Dunno. Divers just seems to be a well thought out and implemented series. And oddly enough, I only like the true 'Divers' sets, not the various '*nauts'. Probably doesn't hurt that I live near various fresh and salt water dive spots :) The one set I (...) (25 years ago, 22-Sep-99, to lugnet.people)
