How do you make money in Dave the Diver?

You can make money in a variety of ways in Dave the Diver, though some will earn you more cash than others. To get cash in Dave the Diver, you can:

  • Diving for fish and ingredients for the restaurant
  • Tips at the restaurant when you provide good service
  • Sell weapons and other valuables to Cobra
  • Complete quests for characters

What you choose to do for money will depend not only on how much money the activity makes but also on how much you enjoy doing it. Some players find that simply diving for ingredients is fun for them, while others love going the extra mile and attempting to catch ultra-valuable things.

What do you use money for in Dave the Diver?

Once you earn some cash in Dave the Diver, you'll have a few ways you can use that money in the game. With a surplus of money, you'll be able to:

  • Upgrade the inside of the restaurant, attracting more patrons
  • Hire more employees for the restaurant or train existing employees
  • Buy more diving gear off of your smartphone app, iDiver
  • Get weapons for your diving trips from Duff
  • Buy essentials like ammunition and oxygen from Cobra

While it might sound like you're just making money to spend it, only to make more again, there is a purpose to your earnings. Each time you make cash and spend it on any of the above things, you become better equipped both for diving and running the sushi place. In time, you'll have more of a surplus of money each time and begin to perform better overall.

Making money is more straightforward in Dave the Diver than it is in some other games. That being said, there are ways in which you can increase that cash flow and optimize your earnings. Follow these tips to increase your income:

  • Improve your serving capabilities and time management when running the restaurant. Tips will get you small boosts in money, but this was very valuable at the beginning of our Dave the Diver gameplay.
  • Choose to serve customers before selling raw fish. Selling fish directly gets you some cash if you're in a pinch, but you'll make more by serving them through the restaurant.
  • Keep extra ingredients on hand to use the Enhance Recipe feature when making sushi. Enhancing your dish will allow you to make more money from patrons.
  • Don't neglect side quests. They may seem annoying or overwhelming when you first begin playing, but they can be a great source of cash from unexpected places.
