No Man’s Sky: How to Get Deep-Sea Diving Suit

No Man's Sky: How to Get Deep-Sea Diving Suit

As a seasoned space traveler with countless hours under my belt exploring the vast and wondrous universe of No Man’s Sky, I find myself eagerly anticipating Phase 3 milestones. While some might view these tasks as mundane or time-consuming, I see them as opportunities to delve deeper into the game’s rich underwater world.


In the game No Man’s Sky, fresh items and features continue to be added, with update 5.10 allowing all players, whether new or seasoned, the chance to fish. Although this fishing feature may seem insignificant in comparison to the grand scheme of things, it is the additional elements – such as the Exo-Skiff and the Lost Angler’s Rig – that come with this new mechanic, that truly define the Aquarius update.

In No Man’s Sky’s latest update, Aquarius, the Deep-Sea Diving Suit is a striking choice for traversing and diving into the deepest waters of the universe. This guide will walk you through the steps to obtain every component of the Deep-Sea Diving Suit in the Aquarius update.

In the sci-fi game, No Man’s Sky, you can acquire the Deep-Sea Diving Gear by progressing through and finishing various stages of the Aquarius Expedition. You have the option to initiate a new adventure or join the Expedition Terminus in the Anomaly with your existing characters. The Deep-Sea Diving Gear consists of four parts, which you will unlock upon completing Phases 2 and 3 of the Aquarius Expedition.

  • Deep-Sea Flippers (Phase 2)
  • Deep-Sea Leggings (Phase 2)
  • Deep-Sea Helmet (Phase 3)
  • Deep-Sea Armour (Phase 3)

In update 5.10 of No Man’s Sky, each phase consists of multiple Milestones, which represent the new additions and mechanics being introduced. Be sure to pay attention to each one and learn how to overcome them.

For Phase 2, the tasks are straightforward. However, remember that for the ‘Sun of the Water’ task, catching fish during daytime is necessary across any system. Moreover, for the ‘Feed Water’ task, you’ll need to explore Irradiated planets, so ensure your safety systems are fully charged as you’ll be searching for rare fish in ‘No Man’s Sky’.

In Phase 3, the principles remain the same, but these achievements require more time to complete compared to those in Phase 2. For instance, to unlock the Child of the Sea milestone, you’ll need to construct an underwater base. Don’t fret, as in ‘No Man’s Sky’, a simple room and Base Computer will do just fine. For the Lazy Fisherman achievement, you’ll be creating Automated Traps. Here’s a list of necessary materials for that:

  • 50x Salt: Found as a secondary element in some minerals, as a primary element in underwater minerals, and inside Resource Deposits. You can also use a Refiner to get Salt:
    • 1x Chlorine + 2x Salt.
    • 1x Di-hydrogen +1x Oxygen.
  • 3x Metal Plating: Use 50x Ferrite Dust to build one Metal Plating.
  • 1x Ion Battery: Use its blueprint to make one Ion Battery with 5x Ferrite Duse and 10x Cobalt. Alternatively, you can refine one Ion Battery with the following ingredients:
