Lego Maniacs' Guide
“The sub is really cool; the mini-figs' heads are well designed; neat sea creatures; nice SCUBA equipment; stickers are optional. It comes with three sea creatures: a dark gray shark, a white shark, and a gray swordfish. This is a great set. If you're the slightest bit... More interested in Divers, get this set. Not only do you get some neat sub pieces, but you get sharks.”

Brickipedia
“The small submarine is identical to the one from 6557 Treasure Hunters. It doesn't have any internal space besides the cockpit and has only enough room for one Minifigure but can't transport any cargo. It is equipped with an external camera, a searchlight and features a... More propeller at the rear. The cockpit is protected by a dome-shaped window, as all other LEGO Divers submarines, and contains a lever.”
