Sea Hunt sarcasm? That’s almost blasphemous
When touring a Navy dive facility, it is probably wise to defer to the expertise of Navy divers…No sarcasm at all.
Lloyd Bridges did have balsa tanks made, and it doesn't seem that he took the show too seriously.
When people asked him diving questions--as happened when he toured a Navy diving facility--he reminded them he was just an actor who pretended to be a diver.
Apparently, he never dove deeper than 30 feet until after the show had run its course.
My office is about 1 mile from there. They’ve done a great job with that place and keep making improvements all the time. Most recent is a waterfall aeration on the parking side and some interesting paddle fish.
Let me know next time you’re around and if I’m not already planning to be there I’ll make new plans.
