About LEGO Town Divers

LEGO Divers is a subtheme of the Town introduced in 1997 that was based around maritime exploration with all its twelve sets being released in that single year. The Divers theme's sets featured mini submarines, divers and underwater bases as well as surface ships and various forms of sea life. Divers were later replaced under the City theme and renamed Deep Sea Explorers.
1997 LEGO Sets
1997 saw LEGO’s first major sales decline, prompting experimentation and digital expansion. LEGO Island introduced the brand’s first open-world video game, setting the stage for future digital storytelling. New subthemes included Divers for underwater exploration, Fright Knights for gothic medieval fantasy, and Time Twisters as a sequel to Time Cruisers. LEGO Space added Roboforce and UFO, shifting toward alien-focused designs, while Aquazone expanded with Aquaraiders. Despite challenges, LEGO’s creativity remained strong across both physical and emerging digital platforms.
