Saturation Diving Guides and Walkthroughs

Welcome to the Guides Hub for Saturation Diving on Roblox. This index links to every walkthrough and tutorial on the wiki, organized by player stage. If you are new, start with the Getting Started guide and work your way down. If you are pushing for hadal-tier loot, the Walkthrough covers every zone in run order. Each guide below covers a specific slice of the game — open the one that matches where you are stuck instead of reading the wiki cover to cover.

Beginner

• Getting Started — your first dive from lobby to first ore deposit. Includes the full keyboard layout and the optimal opening gear pick.
• Controls — every keybind on PC and the touch layout on mobile, plus accessibility tips for low-vision players.

Survival

• How to Survive — oxygen management, entity avoidance, and the panic-rule checklist every diver should memorize before a Black Mound run.
• Gas-Pass Mechanic — how the chamber swap works, when to pass gas mid-dive, and the share-cost math that decides whether to share oxygen or surface alone.

Progression

• Upgrades Guide — gear upgrade tree, ore-to-credit conversion, and the priority order for spending credits by role.
• Ore Types — full ore tier breakdown, value per depth band, and which ores to skip when carry capacity is low, plus how tier scaling interacts with the upgrade tree.
• Mining Routes — optimal lane paths through Twilight Reef and Black Mound, including safe-return checkpoints and shared-rush timing.

Endgame

• Full Walkthrough — every zone, every boss, every role swap, in the order the developer intends you to experience the game.
• Crash Sites — every wreck location, what lore drops at each, and the dive-window timing for solo clears.
• Real-Life Saturation Diving — the real engineering behind the game’s pressure mechanic, useful context for understanding why hadal runs feel the way they do.
