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.
1998 LEGO Sets
1998 marked LEGO’s leap into programmable play with the launch of LEGO Mindstorms, combining motors, sensors, and code for user-built robots. LEGO also entered digital entertainment with games like LEGO Creator, LEGO Loco, and LEGO Chess. New themes included Adventurers, following Johnny Thunder’s global expeditions, and Insectoids, a sci-fi successor to Exploriens. LEGO Castle revisited classic factions such as Crusaders and Dragon Masters, reconnecting with its medieval roots while bridging into modern set design.
