How to Get a Dive-Site ID in Endless Ocean Luminous

Here’s how to unlock a map’s Dive-Site ID in Endless Ocean Luminous so you can share your favorite dive locations or return to one later.

Endless Ocean Luminous takes place in the Veiled Sea, an uncharted ocean containing over 500 unique species of creatures. To live up to the name of Endless Ocean, the maps you explore are procedurally generated, meaning things like the creatures, salvage, and biomes will differ from map to map.

The procedurally generated maps can make doing so difficult if you are looking for a specific species, disc puzzle, salvage, or anything else for a quest or relic tablet. However, the game has a mechanic that lets you unlock a way to visit a map or go back to it again using its unique code called a Dive-Site ID. Here's how to unlock a map's Dive-Site ID in Endless Ocean Luminous so you can return to a specific map whenever you want.

How to Get a Dive-Site ID in Endless Ocean Luminous

To unlock a map's Dive-Site ID in Endless Ocean Luminous, you must uncover 80% of the map. When you reach 80% explored, the game will automatically reveal the remaining 20%. Then, after you leave the dive, you'll be rewarded with a screen that shows this map's Dive-Site ID. There is also a screenshot shortcut, like the screenshot button on the Switch, so you can save it for later or share it with your friends. You can tell how much of a map you've explored by opening the map using the X button and looking at the bottom right of the map screen.

Unfortunately, exploring 80% of a map in Solo mode can be highly tedious due to how long it takes to uncover the map yourself. However, playing shared dives with other players can finish the map exploration requirement. Any part of the map explored by other players counts towards the 80% exploration requirement. With an entire team of divers completing quests and looking for creatures to scan to fill the light meter and play the tag slot machine, you'll quickly get the map's Dive-Site ID.

In addition, you can share Dive-Site IDs with other players on platforms like Reddit. Doing so makes it easy to discover maps with exciting landmarks, Disc puzzles, or specific biomes you need to explore underwater to complete quests. You still need to uncover the map 80% if you want to unlock the map officially, but not doing so won't prevent you from starting a dive with the Dive-Site ID.

If you can't complete a Disc puzzle in Endless Ocean Luminous because your rank isn't high enough, or you need to come back to a map to complete specific quests, using a Dive-Site ID is an excellent way to do that. This method works because the location of everything on a particular map stays the same regardless of how many times you visit it, making it a reliable way to locate what you need.
