In San Fierro, focus on the bay area. Check around the shipyards and the coastlines, especially near the Golden Gate Bridge where several oysters can be found.
Las Venturas
Las Venturas has fewer oysters, but you can find some along the edges of the desert near the water bodies, especially around the cliffs of the surrounding areas.
Red County

Countryside
The countryside offers a few hidden spots. Investigate the rivers and streams that flow through the landscape, particularly around the ranches.

Use the map to track which oysters you've collected, making it easier to find the remaining ones.
How to Collect an Oyster
Collecting oysters is straightforward but requires some diving skill.
Swim to the Oyster
Approach an oyster and press the action button to collect it while submerged.
Use a Dive Suit
Consider acquiring a dive suit to enhance your underwater exploration, as it allows you to stay submerged longer.
Look for Visual Cues
Oysters are often nestled on the sea floor or attached to rocks; look for their shiny shells to spot them easily.
Check Your Map
After collecting an oyster, check your map to see which areas still have uncollected oysters.
Collecting Tips
- Use a boat to reach remote areas quickly before diving down.
- Keep an eye on your oxygen meter when exploring underwater.
