Dave the Diver Save Editor
Explore, repair and customize your days at the Blue Hole: gold, Bei and Artisan’s Flames, the sushi bar’s ingredients, your materials, dish levels, staff, Cooksta rank, the fish collection, gear, weapons, farms and decor.
Offline single-player only. This editor is for your own single-player saves. It runs entirely in your browser: the files never leave your computer.
What you can do
Money
Set the gold in your wallet, the Sea People’s Bei and the Artisan’s Flames used to upgrade dishes.
Ingredients
Go through the sushi bar’s fridge with the game’s own names and pictures: change how much of each fish, seafood, produce and seasoning you have, here and at the branch, or add ones you haven’t caught yet.
Items
See the materials, ores and key items Dave carries, change how many of each, add materials and take out what you don’t need.
Dishes
Raise any sushi or menu dish you know to the level you want, one at a time or all at once; the taste the menu shows follows the level, as in the game.
Staff
Set the level of everyone working at Bancho Sushi.
Fish collection
Fill in Marinca: add the fish you haven’t caught yet and set the stars on every card, page by page.
Cooksta
Raise the sushi bar’s Cooksta rank, from Coal to Diamond, or set its followers.
Diving gear
Pick the air tank, diving suit, cargo box, harpoon gun, dive knife, salvage drone and crab trap Dave uses; the upgrades below it count as bought.
Weapons
Make any gun in Duff’s weapon tree, from the base guns to their last upgrades.
Farms
Stock the farm’s seeds and supplies, make planted crops ready to pick, set soil health, open and expand the fish farm tanks, change how many fish live in them, add roe, and research the Sea People’s seeds.
Staff hiring
Hire anyone from the recruitment board and see which skills each staff member learns at each level.
Decor
Add sushi bar interior pieces, boat skins, phone charms and Godzilla figures, and choose the ones in use.
Where are my saves?
- Windows
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\nexon\DAVE THE DIVER\SteamSData\<Steam ID>\- macOS
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/<number>/1868140/remote/
Each slot has two files with its number: GameSave_00_GD.sav holds the game, GameSave_00_PZ.sav the photo album. Open both, or only the GD file; the editor changes only the GD file. The numbered folder is your Steam ID. Close the game before you copy or replace files.
With Steam Cloud on, Steam may put back its own copy of the save. Replace the file while Steam is closed, or turn Steam Cloud off for Dave the Diver first. On a Mac the game keeps its saves in the Steam Cloud folder itself.
Copy both files of the slot somewhere safe before editing. The editor doesn’t keep backups.
Questions
Where does Dave the Diver keep its saves?
On Windows in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\nexon\DAVE THE DIVER\SteamSData\<your Steam ID>. On a Mac the Steam version saves straight into its Steam Cloud folder, ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/<number>/1868140/remote.
Which files do I open?
GameSave_00_GD.sav for the first slot (01 and 02 for the others), with GameSave_00_PZ.sav next to it if you like. The GD file holds the game; the PZ file is the photo album and is never changed.
Is my save uploaded anywhere?
No. The files are read and written in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
How do I put the edited save back?
Download it, then copy the downloaded GameSave_NN_GD.sav over the one in the save folder, with the game closed. If Steam Cloud is on, do it while Steam is closed too.
Which versions are supported?
Saves from the current Dave the Diver (1.0.6, with or without the DLCs). Back up your save first: edits are at your own risk.
