Scuba Forum / General / November 2007Please Share Sea Hunt Memories
As many of you know, I help out with the Underwater Videographer Podcast at www.underwatervideographer.tv. We are planning a special Sea Hunt 50th Anniversary Special in December. Many of you, like me, developed the interest in diving from watching Sea Hunt. As part of the Special, I wanted to give any of you the opportunity to share any memories of Sea Hunt or Lloyd Bridges. Also, you may want to share how the Show influenced you into diving. I plan to read the best ones on the Podcast intro. Thank you for your help. > As many of you know, I help out with the Underwater Videographer > Podcast at www.underwatervideographer.tv.

While I was too young to remember any of the episodes, it was fun watching them again, especially after getting my C-card. It's interesting to note that not only was the show exciting, but it was also educational and at times very funny. I think the show was the first time I heard the term "the bends." I will say I did have visions of the show when I first strapped on a bcd and tank. I wondered why I couldn't run around like Mike Nelson (geez, he must have been strong) only to find his tanks were made of balsa wood.

I think I watched every episode when I was a kid and it would be great to see them again, even if it was fake diving.

There was some fellow here several years ago who was selling them. I bought about a dozen VHS tapes from him. Each tape had about 4-5 episodes on them. I always enjoyed seeing flip the tank over his head without cracking seven vertabrae. I still can't figure out how people who got into trouble underwater were able to make pony bottles last the two hours it took for Mike Nelson to come to their rescue. I wonder what ever became of those tapes...

I remember reading some stuff about Bridges not being a diver prior to doing the show. JF >>>Where did you find 'em? I'd love to get a set to watch.

He had never dived before Sea Hunt. Early on, Courtney Brown and Zale Parry gave him quick pool lessons, enough that underwater closeups could be shot. Just before the series ended, he took the full scuba course and got certified. After the series ended, Bridges did do some diving. esg >>>>Where did you find 'em? I'd love to get a set to watch.

One of the episodes I saw included Beau, as a child. Lost his bike at the bottom of the "sea" and "Mike" went down and got it for him. |
