I have all the Divers sets, too, except the one with metroliner front as a
cabin. I like them much, especially during this sad times of juniorization.
The most irritating thing is that the boats are not much detailed, even they
just look like small fisherman vessels, instead of research vessels.
Submarines included are nice and very realistic looking so no need to be
improved, but a "research boat only" set using same amount of parts used in
larger sets of the series would be very nice, and another concern maybe the
lack a full featured base set.
Very nice theme anyway
