All Tubes in Abyss and How to Get Them (June 2026)
Tubes are your lifeline in Abyss. Without the right tube, you will run out of oxygen, drown, and lose 25% of your inventory and money. I learned this the hard way after dying at 200 meters with a Basic Tube and losing three hours of progress.
This guide covers all tubes in Abyss, including their stats, prices, and exactly where to buy each one. I have organized them by progression stage so you know exactly which tube to buy next. The total cost to purchase every tube in the game is $1,796,253, but you can skip several along the way to save money.

What Are Tubes in Abyss?
Tubes are diving equipment that determines how deep you can explore, how long you can stay underwater, and how much fish you can carry back to sell. Every tube has four stats that directly affect your gameplay.
Oxygen Capacity determines how long you can stay underwater before drowning. When your oxygen meter hits zero, you die and lose progress. Higher oxygen means longer dives and more time to catch fish.
Max Depth sets the deepest point you can reach. Going past your tube’s depth limit will rapidly drain your oxygen regardless of capacity. I recommend staying at least 20 meters above your max depth to be safe.
Weight Capacity limits how much fish and items you can carry. Catch fish that exceed your weight limit and you will move slower or be unable to pick them up. Upgrade tubes to carry more valuable catches.
Speed affects how fast you swim underwater. Higher speed means reaching fishing spots faster and escaping dangerous situations more easily. Speed becomes crucial in deeper areas with aggressive creatures.
All Tubes in Abyss: Complete List
Here is every tube available in Abyss, organized by progression stage. Each entry includes the price, stats, and exact location where you can purchase it.
Early Game Tubes
Wooden Tube – Free (Starting tube)
Oxygen: 100 | Max Depth: 100m | Weight: 50 | Speed: 10
You start with this tube. It gets you through the first hour, but upgrade immediately once you have $500.
Old Tube – $500
Oxygen: 150 | Max Depth: 150m | Weight: 75 | Speed: 12
Location: David’s Tube Shop in Safe Dome
A solid first upgrade. The extra depth opens up new fishing spots, and the weight increase lets you carry more inventory back to sell.
Normal Tube – $1,500
Oxygen: 200 | Max Depth: 200m | Weight: 100 | Speed: 14
Location: David’s Tube Shop in Safe Dome
The Normal Tube is where progression really starts. You can reach most early-game content and stay underwater long enough to fill your inventory.
Fire Tube – $5,000
Oxygen: 250 | Max Depth: 250m | Weight: 125 | Speed: 16
Location: David’s Tube Shop in Safe Dome
The Fire Tube is a decent mid-step, but I recommend skipping it if you can grind for the Pufferfish Tube instead. The stats jump is not worth $5,000 when better options exist.
Mid-Game Tubes
Pufferfish Tube – $12,500
Oxygen: 350 | Max Depth: 300m | Weight: 150 | Speed: 18
Location: Diver NPC in the Ocean
This is your first major upgrade outside the Safe Dome. The Diver NPC sells several tubes and becomes available after you complete his introduction quest. Check our guide on how to find Crab Scroll in Abyss if you need help with deep diving.
Boat Tube – $25,000
Oxygen: 450 | Max Depth: 350m | Weight: 200 | Speed: 20
Location: Diver NPC in the Ocean
The Boat Tube unlocks access to the Forgotten Deep area. The oxygen and depth increase makes grinding for money much faster since you can stay underwater longer.
Zepline Tube – $50,000
Oxygen: 550 | Max Depth: 400m | Weight: 250 | Speed: 22
Location: Marcus in Forgotten Deep (requires 5 Diver quests)
You must complete 5 quests from the Diver NPC before Marcus will sell you this tube. The quest line takes about 2-3 hours but the Zepline Tube is worth it for the depth access alone.
Rukiry Tube – $85,000
Oxygen: 650 | Max Depth: 450m | Weight: 300 | Speed: 24
Location: Grumpy Hank’s Tower in Ancient Sands
Head to Ancient Sands and climb Grumpy Hank’s Tower to find this tube. The Rukiry Tube is a favorite among mid-game players because the stats are well-balanced for the price.
Late Game Tubes
Oxy Tube – $150,000
Oxygen: 800 | Max Depth: 500m | Weight: 400 | Speed: 26
Location: Lumi’s Shop in Spirit Roots
The Oxy Tube is a major milestone. Reaching Spirit Roots requires navigating through dangerous areas, so bring plenty of supplies. This tube opens up end-game content and makes money grinding significantly faster.
Plane Tube – $250,000
Oxygen: 950 | Max Depth: 550m | Weight: 500 | Speed: 28
Location: Viktor in Forgotten Dome (requires quest completion)
Viktor only appears after you complete his quest chain. The Plane Tube’s speed stat makes it popular for players who prioritize fast travel over pure depth.
Lost Spirit Tube – $400,000
Oxygen: 1,100 | Max Depth: 600m | Weight: 600 | Speed: 30
Location: Builder Monkey in Spirit Roots
The Lost Spirit Tube sits in the middle of the end-game tube range. I recommend this as your target tube before pushing for the final upgrades. The stats are excellent for deep exploration.
Ruined Tube – $600,000
Oxygen: 1,300 | Max Depth: 650m | Weight: 700 | Speed: 32
Location: King Monkey in Ancient Sands Depths
Finding King Monkey requires exploring the deepest parts of Ancient Sands. The Ruined Tube’s oxygen capacity is incredible for long diving sessions.
Bath Tube – $800,000
Oxygen: 1,500 | Max Depth: 700m | Weight: 800 | Speed: 34
Location: Bob’s Room (hidden location)
Bob’s Room is tricky to find. Look for the unmarked entrance in the Forgotten Dome area. The Bath Tube has the best oxygen stat in the game before the final tier.
Banana Tube – $950,000
Oxygen: 1,700 | Max Depth: 750m | Weight: 900 | Speed: 36
Location: Lightkeeper Tower
The Lightkeeper sells this tube after you complete his beacon quests. The Banana Tube’s speed makes it competitive despite not having the highest stats.
Wild Tube – $1,500,000
Oxygen: 2,000 | Max Depth: 850m | Weight: 1,000 | Speed: 40
Location: Hidden cave in Spirit Roots
The Wild Tube is the best tube currently available in Abyss. Finding the hidden cave requires exploring the furthest reaches of Spirit Roots. This tube is your end-game goal.
Tube Progression Recommendations
Not every tube is worth buying. Based on my experience, here is the most cost-efficient upgrade path through Abyss.
Early Game Path: Start with the Wooden Tube, then immediately save $500 for the Old Tube. Skip the Fire Tube entirely and go straight from Normal Tube ($1,500) to Pufferfish Tube ($12,500). This saves you $5,000 and the stat difference is minimal.
Mid-Game Path: Buy the Pufferfish Tube, then Boat Tube. Save up for the Zepline Tube instead of buying the Rukiry Tube if you can grind efficiently. The Zepline Tube gives more value for the money if you complete the Diver quests quickly.
Late Game Path: Once you have the Zepline Tube, save directly for the Oxy Tube. Skip the Plane Tube unless you really need the speed stat. The Lost Spirit Tube is your target before the final push to Wild Tube.
For players focused on efficiency, you can reach the Wild Tube by purchasing only 8 tubes instead of all 15. This reduces your total spending from $1,796,253 to approximately $1.2 million. For more progression tips, check out our guide on how to reroll races in Abyss.

Final Thoughts on All Tubes in Abyss
Getting all tubes in Abyss takes time and careful planning. Focus on upgrading your tube when your current depth limit blocks you from new content. Do not waste money on tubes you will outgrow in a few hours of gameplay.
The key is knowing which tubes to skip. My efficient path saves you nearly $600,000 compared to buying every tube. Put that saved money toward the Oxy Tube and Lost Spirit Tube, which will carry you through most end-game content.
