#ecowatcher

It is 16th October (Sunday) morning, and Dave goes onto the Ecowatcher app to turn in the "Research Marine Plants 3" mission, which requires us to deliver 5 Kelp and 5 Kajime. Doing this rewards us 40 points, which levels us up to Level 3 and awards us the Eco Poison Resist Bracelet. This new bracelet increases poison resistance - not as useful compared to our previous reward the Eco Health Bracelet, which reduces damage done to Dave by 10%.

Post Jellyfish Party, Dave has approximately 8,000 gold balance. So we use some of that money to purchase from the Cobra Shop some items, including an Oxygen Tank Expansion (One-Time Use) for the afternoon dive, when we will fight the Giant Squid. We also spend 400 gold on Internet Ads to hire some new staff. The results of which will be made known to us the next evening.

The morning dive sees us encountering 2 pink things - our first Pink Seashell, which we require for an Ecowatcher mission. And the Pink Delivery Box containing Duff's Leahs-chan figurine found just lodged underneath the shipwreck of the delivery schooner that sunk awhile ago...

...

But just as Dave prepared to retrieve the Pink Delivery Box, a giant tentacle emerged from within the shipwreck's cracks and scooped up the box. Nearby, a menacing Longnose Sawshark hangs around, waiting to attack Dave. No matter, Duff instructs Dave to come back to the boat to grab his Gas Cutter to cut the iron doors of the shipwreck and retrieve the Pink Delivery Box from inside the ship.

Dive No. 30 saw us dive to a record-setting depth of 115 meters where the shipwreck was. We also harvested quite a lot of Giant Trevally Meat.

Dave pauses to refuel and prepare for the upcoming afternoon dive.

After diving down, at the shipwreck site, we pick up a Level 2 Triple Axel gun. We have no choice but to trade it for our Red Sniper Rifle whose bullets we spent on the Longnose Sawshark we encountered on the way down.

We get to the shipwreck and use the Gas Cutter to cut open the iron doors and enter... We discover quite a bit of space below the shipwreck - almost a whole cavern. The area is called "Under Sunken Ship".

Dave and Duff spot the Pink Delivery Box...alongside the Giant Squid slumbering next to it.

And then, the Giant Squid awakens and opens its eye...

It is still the morning of 10th October (Monday), and Dave checks out his Ecowatcher Missions Progress. We have removed 5 Fried Egg Jellyfish, as well as culled the Overpopulated Invasive Fish: 5 Red Lionfish and 5 Titan Triggerfish. This gives us 30 progress points, in addition to the previous 10 for a total of 40 progress points. We need 10 more progress points to reach Level 2.

Next, Dave goes onto iDiver to upgrade his Air Tank and Diving Suit to Level 3. This means he can now hold 145 Bars of air and dive to a Depth Limit of 150m. This cost us a total of 360 gold.

We head over to Bancho Sushi again to set up some things. Firstly, we start putting up some Flyer Ads again to get 2 more applicants in the hopes that we can get a better server than Liu.

In the meantime, we also Research a new recipe - Agar Tokoroten, which we happen to have the ingredients on-hand: 3 Agar and 1 Soy Sauce. The Tokoroten is a kind of jelly made from agar and is served cold in soy sauce. We place it on the Menu as our special dish for tonight's service.

Our morning dive, Dive No. 18, sees us battling and killing a Longnose Sawshark at the depths of 103.3m. Harvesting the shark gave us 10 pieces of meat at 13kg. During the dive, we acquired the Small Net Gun which gave us another 1/3rd of its blueprints. The deeper dive also meant that our personal best Depth went up to 107m. We even acquired a new Cooking Ingredient - Black Vinegar.

For the afternoon dive, Dive No. 19, we harvest lots of fish including the Green Humphead Parrotfish again. We also obtain the Red Sniper Rifle which has high damage and useful against a large fish. We decide to use it against the Whitetip Reefshark later on during the dive.

In the meantime, we stumble unto the Currents formation and pick up the Main Mission's Drone equipment: Computer Chip, Motor and Camera Lens. Navigating the Currents was exciting and dangerous as the sudden gush of underwater air can blow and smash Dave against the rocks.

Upon surfacing, Cobra quickly takes the parts to build the Drone and tells us to check back with him tomorrow about the delivered and promised Bomb. We then get the reward of 500 gold, 5 Soy Sauce and 5 Salt.

This dive saw us dive the longest at 14 mins and 45 secs, and get a ton of fish and Cooking Ingredients. It also saw us acquire another 1/3rd of the blueprints for making a Red Sniper Rifle.
