Navigating the depths of the Blue Hole in Dave the Diver brings an abundance of underwater treasures, fish meat, and valuable relics. However, many players quickly find their inventories overflowing with items without knowing exactly where to convert them into gold. Understanding how and where to sell your surplus gear and treasures is essential for financing crucial suit upgrades and restaurant expansions.
Unlocking Cobra's Shop for Selling Treasures
The primary location to sell unwanted trinkets and ocean treasures is Cobra's Premium Shop. This vendor becomes available early in the game after completing a few initial main story tasks for Dr. Bacon and building the drone. Cobra operates his shop on the boat during the morning and afternoon periods, offering a quick way to trade items like gold bars, pearls, and silver bowls for instant cash.
Selling Fish and Ingredients at Bancho Sushi
Aside from selling treasure to Cobra, players can also liquidate excess fish meat and cooking ingredients directly at the restaurant. By opening the Ingredients menu at Bancho Sushi, you can select specific items to sell for a small gold payout. While serving meals usually generates higher long-term profits, selling surplus low-tier ingredients provides immediate funds when cash is tight.
Trading Special Goods at the Sea People Village
As players progress deeper into the campaign, they encounter the Sea People Village, which introduces an alternative economy. Certain rare relics like jade statues or ancient artifacts can be traded to specialized merchants here for local currency. Managing these trades allows divers to secure unique materials required for high-level weapon enhancements late in the game.
Smart Inventory Management and What to Keep
Before selling everything in your inventory, it is critical to distinguish between pure vendor trash and crafting resources. Items specifically marked with descriptions mentioning trade value are safe to sell without regret. Conversely, holding onto shark teeth, copper ore, and weapon parts ensures you will not run short on materials when upgrading your diving tools.
