The first weak design of this set. The front motors aren't connected strong to the sub.

The sub can defend itself form monsters, but it can only shoot 4 times. The harpoons need to be reloaded outside again.

These pieces are new to me. Maybe already seen in other sets, but for me it's THE piece for this set.

The end of the building is near. Only the long stickers are hard to apply nicely.

I hoped you enjoyed this review as much I did, while making it. I'm gonna use it for my town while they still build it. Mine town what to explore the ocean floor. Just in case, the sub will be equiped with some weapons, just in case. The divers won't know it, but they will encounter monters around here and need more than the installed weapons. Soon they have to ask help form the powerminers which need to fight against them.
I will make pic's of that later. For now, I'm finish this review.
Rating:
Color scheme: 8/10, looks very good.
Minifigs and accessories: 6/10, to mine opnion it could have more minifigs.
Pieces: 8/10, Very good, only a same they used bionicle pieces.
Playability: 9/10, for a child I think it has a lot of fantasy for playing a lot of adventures.
Design: 6/10, it could have been a little bigger and a room for changing the dive gear. I can't believe they stay many days in the same dive gear.
Overall rating: 9/10, design could have been better and the use of bionicle pieces . More minifigs would have been better for playability.
The final words: Smaller than some of today's promos, but no worse.
