THE SEA HUNT |
|
| |
Long before diving…
became popular and we had learned about many of the inhabitants of our oceans, diving was an activity that only a few brave souls undertook.
Many recreational divers will admit that their first real interest in Scuba diving was because of SEA HUNT.
For those of you too young to remember, SEA HUNT was a first-run syndicated TV series that was originally broadcast for four seasons between 1958 and 1961. |

Mike Nelson, played by Lloyd Bridges, is a Scuba Diver fighting crime underwater in the days when recreational Scuba Diving and TV were still in their infancy.
Bridges explained the plot to the TV audience throughout each show with his memorable mumbling during his never-ending voice-over narrations. People would actually ask Bridges how he could talk like that while he was underwater.
This was the time when the sharks and killer whales were feared, when little was known about the sea, and we were unlikely to know anyone who was a diver.
