About Divers
Underwater adventures in Town
For two years, Town turned its attention to the sea. The Divers sets follow scientists and treasure hunters exploring reefs from boats and seabed stations, with sharks and sting rays among the animals they meet. Set names such as Shark Cage Cove and Deep Sea Bounty sum up the mix of research and treasure hunting. Because the subtheme ran so briefly, it is best known today among collectors of vintage Town. The sets combine surface vessels with seabed scenery, so a small display can show both at once.
