Really? I love Divers, but I was disappointed by the set designs. Not
that the models were bad, they were very good. There was too much
repetition between the sets. Too many nearly-identical submersibles. Too
many SPUD[1] rafts.
Almost every set was a Boat/Sub/Seafloor. Which is nice, if you're only
going to buy one set, because you get a complete playset in one shot. But
for the rest of us, it just dilutes the theme.
I would have prefered designs which focused on one thing, and didn't try to
be a complete playset. So one set would be a really cool boat, another
would be a great sub, and there would be a really nice seafloor set as
well.

I feel 1782, 6560 (Diving Expedition Explorer) and 6441 (Deep Reef Refuge)
are the best of the Divers sets.
I like 1782 because it is a neat set, and because it is *different* from
the other Divers sets. The sub is white, it has a *somewhat* different
design than the other subs in the theme, the research platform is unique
and cool, in lego's selective-compression manner.
