Dave the Diver features a lot of fish. There are plenty to discover and catch, but you cannot catch all of them from the get-go, and certain fish have specific requirements. The Marinca app helps you keep track of all the fish in the game and how many you have caught. In this Dave the Diver guide, we go over how you can catch all the fish and complete all the Marinca pages.
Before diving in, it is worth mentioning that to get the best quality of fish, you should use a tranquilizer or a net gun. The Large Net Gun is one of the best weapons that you can use early on to catch a large quantity of small fish.
It is also worth mentioning that it is not possible to catch all the fish in Dave the Diver without ending the story, as some fish are linked to events while others can only be caught once you have completed the game. Furthermore, all fish do not spawn during each dive, so similar to fishing in real life, you will need to be patient and keep trying.
How To Catch All Fish In Dave The Diver
The following is a breakdown of all the fish that you need you catch according to the depths of the Blue Hole.
Note: Some fish only spawn during the day and night, and some have specific catch requirements, which we have mentioned in the tables below, the following is what the different special conditions mean:
- Day – Only spawn during the day
- Night – Spawn only at night
- Large – Large fish need to be killed, and their meat needs to be cut off. To get three stars for these kinds of fish, use a tranquilizer or steel net. You can then recover them using a drone.
- Hidden – These fish hide, and you need to get close for them to come out.
- Limestone Cave – These fish are in the Limestone Cave.
- Shipwreck – These fish can be found in the Shipwreck.
- First Glacial Cave – Fish only spawn in the first glacial cave.
- Second Glacial Cave – Fish only spawn in the second glacial cave.
- Third Glacial Cave – Fish only spawn in the third glacial cave.
- Divine Tree Control Room – Fish found in the Divine Tree Control Room.
- Event – Fish only appear during an event.
- Photo – You need not catch these fish but take a photo of them. Photo fish will be 3-star.
- Boss – These are boss fish. You might need to progress the story to find them.
Blue Hole Shallows
Catching fish in this section is pretty straightforward, but to get 3-star quality, you will need to use a tranquilizer or a net gun. Being able to see the smaller fish and targeting them is going to be a bit tricky here. Note that not all fish spawn on every dive, and you might need to dive a couple of times before you manage to catch all the fish in this section. The following are all the fish that you can find in the Blue Hole Shallows in Dave the Diver and their sizes.

Blue Hole Depths
By now, you should have useful guns and have upgraded your gear a fair bit. Now that you have a fair understanding of how the game works, you can progress into the depths.

You cannot access the depths at night. That is why we have not included a time of day section in our table. The following are all the fish that you can catch in the Blue Hole Depths in Dave the Diver.
