By day, Dave explores its shifting underwater ecosystem, searching for fish, artifacts, and resources.

By night, he helps run a sushi restaurant that depends on his daily catches, tying his role as diver and provider together into one ongoing routine.

Gameplay alternates between two main activities: underwater exploration and restaurant management.

During the day, players guide Dave through procedurally changing underwater zones filled with varied marine life and hazards.

Oxygen serves as the primary limit on how long each dive lasts, with air tanks functioning as both life support and a health system.

Weapons such as harpoons and firearms are used to hunt fish, while careful resource management is required to gather materials and still return safely to the surface.

Combat against aggressive sea creatures and bosses emphasizes timing and positioning.

Weapons and gear can be upgraded by investing resources found during dives, including crafting parts that enhance performance.

Oxygen depletion or sustaining too much damage ends a dive, with only part of the collected loot retained.

Exploration is further shaped by environmental hazards such as strong currents, deep-sea predators, and limited visibility.

At night, the focus shifts to running a sushi restaurant.

The fish Dave catches are prepared and served to customers, with menu planning and inventory management directly affecting profits.

About PlayStation 5

Launched in late 2020, the PlayStation 5 introduced ultra-fast SSD loading and ray tracing to mainstream console gaming. It's still early in its collecting life cycle, but the Digital Edition (no disc drive) has already created a meaningful split in the market between disc-based and digital-only PS5 owners — something collectors should keep in mind when comparing prices for the "same" game.

Gamevaro tracks Dave the diver for PlayStation 5 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Dave the diver to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS5 release dates back to 2024.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
