Throughout your time playing this indie game, you’ll slowly unlock Charms. We’ll go over all the Charms you can unlock and their abilities in Dave the Diver.
These items, if worn, will give you helpful abilities while diving. You can only wear two at a time, so you’ll have to choose which ones to prioritize.
Dave the Diver: Charms guide
It won’t take long until you receive your first Charm. You can wear up to two at once, so once you start collecting them, deciding which one is best may be difficult. There are really only two ways to get Charms in Dave the Diver.
The first way is by completing small side quests that will pop up randomly throughout your playthrough. For example, how I found the Octopus Bracelet was just by going for a normal dive and stumbling upon a quest.
The only other way you can get Charms is by completing the Ecology Research tasks. There’s an Ecowatcher app on Dave’s phone that allows you to collect fish and other items to send in for research. Upon each grouping, you’ll receive a certain amount of points. Once you reach a milestone of points, you get a Charm.
