Almost ready to get rid of them. The children fight over them in the pool. They way they horde then you would think they were real.But they are a great pool diving items. Although the clear ones can be a bit hard to see underwater.

I could buy my daughter expensive, battery operated trending toys and she would never love them and enjoy them the way she does some gems in a box! Great for swimming, but also great for open ended play with kids. My 5 year old and 9 year old play with them constantly in all their imagination play. The quality of the gems and chest are great! Highly recommend this product

My kids have definitely been entertained by these. They’re 5 and 8 and it’s been fun diving for them. They’re large enough they are easy to grab. However, they’re just big enough that they can really only play with maybe 2-3 at once before it’s to many to hold in their hands. The wooden trunk is so cute but not necessarily durable for pool toys. We use it inside to hold my son’s little treasure and have the gems in a separate pool friendly bag.

Diving Gem Pool Toy was a big hit with the kids, 3 and 5. They did not use it in a pool but they loved the "pirate's treasure" and spent hours sorting it, hiding it, trading it and enjoying it. It's an inexpensive toy but made well. The jewels are shiny, colorful plastic and great for stimulating imagination. I recommend.

The treasure box and the number of “gems” is great. It’s a really cute gift however each gem has a damage spot like it was taken off the mold incorrectly. Also, the gems are scratched and it is disappointing because it is a gift for my grandson who wants big, shiny “gems” like the Sonic Dash chaos emerald (iykyk) but if you are buying them as diving toys then it is great, so it just depends on how you intend to use them. I did exchange them but the 2nd box was the same.

The Diving Gem toy is so much more than just a pool toy! My almost six year old grandson was totally delighted with the gems and treasure chest. The toy can be enjoyed in a shallow pool or bath tub. The gems are also great for imaginative play. I gave my grandson a surprise gem each day and he was totally delighted with each one. He was also very excited to get the treasure chest, which is very well made, to put all of the gems in. Finally, he asked me if I could bring him another treasure chest and gems on my next visit. These gems are very well constructed and durable and the treasure box will last for years of play. I found this to be a very well priced toy that will last a long time. I was thrilled with the quality of this toy and will buy more in the future.

Wow what a fun toy! Every time my son and I bring these to the city pool kids love playing with them. They’re so pretty and shiny and very fun to see on the bottom of the pool. Kids beg us to let them play with them, to which we always oblige. We do lose some because our city pool is huge and very deep, also it’s possible some kids are taking them, but I bought extra and will buy more. They’re also fun to treasure hunt with in our yard, and play pirates. Really one of the best toys I’ve bought for my five year old. He has been diving like a pro because of these gems. I get compliments on his skills all the time. Bigger kids are impressed he can dive down and get the diamonds so quickly. One kid, whose is Eleven, said “how does your son swim down so fast?” I said practice and he loves his diving diamonds, which is what we call them. And my kid loves them so much he calls them his diamonds! And I pretend like they’re real, so it’s really fun! I hope other people will enjoy them as much as we do!! Cheers from Arkansas! And make it a great summer!

I am a swimmer, swim instructor, have a pool, and 3 boys (ages 5, 8, 13) who are swimmers. We have many diving rings/games, but I got these because my 5 year old is still learning about breath control in the water, and my other sons were too quick getting the rings; he was getting discouraged. There are a decent amount of gems in the box, and he was so happy to get 2-3 out of the 15. I see others have commented that the gems are easily scratched and/or chipped; they are plastic, so it’s to be expected and doesn’t bother my kids. They are sturdy and durable, though; my kids were throwing them out of the pool onto the concrete. I also tell them to keep the treasure chest out of the water because it doesn’t feel like it would take constant water exposure well (not quite wood, not plastic). The learning achieved through play is the most important to me. In less than 2 weeks, my youngest can now get 3-6 gems in one breath and doesn’t hesitate to go under head first. He is playing while learning his limits, and to me as a mother, the joy and comfort of watching your child learn that the water is fun but also something you need to be careful around/learn your limits is priceless. For my older kids, this is just a new game that is different from the rings they use, and I’ve noticed more imaginative play from them in using these.Highly recommend, very happy with them.
