Michael collecting a submarine piece.
Submarine Pieces are collectibles in Grand Theft Auto V. There are 30 pieces in total scattered throughout the ocean around San Andreas.
Overview[]
Note: The practicalities of this mission have been changed with patches and may differ depending on the game edition. Players running older or unpatched editions may have a harder time collecting.
The player can start to collect the submarine pieces once they complete the mission The Merryweather Heist, buys the Sonar Collections Dock for $250,000 with any character and completes the Death at Sea Strangers and Freaks mission as Michael.
Pieces can be collected while free diving (as long as the depth allows it), scuba diving, or touching the pieces while piloting the Minisub (when no rubble is in the way). The Dinghy and Minisub provide scuba gear when exiting them at sea. When in the Dinghy, the "Wreckage Site" sonar can be used to locate the general location of the pieces. When a piece is near, there will be a ping on the radar, even when the protagonist is not using the Dinghy.
Any of the three protagonists can collect the pieces; however, only Michael can return them to Abigail. The mission What Lies Beneath is unlocked once all 30 pieces are collected.
Unlike the Spaceship Parts and Letter Scraps, the Submarine Parts do not count towards 100% completion.
Piece Locations[]
The pieces can be found in clusters around the coast all over the state including the shallow waters of the Los Santos harbor. Most pieces are located in or near sunken ships or airplane wreckage.

Trivia[]
- An internet article from Public Liberty Online published after the mission Blitz Play mentions the Submarine Pieces; the article reports on the death of Frank Mathers while he was testing a submarine, and mentions that the submarine broke apart spreading its pieces across the ocean.
