Diver Down (ダイバー・ダウン, Daibā Daun) is the Stand of Narciso Anasui, featured in Stone Ocean. It is implied that Anasui developed this Stand before his incarceration.
Diver Down appears as a humanoid attired with a highly stylized set of SCUBAW gear. Its body is patterned with a distinctive "D"-like symbol.
Diver Down is consistently portrayed as blue-green across media featuring it.
Diver Down is a close-range Stand which is fairly powerful in close-combat (it is able to decapitate someone with a single chop), but whose strength resides in its set of abilities that allow it to easily take advantage of the environment, making Diver Down a reliable ally during a fight.
Stand Power StorageDiver Down's first shown ability is to store its strikes on any surface.
When Diver Down hits something with a punch or a kick, the force of the impact is "stored" inside the object. Whenever Anasui wills it, the accumulated energy can be released outside of the object in the form of Diver Down's corresponding limb punching or kicking from inside the object.
Alternatively, Anasui can put Diver Down inside someone's body, so that whatever damage the target suffers will be transferred to Diver Down instead, protecting them from harm. If need be, Diver Down can become a part of the person and replace a lost limb.
RestructuringDiver Down's signature ability is to phase through solids and then freely change their insides.
By plunging inside an object or person, Diver Down can freely manipulate their internal structure; either to destroy them or piece them together anew. It can even dive into Stands to modify their structures, as when Anasui grafted a frog's brain into Yo-Yo Ma.
- "Where Have All the Good Times Gone!" Four years after issuing "You Really Got Me" as their first single, Van Halen pilfered the Kinks' catalog once again for the opening track on Diver Down.
- "Hang 'Em High" The fastest, heaviest rocker on Diver Down, "Hang 'Em High" was originally recorded with different lyrics under the title "Last Night" for consideration on Van Halen's debut album.
- "Cathedral" The traditional instrumental number on Diver Down was far removed from the breakneck shredding of "Eruption" and "Spanish Fly," but no less compelling.
- "Secrets" Van Halen didn't agonize over the swinging, languid "Secrets." The lyrics were inspired by a series of greeting cards Roth bought in Albuquerque, N.M., written in the style of Indigenous poetry.
