DiveHunter, the new mobile game dedicated to spearfishing enthusiasts is now ready for you! Born from the idea of ​​an estimator and fishing enthusiast, DiveHunter was conceived and created to be a full-fledged simulator, without neglecting the playful aspect, for a new and engaging entertainment. Test your marine hunting skills in total apnea! You have 30 to 40 seconds of oxygen available to prey on and catch your fish with your inseparable rifle: the more fish you capture the more seconds of time you gain. The game includes a game of 10 apneas during which you will go to total your catch between the various half fish and one kg of weight. Based on the fish catch speed and the total weight, the system will assign you a partial and total number of stars (for each apnea). Can you do more? No problem! You can try again and have fun with DiveHunter as many times as you want.

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Diving Simulator 2020 at 4.3 against DiveHunter's 2.1. Diving Simulator 2020 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). DiveHunter's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months) and review sentiment (49% vs 33%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Diving Simulator 2020 holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Diving Simulator 2020 has 1.4K ratings behind it against 67, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Diving Simulator 2020's written reviews are positive against 49% of DiveHunter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Diving Simulator 2020 ships an update every 9 months, DiveHunter every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 26, 2026 respectively.
