Dave the Diver is a unique pixel graphics game that is part diving sim, part restaurant sim. In order to succeed in getting through all the story quests, players will need to make contact with the Sea People. Unfortunately for Dave, the Sea People's language is impossible to understand. Dr. Bacon offers to make a translator, but he needs several objects first.
While the Amethyst can be easily found on the way back to the cave where the Sea People are hiding. But the Sea People's Stone Tablet and the Microphone can be hard to find. All three of these pieces will be needed to complete the Sea People translation device.
Dave the Diver: How to Sell Items
Players of the manager sim called Dave the Diver will need tons of gold coins for upgrades, and they may want to sell some of their fish to do it.
Update November 2, 2023, by Mina Smith: Dave the Diver was still in early access when this article was originally published. While not much has changed with this particular quest, it seemed as though some players were having trouble finding the microphone as well as the tablet, so this piece has been updated to include information on where to find this part of the translation device as well. Hopefully, this will make it easier for players to complete the Sea People's language quest chain and get talking to the mer-people who need Dave's help.
The Sea People's Stone Tablet in Dave the Diver
After players of this restaurant simulation game find the Sea People again after defeating the giant squid, there will be a male Sea Person and an injured female Sea Person. The male tries to communicate with Dave, but he is unable to understand it. He'll need to return to the boat and have a chat with Dr. Bacon. He will charge Dave with finding three items and then will make the translator for Dave once they are collected.
One of the items he will ask for is a Stone Tablet. This tablet will have the Sea People's language on it, making it easier for him to build the translator. When asking for the Tablet, Dr. Bacon will also give a big hint on where to find it.
Head to the Sea People's Record Chamber Again
The Record Chamber is where Dave found the mural. This chamber is in the Limestone Cave, which players had to blow up the entrance of earlier in the game. It can be found where players found the Sea Grapes in Dave the Diver. The Limestone Cave seems to only show up in the morning dives, and it can be found in the middle of the map at a depth of about 90-100m down. Once players find it, they can head inside.
The Sea People's Tablet will be located in the middle of the room; interact with it to pick it up in this indie game.
Where to Find the Microphone in Dave the Diver
Now that players have the tablet and the Amethyst, they just need one more piece of the puzzle. Thankfully, the microphone is easy to find; it's in the wreck where the Giant Squid fights happen in Dave the Diver.
Go to the ship where Duff's Pink Delivery is found, then use the interact button to head inside. With the giant squid dead, players will be able to swim safely through this cave area. The microphone will be on the ocean floor near where this epic boss battle took place.
What to Do Next in Dave the Diver
Players will need to return to the surface and have a chat with Dr. Bacon. He will make the translation device and give it to Dave the next day. While players are waiting, a great tip for Dave the Diver players is to take some time to make some money at the restaurant; they will need a fully upgraded diving suit to reach the depths for the next section of the game.
