“All the sets in this theme are marked as National Geographic Explorers, therefore, I wanted to believe that this label will mean that set details are fully worked out. This set has some flaws, despite this, it is pretty good, but I can't say so about the whole series.”

“Much like the Lunar Space Station, the Ocean Exploration Base consists of three main modules. Additionally, the modules are re-arrangeable on a mounted platform. The first module features crew quarters. The crew quarters are only a single bedroom. In addition to the five... More Minifigures, the set comes with two large animals.”
