About the Game

Paleo Dive

Dive into a world lost to time.

Paleo Dive is a relaxing VR diving adventure that invites you to explore fascinating prehistoric marine environments. Swim through colorful coral reefs, dense kelp forests, and mysterious deep-sea regions inhabited by creatures from a distant age.

Explore. Photograph. Discover.

Use natural arm movements to glide through the water, keep an eye on your remaining oxygen, and plan your return to base before it runs out.

During your dives, you will uncover rare artifacts and encounter a variety of prehistoric animals. Use your underwater camera to photograph them and unlock new entries in your creature catalog. Each entry contains interesting information about the species you have discovered and keeps track of your observations.

Collected artifacts unlock additional diving areas and allow you to improve your equipment step by step. Your wrist-mounted smartwatch gives you direct access to your creature catalog, collection, and available upgrades while you play.
