I don't have any pros for this one, so we'll skip straight to the cons:

1. Like other reviewers have noted, the toy comes without any packaging, box, plastic bag - nothing. It arrives floating, unprotected, in a manila envelope. Niiiice touch, "bravofun". It may as well have come out of a gumball machine.

2. After winding up the diver... he doesn't really go anywhere. The diver's two flippers move in a repetitive up-down motion, but there isn't any forward propulsion produced. Wind it up and give it a good shove, and he'll still just float there with two vertically-flapping feet. Sort of defeats the whole purpose of a wind-up bathtub toy. Fail.

3. The diver is definitely not watertight. Put it in the water (wound up or not), and he'll suddenly list to one side or the other. This in turn brings one of the flippers nearly or completely out of the water. Even with one flipper out of the water, it still doesn't go anywhere. Fail again.

Bottom line - if you're looking for a relatively fun and engaging bathtub toy for a toddler... keep looking. This was nine bucks tossed out the window.

I expected more junk from abroad but for the cheap price I picked up this and the wind up sub together. I love them both and it's been nearly a month now.

The kids get a kick out of the diver because he kicks those legs. It's a riot. Even if it gets trashed, I'm gonna get another. Both still function fine though.

I also like that it is just a toy, not connected to some TV show or marketing scheme.

Kick little guy kick...then bam..Conor smashes the sub into it...what joyful bath time. Thumbs up.

What a disappointment! This was one of (3) new bath toys that I purchased for my five year old for tub time. All three were basically junk. In this case, the diver can't swim through the water, and just flaps its feet like your child may do at swim class while holding onto the side of the pool.
