Diver's Distress

Though very hard to find on the card, Diver's Distress (7328-6) is a pretty minimal set, consisting of red shorts and face mask, white scuba tanks with an open-back regulator, an unpainted spear gun, and the saddest of  all the Adventure Team animal opponents, a tiny squid, not nearly as fierce as it's big brother from the Fantastic Sea Wolf.  The squid isn't even molded in three dimensions, it has an open back.  The set is reported to have a few variations, including silver diver tanks, yellow fins, and a pinkish face mask.  To my knowledge, these variations have not shown up in a sealed set, though they are available in other configurations, such as the Defenders Sea Recovery (silver tanks), Action Man scuba sets (yellow fins), and knock-off scuba gear (the pink mask) so the jury is still out on how authentic they are.  The card show below is shared courtesy of  Jake's Toy Chest.  Check out his eBay auctions here.  If you can help the site by providing an image of the set with  silver tanks, please contact me.

​Collector Eddie Perez shared the photos below and right of an example of the set with yellow fins.    If anyone has evidence of the set being sold with silver tanks, please contact me.
