LEGO released the Aqua Raiders theme in 2007 which was comprised of seven sets and no subthemes as the theme was later discontinued the same year. Most of the sets followed a common scheme consisting of the Aqua Raiders with a vessel, a piece of sea floor where a treasure was hidden and a monstrous sea creature that stood between the divers and their loot. The general story was about the divers of Aqua Raiders seeking treasure in the Bermuda Triangle, where they utilize high-tech submarines and special equipment to look for the lost treasure of an ancient king.
