Hollywood dive movies?

[Chief Dave L]

Well I must say she is pretty easy on the eyes. The Deep is a great underwater movie but the eye candy certainly made it better.

Thanks for the recommendation Chief Dave, sounds like you might have a thing for Halle Berry

Dark Tide (Halle Berry) 2012 just went on my Netflix Queue.

I have seen one on TCM with a title sort of like: Boy on a dolphin It stars a young Sophia Lauren and takes place in Greece where a wreck and a priceless statue are found. Two parties fight over the statue and wreck and try to out swindle the others. Great diving scenes and Sophia in a bathing suit.

It's not scuba, but the credits sequence at the start of Skyfall (2012) has a couple of remarkable underwater images. I thing they're inteded to invoke many of the previous movies in the franchise. I've had the pleasure of diving and exploring three underwater sets of older James Bond movies, after they were done filming.

Good movie. Those small triple-manifolded tanks really set the era. And, of course, no BCs.

Does anyone know which James Bond Movies contain diving sequences?

So far we only have Thunderball on the list.

Off the top of my head, Tomorrow Never Dies is another of them. It was neat to cruise into the same "submarine missle rack room" as in the movie. Of course, the sets are degrading, as they were not built very deep.

For the others, I can remember the Bond girls but not much else . . .

What was the one where he surfaces and doffs his drysuit to reveal a perfect tux?

I don't suppose Octopussy counts for this thread, as he's motoring on the surface inside a fake crocodile.

Hope this helps,
Bryan

Thanks for the James Bond updates, I was pretty sure there were more than one with Scuba scenes. The 007 films are great for underwater action. Keep em coming.

I just watched "Dark Tide" (2012) This is a full on Scuba movie filmed off of Capetown, South Africa. Halle Berry freedives with great white sharks while her support team is on Scuba. An overambitious client hires her to take him diving outside the cage with the great white sharks. An excellent Scuba movie.

I don't think this one has been mentioned. (Although not Hollywood!)
