How to Start the Hunt for GTA 5 Submarine Parts?

To begin the hunt for Submarine Parts in GTA 5, players must first progress through the main story until they complete the mission "The Merryweather Heist." After this point, the next step is to purchase the Sonar Collections Dock property, located in Paleto Cove, for $250,000. This property can be bought with any of the three main characters. 

Once acquired, players need to switch characters to Michael and complete the "Death at Sea" Strangers and Freaks mission, which becomes available near the newly purchased dock. During this mission, players meet Abigail, who introduces the concept of searching for sunken submarine parts. 

After completing these prerequisites, Michael gains access to a Dinghy equipped with sonar technology, allowing him to start locating and collecting the submarine parts scattered across the ocean floor of San Andreas, along with scuba gear. With the submarine parts hunt unlocked and equipment ready, players can now explore the underwater world of San Andreas.
