Enjoy an engaging story that unfolds through exploration of the Blue Hole, along with addictive gameplay.
