I find the best way to "use" the sets is to combine them with the pirate theme
(whice I don't have much of) in sort of a "sunken ship" diorama. This
enhances the fun of the set a lot. I don't actually understand why this
didn't occur more to TLC when creating the sets as they have a treasure chest
stuck in the jaws of the bones of a giant fish, but not from a wrecked ship
(with skeleton!). This is especially odd since the two themes were close to
each other in dates. I think they could have sold a lot more divers that way
through sort of a cross-pollination.
