Description

Treasure hunting below the surface

The divers line took marine research and treasure seeking into the Town range, and this set picks up that adventure right in its name. With 354 pieces it is mid-sized: enough to put together a vessel or a base with plenty of detail, yet not so large that the build drags on for days. It is a typical play set, where re-enacting dives, salvage jobs and discoveries matters more than leaving the finished model untouched on a shelf.

A lot of variety in neutral tones

White, black, light grey and yellow are the four main colours. They look technical and businesslike, the way you would imagine research gear and diving equipment, while yellow adds a touch of warning-sign brightness. The variety is striking: 140 different parts among only 354 pieces means many elements appear just once or a few times. For collectors that is attractive, because you get an unusually broad mix of specialist parts that basic sets rarely include.

Five divers and crew

Five minifigures give you a decent crew for ship, station and underwater work. You can split them into divers and sailors, stage a race for the treasure, or act out a rescue. Since the figures can take on different roles, the story stays open. If you already own other sets from the divers line, this one complements them well, as the colours and building style match the rest of the series and bring extra people to the scene.

Parts list and new ideas

The complete parts list on this page helps you check a second-hand copy, especially for the small specialist parts that often go missing. If you want to use the bricks elsewhere, “What can I build?” shows which models your collection can make. With such a wide range of different parts, there is a good chance of building something of your own, such as a research vehicle or a harbour building.
