The Blue Hole is home to various sea creatures that can harm Dave the Diver while he’s out on his underwater expeditions. One such creature that especially comes to mind is the red-colored Humboldt Squid.
That’s why we’re looking to find ways to catch the Humboldt Squid in Dave the Diver, which can used for a couple of recipes at the Bancho Sushi restaurant. But before Bancho and the restaurant’s staff members can get cooking, players must locate and capture the squid in question.
Dave the Diver players can get their hands on a Humboldt Squid using a crafted Tranquilizer Rifle, a randomly generated Tranquilizer Harpoon, or an Enhanced Hush Dart. Experimenting with one of these three weapons will cause the rank eight squid to fall asleep, giving Dave the window to activate the Salvage Drone to retrieve the creature.
Players can acquire the Salvage Drone after receiving the Tuna Party announcement, where additional items will be available via the Cobra Shop. The drone can then reclaim certain large fish on further diving adventures.
Dave will need upgraded equipment if players are interested in diving farther into the depths of the Blue Hole. Specifically, his Diving Suit will need advancements as players progress through Dave the Diver.
Furthermore, Night Diving must also be available, though this naturally occurs as players progressively complete the game’s missions. Thus, players must go through the Chapter 2 mission, “A Noisy Customer,” to unlock the Night Diving feature.
The three items mentioned above that Dave can use are all obtained in different ways. For reference, the Tranquilizer Harpoon can easily be found in one of the many supply crates. The other two items will require materials for Dave to assemble.
