- "Awooga!"
- ―DiveMan, Mega Man Battle Network 6
DiveMan.EXE (ダイブマン Daibuman) is a WWW NetNavi that appears in Mega Man Battle Network 6 and operated by Captain Blackbeard.
Appearance
DiveMan is somewhat similar to his Robot Master counterpart. He has a black body, blue head, a white face, a periscope connected on top of his head, blue bracers, white hands, blues legs with propellers under his feet, and a smoke pipe on his mouth. His torso shapes like a submarine with a gray collar, gray area on the bottom, blue area on the top, and a yellow tip at the front end. He has gray areas on his legs, arms, and lower torso and also a gray vertical line on each of his arms.
His Navi mark has a yellow surrounding and seemingly represents a periscope merging out of water. The Navi mark is located on each side of DiveMan's head.
History
Mega Man Battle Network 6
Blackbeard uses DiveMan to open the gates on the animals pens at the aquarium. After defeating DiveMan, MegaMan started the feeding time chime, causing the animals to return to their enclosures, and allowing for the staff to better restore order.
Afterwards, DiveMan is seen and fought when he cooperates with BlastMan in kidnapping Roll, GutsMan, and Glide. They transport them to the Undernet and challenge MegaMan to get his friends back. Despite having a two vs. one advantage, they are both deleted.
Because of both his deletion as well as his operator, Blackbeard's arrest alongside Mayor Cain, he is the only one of the anti Baryl faction of WWW to not rematch MegaMan at the Expo nearing the end of the game.
Locations
DiveMan's EX version can be found in Seaside Area 1. After defeating it, his SP version can be randomly encountered in the same place. His RV version in Graveyard 1 possesses 1900 HP.

Rockman.EXE Beast
He appears with Captain Kurohige in Beyondard. Together with Chirol and CircusMan, they control a castle that also serves as a prison for those opposing the Glaga's army, since both Kurohige and Chirol are under the orders of Zoano DarkMan of Glaga.
When Zoano DarkMan is beaten, DiveMan allows Chirol and Kurohige to board him and leave. They are then hired by Beyondard's Dr. Wily in order to capture Trill and bring him to Wily. DiveMan takes profit of a clash between the two Cyber Beasts to kidnap Trill and take him away.
When things look awry, Kurohige and Chirol make a run for it with an aerial machine, but, because of a bomb Dark Kirisaki placed earlier, they veer off-course and crash-land on Earth, Onibi Island, to be exacts.
Rockman.EXE Beast+
Captain Kurohige and Chirol, along with DiveMan and CircusMan, are approached by BubbleMan and try to build different versions of Copyroids, which end failing due to the efforts of both Netto and Enzan.
They then try to get help from the original Dr. Wily, but when he refuses, they steal what they think to be Synchro Chips, but are in truth Reverse Synchro Chips. They are sent to the Cyber World and have trouble with viruses until Rockman, ShadowMan and Wily help them escape. Tired from their presence, Wily sends them to work at an aquarium. They are not seen again.

Trivia
- Until Blast Man in Mega Man 11, DiveMan was the only WWW Navi in Mega Man Battle Network 6 with a Robot Master counterpart.
- In-game DiveMan's legs are always underwater, even in the Undernet.
- In the media he's been portrayed in, DiveMan has a unique speech quirk. In the games, he ends most of his sentences with "Awooga!" (in the North American release), whereas in Rockman.EXE Beast, he ends most sentences with "De a~ru" (which is his original speech quirk in the Japanese release of Rockman.EXE 6).
- According to the Mega Man Battle Network Official Complete Works, the smoking pipe in DiveMan's mouth is not full of tobacco, but cyber mint.
