Endless Ocean Luminous | Sparkling Dive Event Gets Underway on June 7

Dive in.

Having released last month on the Nintendo Switch, with one event come and gone, the next event for Endless Ocean Luminous has been revealed. Via a notification in-game, the next event is Sparkling Dive: White Orcas Under Ice and it is expected to run from June 7, 2024, at 07:00 UTC to June 11, 2024, at 06:59 UTC. The official description of the event can be seen below:

A chance to meet creatures that are difficult to find during dives. For a limited time, you are welcome to visit this special dive area where you will meet a wide variety of marine life, including unusual schools of fish and huge fish you’ve never seen before.

If this event is anything like the previous one, each event dive is 20 minutes long and as long as players can explore 80% of the map, a unique Session ID to replay the map, will be given once the time limit has finished. So, should you encounter a promising map that you’ll want to revisit, the means to do so will be made available.

On a separate note, as the week has started anew, being the scuba divers that we are in the real world and massive fans of the Endless Ocean series that we are, on June 3, 2024, we endeavoured to nab first and second place on the online rankings for ourselves and we succeeded.

Mike has since overtaken me and claimed the top spot for himself, but yesterday was my day, today is his. Dive bros for life.
