The '''Aquanauts''' are a subtheme of the [[Aquazone[[ theme. They are a group of miners based at the Neptune Discovery Lab ([[6195]]), who utillise submarines and submersibles of all shapes and sizes to look for Hydrolator crystals, presumably to make oxygen, or to sell.

Concurrent faction(s):

Aquasharks

The Aquanauts are one of the two factions that appeared with the introduction of Aquazone in 1995.

The Hydronauts from 1998 were called Aquanauts outside the US.

Details

In the original Aquazone line, the heroic Aquanaut miners fought against the villainous Aquasharks and their leader Thresher for control of the crystal mines. The Aquanauts were a group of miners based at the Neptune Discovery Lab, who utillised submarines and submersibles of all shapes and sizes to look for Hydrolator crystals, presumably to make oxygen, or to sell.

The yellow base colour of the subs and the bowl-shaped cockpit pieces gave the Aquanauts a rather realistic appearance that was close to actual mini submarines. However, the second wave in 1996 brought a vessel that featured wheels.

Some Aquanaut-Unique pieces

With the Aquanaut range came all sorts of new pieces, most notably the printed control panels and hinged panels, as pictured below. The Large Transparent Blue Dome is thought to be a new piece for Aquazone too. Many fans were pleased the panels were printed and did not rely on stickers.

One of the most important pieces introduced, in Aquazone, both for Aquazone and many other themes, was Part 52. These were Silver Crystals, which have been used in a large number or themes (and all of the Aquazone subthemes), ranging from Rock Raiders in 1999 to Power Miners in 2009.
