Each die face represents a different action that a player can take:
On your turn, you roll 6 dice, each of which have the following faces:
* Flippers: Move up, left, or right.
* Anchors: Move straight or diagonal down.
* Harpoons: Aquire Fish cards. One Harpoon per Heart.
* Keys: Aquire Treasure cards. One Key per Lock.
* Oxygen: Needed to hold onto cards at the end of your turn. First card is free (does not require Oxygen).
* Radios: Use 1x to move the Boat. Use 3x to instantly return to the boat and store your haul.


* Flippers: Let you move up and side to side
* Anchors: Let you move to any space directly or diagonally below you
* Harpoons: Allow you to hunt fish
* Keys: Allow you to find treasure
* Oxygen: Let you hold onto additional cards
* Radios: Let you move the boat, or, you can spend 3 of them for an emergency pullback.


When your diver is on top of a card, you may spend the required dice (1 Harpoon per Heart, 1 Key per Lock) to put the card in your haul. At the end of your turn, you must discard cards in your haul until you have 1 + the number of Oxygen dice you had at the end of your turn.
Stow your haul on the boat to secure your cards. Do this by using a Flipper in the space under the Boat and moving upwards. Alternatively, you can spend 3 radios. Stowed cards are permenantly banked and no longer require Oxygen.


To secure your haul, you must stow it on the boat. This can be done in two ways. The first is, as mentioned above, spending 3 radios. The second is to use a flipper while on the space directly below the boat to go up and “tap the boat”. Cards stowed during your turn are permanently banked and never require oxygen.

Currents: Throughout the game, currents will appear in the Ocean. Players can move off Current cards in the directions shown for free.
Throughout the game, currents will be put into the ocean grid. These allow players to move without spending dice in the directions shown on the card.
