RSVSR GTA 5 Submarine Parts How to Unlock Death at Sea and Find 30

[Rodrigo]

If you've been treating GTA V like it's only roads, sirens, and the occasional sticky bomb, you're skipping a whole other vibe under the water. I didn't expect an underwater checklist to be this calming, but it is, especially once you've got a plan and the patience for it. Some players even prep their saves or setups with things like GTA 5 Modded Accounts, but no matter how you play, the Submarine Parts run is basically a slow-burn scavenger hunt that sits way outside the usual chaos.

Getting It To Even Start
This isn't one of those activities you just stumble into. You've got to push the story forward until "The Merryweather Heist" is done, then make your way up toward Paleto Cove and buy the Sonar Collections Dock for $250,000. It hurts, yeah, but that purchase is the gate. Any character can buy it, but the actual mission only kicks off properly when you swap to Michael. Look for the Strangers and Freaks marker called "Death at Sea," meet Abigail Mathers, and listen to her pitch. She's not asking for treasure. She wants proof, and it's personal.

What The Search Feels Like
After the intro, you get what makes this doable: a Dinghy with sonar and proper scuba gear, so you're not popping up every ten seconds like a stressed-out seal. The loop is simple on paper: use the sonar to find a blip, dive, grab the fragment, repeat. In practice, it's fiddly. Some pieces are close to shore and you'll snag them fast. Others sit in deep water where everything turns dark and flat, and you start second-guessing your direction the second you leave the boat.

Tips People Learn The Hard Way
The biggest time-waster is rushing. If you dive straight down on the first ping and swim around in circles, you'll burn minutes for nothing. Line up your boat first, then drop. When you're down there, sweep slowly and look for shapes that don't belong—metal edges, a chunk of hull, something wedged beside a rock. A few parts hide near wrecks and rusty structures, and it's easy to miss one because it blends into the silt. Keep your phone tools handy, keep adjusting your angle, and don't be afraid to surface, reset, and go again.

Why It's Worth Finishing
What surprised me is how the ocean changes the mood of San Andreas. No traffic noise, no radio, just muffled bubbles and the creak of wreckage as you drift past it. By the time you've pulled up all 30 pieces, you'll feel like you've actually explored the map instead of just blasting through it. And Abigail's storyline lands in a way that feels oddly grounded for GTA, especially if you've spent hours grinding money or messing around with GTA 5 Accounts and forgot the game can still tell a quiet little mystery.
