Boosts

Most boosts should be purchased whenever possible to help you progress. Start by buying keys to open locked chests. The reward is always worth more than what you spent for the key used to open it. This will allow you to save up for further boosts. Following that, the Air boosts are the most important because they will allow you to dive longer. Try to have nine of them. Once again, with longer runs you will earn more than the cost of purchasing the boosts. Next, upgrade the Drill and finally Harpoon. The Defense Shield can often negate damage, which drains your air. Thus it indirectly increases your air and earning potential. The Supply Torpedoes are cost 500 coins per use. They usually will not be needed if you are stocked with attack or defense boosts. You may want to pay for an Air Torpedo occasionally if you are very deep and have to reach some locked chests. The Turbo Boost costs 750 coins and Super Boost costs 1,250 coins and allow you to start further down. If you are trying to just get large amounts of cash but not treasure, then it may be worth the purchase. The gold blocks have more money in them the further down you are.

Chests

Locked chests always contain better treasure and are guaranteed to have at least one collectible. Once you find a chest, you do not have to go near it to open it. Simply tap it from a distance. You do not have to collect the items from chests or ore that you dig from blocks by moving your character, just tap on the items.

Coins

Messages in a bottle can contain various items, including coins. You can purchase a Coin Doubler to get double the coins from loot.

Collections

Complete various collections to get bonus items as a reward. Bones that you find are parts of a collection, for example a Pliosaur skeleton. Collectibles can always found in locked chests.

Creatures and objects

Unless specified by a mission, you can ignore most of the fish and other creatures. They will not attack you unless you attack them first. Stay away from mines and blowfish ,as they can explode over a large area. However if they are near a locked chest, hit them immediately. You will save a key by exploding a locked chest.

Movement

When you tap an area, your diver will choose the shortest way to get there, even if he has to dig through a lot of dirt. Keep this in mind and always plot an easy route by swimming to the desired destination and avoid the dirt tiles.

Saving air

Tapping loot after you open a chest or removing a dirt tile consumes air. Just wait for the loot to drop and move your character over it to collect it. If a chest appears behind a wall, you can still tap it to open it. Then, tap the items to pick them up. This can even be done while you are out of air. You only use air when you move your character or drill, not when you shoot.

Ship

Ships are expensive and should not be purchased until you have progressed in the game. Start by getting the Second Wind for its air boost and keep it for awhile.

Suits

Purchase the Vintage Deep suit first. It has a low cost and increases your air by 10%, as well as your defense. After saving enough coins, purchase the Pro Yellow suit, followed by the Ultrabot, which will increase all your Perks.
