LEGO 60263 Ocean Mini-Submarine 

LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions for the LEGO City set "Ocean Mini-Submarine".

Discover the mysteries of the sea with this cool LEGO City Ocean Mini-Submarine. Open the mini-sub's bubble cockpit and venture to the seabed! Wow! An old treasure chest! Maneuver the propeller-driven craft into position and use the inspection arms to retrieve the diamonds. But watch out for the hammerhead shark circling the sub! It's just another day for a LEGO City Ocean explorer.

On the box cover, the submarine pilot Minifigure is aboard the Mini-Submarine exploring the sea, floating down from the top right corner. The underwater vehicle is bright yellow, has a huge transparent bubble cockpit in the middle front and two black propellers at the back, and the top of the minisub is white and dark blue. At the bottom left, they have just discovered a treasure chest with beautiful diamonds in it! Wow! One of the diamonds is already in the inspection arm for closer inspection. And at the bottom right, there is a magnificent hammerhead shark floating in the sea.

Open the box. This can be tricky; ask someone to help you!

The box contains a booklet with visual building instructions, one plastic bag, and three loose elements: the shark body, the bubble cockpit and the submarine bottom.
