Divers

LEGO Divers was a Lego Town subtheme that was centered around maritime exploration and was introduced in 1997. Its sets featured mini submarines, divers and underwater bases as well as surface ships and various forms of sealife. Unlike the futuristic Aquazone theme the Divers sets were more realistic and set in the present.

The eponymous "divers" of this theme were involved in underwater treasure hunting and the exploration of the sealife, mostly sharks. The design of their equipment is based upon present day technology. The theme was discontinued in 1999.

The 2007 theme Aqua Raiders can be considered a partial revival of Divers. While Aqua Raiders focusses more on treasure hunting than exploration, it still retains a certain level of realism instead of being too futuristic like Aquazone.
