Recommendation: meh 4.8 / 5 from 13 reviews

My son put this together right away when it came. He was so focused on getting all put together. There were some challenging parts for him — he is only 6 years old, but in general the pictures allowed him to easily put it together himself which he likes to do. He really does enjoy playing with it even after it is put together which is not always the case with other Legos he has put together. He likes how it can come apart into separate little underwater vehicles. He likes the colorful gems as well.

Recommendation: no 70 / 100 by Tom

Sadly, I do not enjoy the Ocean Exploration Base (60265). After last year's Lunar Space Station, this set really falls flat. It lacks a sense of completion and a lot of detail. The set is also expensive for what you get. The brick count is low, and the build time is not proportional to the price.
