The theme comprised of seven sets, ranging from a small Deep Sea Treasure Hunter to a much larger Aqua Base. Aqua Raiders was one of the latest in a long line of underwater themes that goes back to 1995 when Aquazone was introduced. Unlike Aquazone, which was exclusively futuristic, Aqua Raiders was more reminiscent of a mix of that theme and Divers from 1997, a Town subtheme that featured present-day divers that went on underwater treasure hunts and explored the sea. Unlike their predecessors, the divers of Aqua Raiders were only seeking treasure. The background story reveals that the theme is set in the Bermuda Triangle, where the divers utilize high-tech submarines and other special equipment to look for the lost treasure of an ancient king.
Most of the sets followed a common scheme. They contained the Aqua Raiders with a vessel of some kind, a segment of seafloor where a treasure was hidden and also a monstrous sea creature that stood between the divers and their loot. Other than those sea monsters, the sets did not include many other creatures. It is possible that the divers were searching for Atlantis and came very close to finding it, since the Diver Skeleton in the Portal of Atlantis set has an Aqua Raiders helmet and in LEGO Atlantis: The Movie, they are on a mission to salvage a sub that turns out to be the Crab Crusher set. The Aqua Raiders have a variety of weapons and vehicles, which, according to the Aqua Raiders website, is the latest technology developed for underwater exploration. Some of the subs were reminiscent of older LEGO vessels. Among them were two mini-submarines (included in 7775 Aquabase Invasion and 7776 The Shipwreck), which were slightly similar to the subs from Divers, a large submarine which essentially resembled a Creator set but had a more spacious and detailed interior, and a sleek combat-submarine, which shared some design traits with the subs from Alpha Team Mission Deep Sea.
The complement of vehicles also comprised an underwater rover with robot arms and several scooters. The diving gear (helmets, scuba-tanks and flippers) was the same that already appeared in Divers ten years earlier, with different colours. The same applies to the handheld harpoon guns. The subs and the base were equipped with spring-loaded guns that shot rubber-tipped projectiles. The Aqua Raiders minifigures used unique torso pieces that were printed on both the front and the back. They also had black helmets printed with a blue trident on the top. There were four different heads used for the minifigs, and all of them had already appeared in earlier themes, such as Mars Mission.

Lego Aqua Raiders 7775 Aquabase Invasion With poseable tentacles and a skeleton in its transparent belly, the giant squid will be tough for the Aquabase crew to beat.
Deep beneath the ocean's surface, the Aqua Raiders have set up their new headquarters. With the Lego Aquabase Invasion kit, the Raiders finally have all they need to complete their secret mission, including a vehicle dock, control station, crane arm, and exploration pod. Ideal for young adventurers ages eight to fourteen, this LEGO set will encourages imagination and is fun to build. Meet the Aqua Raiders With this action-oriented set there is no limit to the adventures the child can embark on. Four diver mini-figures, a giant squid and skeleton are included, as well as a base with a vehicle dock, control station, crane arm, mini-sub launching ramp, firing aqua rocket, and exploration pod. What's that lurking in the distance, moving toward the base in an ominous inky cloud? Oh no, the Aquabase is under attack by a giant squid! Good thing the base is protected by harpoon cannons and a firing aqua-rocket because this sea-monster is huge. Posable tentacles and a skeleton trapped inside this beast's transparent belly intimidate the young explorers, but they can fight back or escape with their high-tech equipment.
Will the Raiders survive or meet their untimely demise? The giant squid's tentacles really open and close, so that it can grasp the Raiders. But luckily the Raiders can fire back using the working harpoon, or quickly escape with the mini-sub launching ramp. When the monster finally leaves, the Raiders can enjoy a cup of coffee at the control panel or take the exploration pod for an undersea mission. This cool under-sea set offers a project for parents and children to construct together. Like many LEGO products, it is both easy to assemble and durable. Other Aqua Raiders sets can be joined with this one for more action and adventure. Kids love to play with the giant squid and ride the divers around in the pod. Overall, this set is amusing, realistic, and a great value for the years of excitement it provides. (But be careful, this product has small parts and is not for use with children under age three.) What's in the Box 4 diver mini-figures, giant squid, skeleton, vehicle dock, control station, crane arm, mini-sub launching ramp, firing aqua rocket, and exploration pod.
