To get the Snorkel, you must complete the quest ‘Deep Diving’ and then craft one using the rewarded Snorkel Recipe. There are a few Quest prerequisites to learn how to dive in Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

Unlock the ability to swim with Flippers. You will get the Flippers Recipe from Keroppi when he reaches Friendship Level 2.
Increase your Friendship with Kuromi to Level 6. You will also need to complete her first quest, ‘Re-Haunt The Spooky Swamp’, which becomes available at Friendship Level 4.

Kuromi likes Spooky things – especially Jack-O-Lanterns. Gift her a few Jack-O-Lanterns (and use a Friendship Blossom for more daily Gifts) to raise her Friendship level up to 6 after you Survive the Mansion.

When she reaches Friendship Level 6, go northwest of the Spooky Swamp fast travel point to find her by a small pond. Talk to Kuromi and she will ask you to find her lost locket in the water. She will lend you her own Snorkel and begin the ‘Deep Diving’ quest.

‘Deep Diving’ Quest & How To Dive In Hello Kitty Island Adventure

To dive in, Hello Kitty Island Adventure players must jump into the water, then dip under the surface by going down with the right analog stick (or input displayed on the right of the screen). You can control how deep you go with the analog stick, but be careful, because you will lose Stamina faster as you go deeper underwater.

Rising to the surface consumes significantly less Stamina, so if you are in danger of drowning, head back up to regenerate Stamina.

Kuromi’s locket is not far from the dock, and you don’t need any Golden Stamina Apple upgrades to dive deep enough to find it. Swim about two or three seconds up from the dock where Kuromi is standing, then dive underwater.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure: Can You Time Travel

Players could time travel in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, but they might not want to considering the risks. Here is what to know.

Find Kuromi’s Locket, Then Craft A Snorkel Of Your Own

You should find Kuromi’s Locket on the lakebed just below the end of the dock. Pick it up, then swim to the surface and Gift it to Kuromi to complete ‘Deep Diving’. She will take back her Snorkel and refuse to let you use it again.

Instead, Kuromi will gift you a Snorkel Recipe. To craft a Snorkel, you need 2x Ingot, 10x Rubber, and 2x Spark.

Ingots can be found in Chests, and you can craft one with 3x Iron Ore if you have the Ingot Crafting Plans. This recipe can be found just to the left of the Dance Hall in Gemstone Mountain.
Rubber can be found on the ground on the Seaside Resort island. Look for what appears to be a small purple ball to find Rubber.
Sparks can be found in Chests, or crafted with the Spark Crafting Recipe with 3x Light Stones. This recipe is rewarded by Pochacco after completing the Friendship Level 4 quest ‘A Zipline Adventure’.

Once you have all materials, head back to Chococat’s crafting table and make your very own Snorkel! Just like the Flippers, the Snorkel is always equipped and will prompt the Dive In action when you enter deep enough water.

For the most part, the central sea of the Hello Kitty Island Adventure map is all divable water– and now, you can finally meet Hangyodon and deliver the final Welcome Gift for My Melody!
