You surface, chest heaving, and a shadow the size of a canoe slips under the lily pads—suddenly the lake feels like a locked cabinet full of secrets. I’ve been chasing those silhouettes for days, and every session taught me one thing: the jungle’s water keeps its own calendar. You can blink and miss a rare spawner that changes everything.
I’m writing this as someone who catalogs fish for fun and for profit, and I’ll walk you through what matters. You’ll find practical notes, where to chase the boss-tier threats, and which small fry are worth farming for the restaurant. Treat this as your field notebook—sharp, scannable, and updated as new sightings roll in.
The riverbank is littered with discarded nets — All fish in Dave the Diver: Into the Jungle
Dave the Diver: Into the Jungle pins dozens of new species across Utara Lake and the waterholes you discover later. Some fish matter for the main story; others are optional trophies or reliable cash sources for your sushi bar. Below is the organized list I use when I’m in the game — quick to scan, easy to memorize, and updated as new finds appear.
How many new fish are in Into the Jungle?
Short answer: dozens. The DLC adds new small fry you can farm and heavyweight bosses that demand you bring your A-game from the base game. I’d count each distinct spawn shown below as worth tracking — missing them can lock you out of certain dishes and side rewards.
Utara Lake – Upper (0-35m)
Shallow water, tangled roots, and quick-moving schools — this section is where you stock up on reliable menu fillers.

Where can I find the Giant Snakehead and other bosses?
Boss fish tend to lurk in the lower layers or in pockets behind foliage. The Giant Snakehead, for example, prefers the lower silt and ambush points in the 35–75m bracket — you’ll want stronger gear and patience. If you’re running the game on Steam, Switch, or PlayStation, treat your upgrade path like an investment: the better rod and knife you bring, the less time you waste respawning.
Utara Lake – Lower (35-75m)
Dark water, deep roots, and the kind of predators that rearrange your inventory. These spawns reward aggression and a calm hand.

Are there fossil or ancient sea creatures in the DLC?
Yes. Expect fossils and prehistoric spawns in the Lakebed Sea — creatures like Ammonite, Orthoceras, and Platyceramus appear and often tie into side quests or restaurant recipes. If you follow communities on Steam and Reddit (look for posts in r/davethediver), you’ll spot spawn patterns that the developer and players share.
Lakebed Sea
A pocket of cold, fossil-lined water that rewards patient searching — rare finds are regular here if you time your runs.

I track new sightings on Steam discussion threads, the official patch notes, and community wikis — Moyens I/O ran an early gallery that helped me tag a few odd spawns. The DLC currently retails for $9.99 (€10) on major platforms, and player-run guides on Reddit and Steam are a fast way to spot spawn windows if you don’t want to grind alone.
If you want a simple rule of thumb: farm the shallow schools for steady income, and treat the lower lake like a timed raid; the rare spawns there pay off handsomely. The chase is a chess match with a wild river — make your moves count.
At the time of writing, new fish and bosses continue to appear in quests and side content. I’ll update the list as the community and the studio discover more — which of these spawns will change how you play this DLC?
