Copy the whole SteamSData folder (your numbered Steam ID subfolder inside it holds the actual save).
Before you move anything, make a full backup of every Dave the Diver save on the OLD PC in one command. Press Win+R (or open Command Prompt), paste this, and hit Enter:
robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\nexon\DAVE THE DIVER\SteamSData" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\DavetheDiver-save-backup" /E /COPY:DAT /R:1 /W:1
/E mirrors the whole save tree (every profile sub-folder and slot) to a backup folder on your Desktop without touching the originals. Copy that folder to the new PC, then restore by swapping the source and destination paths.

How to transfer your Dave the Diver save to a new PC
- On the old PC press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\nexon\DAVE THE DIVER\SteamSData and press Enter.
- Copy the whole folder (including your numbered Steam ID subfolder) to a USB drive or cloud folder.
- Install Dave the Diver on the new PC and launch it once, then close it so the save folder is created.
- Open the same path on the new PC and paste the SteamSData contents in, overwriting if asked.
- Launch the game and confirm your dives loaded before deleting the backup.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
Yes — on PC Dave the Diver syncs through Steam Cloud, so SteamSData mirrors across machines on the same account. Close the game fully before pasting a backup, or Steam Cloud may restore the older copy on next launch.
Common mistakes
- Copying only part of SteamSData and leaving the numbered Steam ID subfolder behind.
- Letting Steam Cloud overwrite your pasted save because the game was still running.
