Dave the Diver: Where to find Coral Trout

In Dave the Diver, fish locations aren’t completely random, and most are bound to specific areas or depths. The Coral Trout is usually found in shoals of around three fishes at 50-130m down. Your depth is always labeled on your Oxygen Gauge.

Finding Coral Trout may take a while as the Blue Hole is ever-changing. I’ve seen them directly below the boat at the appropriate depth. I’ve also seen them as far as you can travel to the east. If you’re getting unlucky, I recommend swimming as far east as possible at 50-130m deep. If you run into a wall, swim above or below it. You should find all the fish you need in a single dive if you’re not burning through your Oxygen by Speed Swimming.

How to complete Michael Bang’s Order in Dave the Diver

The Coral Trout is arguably the most elusive part of Michael Bang’s VIP request, but there are a few other ingredients you need to track down. Here’s how to find each one:

Titan Triggerfish
Titan Triggerfish are one of the first hostile creatures players will encounter and look like yellow piranhas. By the time you’re doing VIP missions, these are trivial threats. You can find them in the shallows from 0-50m deep.

Harlequin Hind
Harlequin Hind are colorful blue fish with green stripes found at around 50-130m deep. These are fairly common, but if you’re struggling to find them, slowly patrol the appropriate depth until you do.

Rice
Finally, there’s the rice. You’ll be new to the farm mechanics at this point in the game, but you’re guaranteed to have the rice you need before the VIP shows up.
