DAVE THE DIVER Guide to a Full 3 Star Marinca

The requirement of three-star fish is that you do not kill or harpoon them.

Fish will have different ranks, depending on the rank of fish you will need special equipment to get them as a three star.
The following list is a quick summary of the methods available to catch the fish at the highest star rating. To begin your completion of the Marinca App there will be a few requirements.

• Unlocked Bug Net (Maki Restaurant Event)
• Unlocked Steel Net Trap/Recovery Drone (Restaurant Tuna Event)
• Unlocked/upgraded (Steel*) Net Gun
• Unlocked/upgraded (Modified*) Hush Dart
• Unlocked/upgraded Cold-resistant Diving Suit*

*To get the upgrade materials you will need to have progressed/access to the (upper >535m) Glacial Area and have the (fully upgraded) Cold-resistant Diving Suit to get to the bottom

There are multiple methods to catch fish but for some there is only one.
This overview should help deciding what you need on your dive.
Some fish behave differently, but those will be covered in their respective area.
For Small or Big Fish Aggressive implies that the net breaks unless it’s a Steel Net.
Huge fish and Sharks are pretty much always aggressive.

Most of the fish here are low rank and small, easily caught with any version of the Net Gun/Hush Dart. Listed here are the exceptions.

Going deeper you may see the pattern.

• Tiny fish are caught with the bug net
• Small fish can generally be caught with any Net Gun or Hush Dart
• Agressive Fish that aren’t Huge/Sharks require the Steel Net Gun or any Hush Dart
• Big Fish and Huge/Sharks require the Recovery Drone
• Sharks and Huge Fish under rank 9 can be caught with the Steel Net Gun/Trap
• Rank 9 Huge fish and Sharks can only be caught with two shots of the Modified Hush Dart

There aren’t many exceptions this deep. The pattern continues. If you can catch it with the Steel Net Trap, you can catch it with the Steel Net Gun.

Only one exception. Any Net Gun/Hush Dart for the other fish.

The Glacial Area/Zone is somewhat populated and home to some very deadly Huge Fish and Sharks. All the small fish are easily caught with the Net Gun/Hush Dart… but the following fish are weird or otherwise difficult to obtain without the (Fully Upgraded) Modified Hush Gun

Ancient Fish lurk here. Very rare fish with low populations. Except for the Waptia, the most delicious ancient shrimp. Only a few exceptions.
