What Are Tubes in Abyss and Why They Matter
Tubes are your most critical piece of equipment in Abyss – they’re essentially your underwater breathing apparatus and exploration vehicle combined. Without a proper tube, you’re limited to the shallow safe zones, missing out on the rare fish and valuable treasures that lie in deeper waters.
Each tube comes with four crucial stats that determine your underwater capabilities:
Oxygen Capacity (O2): This tells you how long you can stay underwater before needing to resurface. When your oxygen drops below 10, you’ll notice your movement speed decreasing significantly – that’s your warning sign to head back immediately!
Max Depth: This is arguably the most important stat. It determines how deep you can safely dive. Going beyond your tube’s depth limit causes your oxygen to drain rapidly, making it nearly impossible to return to the surface.
Weight Limit: This determines how many fish and items you can carry. Exceeding this limit will slow you down, making it harder to escape dangerous situations or return to the surface in time.
Speed: How fast you can move underwater. While most early tubes have the same speed, higher-tier tubes offer improved mobility that can be a game-changer for both exploration and escape.
Complete Tube Progression Guide
Starting Out: The Early Game Tubes
Wooden Tube (Free)
Your first tube comes free during the tutorial. While basic, it’s perfect for learning the game mechanics and catching your first few fish in the immediate area. Don’t get too attached though – you’ll want to upgrade quickly!
Old Tube ($50)
Available from David’s Tube Shop in the Forgotten Deep, this is your first real upgrade. The slight increase in oxygen and depth makes it worth the minimal investment, especially if you’re struggling with the Wooden Tube’s limitations.
Normal Tube ($350)
This is where the game really opens up. For just $350, you get significantly better depth and oxygen capacity, allowing you to explore more of the Forgotten Deep and catch better fish. Most experienced players recommend skipping the Old Tube and going straight for this one if you can afford it.
Fire Tube ($1,500)
The Fire Tube marks your transition into serious exploration. With 100m depth capability, you can now access areas that were previously off-limits. The increased oxygen and weight capacity mean longer, more profitable diving sessions.
Mid-Game Mastery
Pufferfish Tube ($2,850)
This is arguably the best value tube in the game. For under $3,000, you get 180m depth capability and a nice speed boost. This tube will carry you comfortably into the Ancient Sands biome and is perfect for players looking to maximize their early-to-mid game progression.
Boat Tube ($5,250)
Once you reach the Ancient Sands, Marcus sells this fantastic mid-game option. The 100kg weight capacity is a game-changer for commercial fishing, allowing you to haul back massive catches that will quickly pay for the tube itself.
Zepline Tube ($18,500)
Available from the Diver NPC after completing 5 quests, this tube represents a significant leap in capability. The 375m depth opens up entirely new biomes and fish species, while the improved speed makes exploration much more efficient.
Late-Game Domination
Rukiry Tube ($40,500)
Found at Grumpy Hank’s House in the Ancient Sands, this tube is the gateway to end-game content. With 460m depth capability, you can now access some of the most valuable fishing spots in the game.
Oxy Tube ($84,500)
While the exact location is still TBA (To Be Announced), this tube offers incredible oxygen capacity and depth for serious deep-sea explorers. The 28m/s speed is also a significant upgrade over previous tubes.
Plane Tube ($86,500)
Another premium tube from the Diver NPC (after 10 quests), this offers the best depth-to-price ratio in the game. The 550m depth capability puts almost the entire ocean within your reach.
End-Game Excellence
Lost Spirit Tube ($150,000)
The spiritual successor to mid-game tubes, offering excellent all-around stats for players who want a balanced end-game experience without breaking the bank on the absolute best options.
Bath Tube ($256,000)
Found inside Bob’s Room (after collecting all rubber ducks), this tube offers the highest weight capacity in the game at 600kg. Perfect for players who want to maximize their haul per dive.
Ruined Tube ($270,000)
The ultimate tube in Abyss, available in the Angler Cave after completing the Lost Captain questline. With 380 oxygen, 650m depth, and 32m/s speed, this tube makes you the master of the abyss.
Optimal Tube Progression Strategy
Based on my extensive gameplay experience, here’s the most cost-effective progression path:
For Beginners: Wooden → Normal → Pufferfish This path skips the less valuable upgrades and gets you to a solid mid-game tube quickly.
For Efficient Players: Wooden → Fire → Boat → Rukiry This progression focuses on reaching key depth milestones that unlock new biomes and fishing opportunities.
For Speed Runners: Wooden → Pufferfish → Zepline → Plane This path prioritizes speed and depth for rapid exploration and progression.
For End-Game Players: Any path → Ruined Tube Ultimately, the Ruined Tube is the best choice for end-game content, offering the best combination of all stats.

Pro Tips for Tube Management
- Don’t Overbuy: It’s tempting to save up for the best tube, but sometimes incremental upgrades provide better value for your current playstyle.
- Depth Over Oxygen: Max depth is almost always more important than oxygen capacity. You can always find air bubbles underwater, but you can’t go deeper than your tube allows.
- Weight Matters Later: Don’t worry too much about weight limit in the early game. Focus on depth first, then upgrade weight capacity once you’re accessing deeper biomes.
- Save for Big Jumps: Sometimes it’s better to save up and skip a tube rather than buying every incremental upgrade.
- Watch for Sales: Keep an eye on the Roblox Abyss codes page for potential discounts or bonuses that might help with tube purchases.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ignoring Depth Limits: Going deeper than your tube allows is a quick way to die and lose progress.
- Overloading: Don’t try to carry more fish than your weight limit allows – the speed penalty can be deadly.
- Skipping Quests: Many of the best tubes are locked behind NPC quests. Make sure to complete these as you progress.
- Forgetting Air Bubbles: These are your lifeline underwater. Learn their locations and use them to extend your diving time.
- Not Planning Ahead: Consider which biomes you want to explore next and choose your tube upgrades accordingly.
