I've got 4 volumes of Sea Hunt from e-Bay. I have successfully brainwashed my kids with Mike Nelson.

I don't have the CD's but I have personalized tags on my truck that say Seahunt. That is what I haul around my Voit 50 Fathom doublehose reg in.
Guess I need to get some.

Hey .... someone should have PM me that they started another thread about "Sea Hunt". It's one of my all time favorite shows .... that and "Hawaii Five-0".
Luis,
The Amazon set IS better in picture quality, though not complete. You can find the same DVDs from the same seller on eBay for quite a bit cheaper. Look for them.
It's funny, before watching Sea Hunt I had all the confidence in the world in my equipment and abilities. After watching all the Sea Hunt episodes last Summer, I often felt apprehensive and doubted myself! I mean, in Sea Hunt, every dive had some disaster or difficulty. I'm back to normal now- whatever that is.
Oh, and divers actually did (do?) prospect for oil with a small hand pick. I suppose a knife could do the trick as well, eh?

I just bought the 4 volume set too, they owe you a commision fishb0y!
I've been looking for these in Canda since last year. Nobody up here carries it.
That sequence, of the oil prospectors with a pick, apparently was given to the show by Socony Mobile Oil Co., Inc. The exact same equipment configuration, with triangular masks, single tanks using the original net harness, and Scott Paks is on page 64 and 65 of Rick and Barbara Carrier's book, dive, the complete book of skin diving, first editionWilfred Funk, Inc., New York, 1957.
The other interesting thing to me was to see Mike Nelson in a DESCO ffm, with a line to the surface, in the opening sequence.

That is exactly what I was looking at when I made that reference, but I remember another picture better- undoubtedly from the same photo shoot. The similar photo is in the 1957 World Book Encyclopedia under "Skin Diving", and is credited to Socony-Vacuum Oil Company. The diver is the one using a double hose regulator and triangular mask. That is the picture that is etched in my mind from my childhood encyclopedia safaris.
