Animal Crossing: New Horizons | How to catch the gigas giant clam
The gigas giant clam can be caught after you’ve purchased a diving suit from Nook’s Cranny. You can then swim in the sea (press A near it) and start diving (press Y while in the sea).
After diving, you’ll be able to catch sea creatures. To do this, you must swim towards the shadows on the ocean floor. These shadows will be indicated by bubbles appearing on the sea surface. You will automatically dive for and catch one of the sea creatures after swimming above its shadow.
