Diving sessions taking too long

[rfx]

Every day - or should I say - time of the day progressively gets longer and longer the more equiped you are.
Without spoiling too much I'm just done with chapter 6, but starting on chapter 4 the game has become a slog. By now every time I dive it's about 45-60 real life minutes at the very least to fill up the tank and complete the quests. An ingame day could take anywhere from 2 to 3 hours. It's getting ridiculous quickly.
That part of the game, moving slowly in the water and clicking on fish is really tedious and boring, and the Sushi bar part is progressively getting shorter and shorter comparatively :(.
It feels like a lot of work for just 3 minutes of having fun at the sushi bar. :\

Bite off more than you can chew. catch some and exit!

You don't have to fill it up completely every time you know. Get what you need and get out.

... Although I am not one to talk. Not sure I have ever come back with less than full overweight status.

Me. 100%. Can't help myself; it's like Gamers OCD, man. Need to open every tackle box, weapon chest and cooking pot, and pick up every harvestable plant. Send help. XD

Also...and this is without a trace of irony, in the most polite way possible (saying this because the internet can sometimes make innocent intent seem disrespectful)...the game is literally called Dave the Diver. I'm afraid diving is the bulk of the game. Sorry.

Personally, I love it when it's chill, and you can just collect the stuff you need to progress. The danger lurking everywhere really heightens the immersion, though. My need to explore absolutely everything and pick up every single silver bowl (for example) has gotten me killed a number of times. So. Many. Times. XD

What the actual hell are you doing down there to take up to an hour...?

I can't understand how you could possibly take 2-3 hours. Are you catching every fish in sight? Catching any of the sharks already takes up a bunch of weight. And as you get closer to the end of the game, there really isn't any need to catch any fish other than the ones you need for your primary dishes.
