Iron ore locations inDave the Diver
Iron ore is found around the Limestone Caverns area of the map, around the 100-120+ depth range. If there are spikes about and the currents are coming, chances are you’ll find an outcropping of iron ore nearby. The area around the sunken ship is a good rule of thumb for where to search around for iron ore. Iron ore is a lighter color than its cousins lead and copper. This allows you to pick it out by sight and not accidentally mine a different mineral mistaken for iron ore.

It is perfectly mineable with just your standard dive knife or any equivalent melee weapon if you approach it and hit it. You’ll get a yield of about three iron ore pieces per outcrop. The most challenging part of mining iron is avoiding the current throwing you into the deadly spikes rather than the act of mining itself.
Search around and gather up what you need, then simply be sure to make it back to the boat in one piece to keep the ore on you. You’re going to need it to craft and upgrade your weapons, after all.
