The work is almost entirely water based. Launch from the dock with the Dinghy and Trackify, then move clockwise around the map through Paleto Cove, Mount Gordo, Palomino Highlands, the southeastern shore and back through the port and northern inlets. Depth varies, but the barrels sit on the seabed or in caves where a careful dive matters more than speed. Each barrel pays cash on delivery, with a large completion bonus once the set is cleared.

Do I have to dive?
