Nail Biting Episode of Seahunt

[ocean man]

Sea hunt was way before my time but i own the whole set and watch them regularly.

A mask on the forehead was an invitation to loosing the mask by wave action.

Or getting it slapped off by an instructor.

As for the single 72 canvas basket style harness, you can't wear a weight belt on the outside unless it is one of simonbeans' great reproduction basket harnesses with the safety modification. Be sure to ask for it.

He would get something slapped in return....

In "Girl in the Trunk" he exits the water at the end with the regulator mounted upside down on the tank as he walks across the stage.

I also saw this on a poster by Coca Cola where a man is presented a Coke by the girl friend after spear fishing. The Healtways SCUBA is mounted upside down.

I remember that.

I think my favorite episode though is, "Rapture of the Deep". I like all the goofy behavior they attribute to narcosis. "You mean there wasn't a giant squid?"

One other thing that you see over and over again on those old episodes are the tanks drifting around all over the place on peoples backs. It's like no one bothered adjusting the straps.

Who had instructors back then? I dove all through the 60s without ever even meeting one! Didn't get introduced to my first until I had to get certified when I moved to Catalina in 1969.

As for the position of the J-valve rod, I wish I had checked mine a bit more carefully on one of my dives. Both mine and my student's got pulled in the kelp before we descended to 90 ft to take a shot of a worm with a Nikonos. My bad.

OK, so now a big storm is moving in with the possibility of sub zero temps. So now I am watching my collection of Sea Hunt. Just finished the rapture of the deep episode. Now watching the Mark of the Octopus.

The worm had a Nikonos? Man, that is a well equiped worm.

Here is a photo of Betty Frazee Haskins who played the stunt part of the "Girl in the Trunk". She is shown with a participant at the 50th Anniversary of Sea Hunt in Silver Springs.
