Splash Bombs Treasure Chest Pool Diving Toy (8435)

I had so many parents asking me where we got this. We took it with us on a cruise with three boys. Lots of fun creative play!

When I purchased I believe the description mentioned coins and gems in the chest. I received just coins and it appears the description has been updated to reflect this. This is a 40pc set, 1 chest and 39 silver and copper/gold colored coins. The chest is weighted well so it sits on the bottom of the pool nicely but isn't super heavy.The coins are not very heavy, the sink slowly and can float if they lay flat on the water. Waves and current can cause them to move around when on the bottom. If you try to place the coins in the chest while underwater it can be challenging since they are so light. Some will float around and try to swish out as you attempt to close the lid.With so many pieces you can get creative with the games you play. Who can retrieve the most coins in one dive (one breath)? A race where 1 diver recovers silver coins and the other the gold. Spread the coins all over the pool, who can recover the most in 60 seconds, etc.

I have been looking for this kind of dive toy for years! Many I have found are cheap with only a few coins in CVS type places. I was a swimmer and remember diving for real pennies as a child at camp (not to keep but to try and collect the most) and the game would go forever if we had our choice! DON’T use real coins they will end up in your filter!! These are all the size of a silver dollar with 20 labeled 5 gold pennies, and 20 labeled 10 silver nickels. They are enlarged verions of the real thing.I would say it’s more advanced than larger dive toys bc they are smaller and harder to grab. The treasure chest is small and plastic (I could see a child breaking it if pushing too hard to open), but the point of the game is the coins that are perfect! Great game to practice counting/adding (you could even make each coin worth 1 for younger children) but I wouldn’t get it for children who are younger than 6 or unable to hold their breath and grab the larger dive toys. For my niece I throw them in the low end :). Definitely worth it for the coins!!!

Bought this for the grandkids. Absolutely love it. We've come up with so many games to play with these. Highly recommend

Great idea and awesome looking, only complaint is they are heavy enough to sink but when someone swims by them they float off; we have a subdivision pool which goes to 6 feet but I don't let me kids use this when the pools busy because they've lost some pieces because they float away. Great concept and idea but need to be heavier material.

Buy this. Very good quality. These people know how to do it. Best product. Good for our inground pool. Do not put in hot tub. Amazing product. Good. Worth my money.

I purchased this for my 4 year old who is an excellent swimmer. He is also a huge Octonauts fan so the idea of underwater adventure is very popular with him. The whole family has enjoyed diving for the coins and making a contest out of it to see who can collect the most coins during a single dive. Even my 2 year old enjoys the toy despite the fact that he can't dive for the coins. He enjoys throwing them back in the pool and collecting the coins off of the pool steps. The fact that the treasure chest sinks was a big selling point for me and the number of coins that come with the set is great! This toy is worth it!UPDATE: 10/21/13 We got in the pool yesterday after a couple weeks away and this toy was again brought out and enjoyed!

The treasure box is the perfect size for kids. It’s easy to open and the are lots of coins to search in there. It’s perfect for the pool but you can also play with it like that.
