DAVE THE DIVER combines Blue Hole exploration and combat with managing a sushi restaurant. This reference covers reported effects for five diving gear choices and five weapon progression records. The gear passages list air capacities, depth limits, cargo capacities, salvage uses, knife damage, and ore mining. The weapon passages describe named upgrade paths, elemental options, blueprint progression, and temporary upgrades found in weapon caches. They also report app access and story prerequisites. Complete weapon trees and variant effects are not provided, and the retrieved sources do not establish staff skill or restaurant upgrade effects. The numeric gear values here are transcribed from ESTNN.
Read Air Tank for listed air capacities and Diving Suit for standard depth limits and the separately reported cold-resistant suit. These records do not establish dive durations.
The supplied guides tie Duff’s shop upgrades to reaching Chapter 2 and receiving his materials request. VG247 describes further enhancement after defeating the Giant Squid and building the translator.
Weapon App access does not unlock every enhancement immediately
VG247 says the Weapon App unlocks after the Weaponsmith Duff side quest and initially allows purchase of a rifle; it describes further enhancement after later story progress.
A source-bounded reference to reported diving gear effects and named weapon upgrade paths, including prerequisites and progression rules. Staff skills and restaurant upgrade effects are outside the retrieved evidence.

The weapon passages name some upgrade path types and prerequisites but do not provide complete weapon trees, variant effects, or exact costs and materials for each weapon.
The supplied passages and Steam metadata do not establish DLC-specific equipment details. Numeric gear values are transcribed from ESTNN and are not independently validated. No current meta claim is made.
Explanations prepared with GPT-6 Luna and checked against the linked references. These are source-reviewed guides. They do not establish independently tested optimal builds or exact upgrade budgets. How coverage works.
