Nickel can be found as pickable deposits in the Lost River, at least if you choose the north-east entrance (directly east of the peak of the northern island, in the Bulb Bush Zone). It's accessible by Seamoth. That Seamoth can take you to the border of the ILZ*, and from there you can swim down and build a small scanning outpost. Your inventory is just big enough to hold a Seaglide and the necessary materials.

There are at least 12 kyanite deposits that can be hand-picked, and they're all inside the Lava Castle. That's enough for all the Cyclops and Prawn upgrades.


 * Park on the south side of the pit. There's a little hump that'll keep the big angry fish from swatting your moth through the ground.
