Captivating movie !

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

I started watching Sea Hunt when it was first broadcast when I was in the 6th grade in 1958. The show had a significant impact on my life: from my lifelong use of Vitalis because it was the show's sponsor - to getting a SCUBA diving license on my own time and with my own money when I was in the Air Force in 1969 - to SCUBA diving in Japan: from Hokkaido to Okinawa. I was also motivated to read Lloyd Bridges' book: Mask and Flippers in 1969. The book is Lloyd Bridges' own personal life story with diving - beginning with trying to make a diving bell out of an old boiler or some other form of tank when he was 12 years old. When his father came by that dock and saw some other boys pumping a bicycle pump into a rubber tube, he asked "Where's Lloyd?" They told him, "He's down there. We're pumping air to him." By that time, Lloyd had already passed out since the bicycle pump didn't work for supplying air. His father dove down, pulled him out, and recussitated him. The rest of the book is also filled with rather stupid things that Mike Nelson would have never done - such as diving with ear plugs. The book also answers some key questions that Sea Hunt fans would have, such as "The first rule of diving is always dive with a partner. Why does Mike Nelson dive alone?" Lloyd Bridges' answers: If Mike Nelson dove with a partner, he wouldn't get into the dramatic fixes that are the show. And by seeing Mike Nelson get into those fixes, the audience gets the message to always dive with a partner." Two other things about the show that I noticed were done for dramatic effect: 1: So that we can see his full face, Mike Nelson wears a mask that does not have the equalizers to squeeze his nose so he can equalize his ear tubes for diving more than 9 feet. He'd bust his ear drums below 15 feet. 2: Mike Nelson for dramatic effect swims with his arms grabbing handfuls of water and pulling back. That is an exhausting motion that does not afford much movement at all. I know: I tried it when diving. All of us Sea Hunt fans will always remember Lloyd Bridges' charismatic narrations: "There he was. Being eaten by a giant clam. I knew he was in trouble."

The show's echoed 'bubbling' sound effect used to put me to sleep. A very soothing show. I think I might have slept through the parts where there was danger or peril. I had also heard that some set up shots for a show on sponge divers was shot in Tarpon Springs, Florida. I would assume Lloyd Bridges never dove there. I only remember the show in reruns and although it was never edge-of-the-seat exciting we would make up our own underwater episodes in the lake at my grandmother's house... imagining the echoed bubbling sounds and narrating our adventures in our heads. I thought 'Flipper' had better undersea action. Of course, he had the advantage of being in his natural environment.

I was born in 1951 and grew up watching Sea Hunt. As kids, my brothers and I played "Sea Hunt" in our swimming pool with masks, fins and snorkels, "fixing" things on the swim ladder.While I would love to see a really good remake, I enjoy watching "Deadliest Catch" (Bearing Sea crab fishing), Mega Movers, and other shows on the Discovery, Science and other cable channels. Real people handling technically demanding jobs. I wonder if Sea Hunt paved the way for the interest in this type of "reality" show (as opposed to nonsense like "Survivor").By the way, if anyone knows if the music from the show was ever compiled, I would be very interested. Some of the music was shared with "Men Into Space." The music, in addition to "Mike Nelson's" narration, really made the show for me.

I sure would like to see a resurrection of a up dated Seahunt series with the tech they have today it would bring back the kid excitement in me.I grew up on black and white TV and Seahunt with Gunsmoke were my hero's every week.You have my vote for a comeback of a new sea hunt.We need a change of pace in TV and this would work for a world of under water adventure.Oh by the way thank you for an outlet like this to view many viewpoints about TV and the many movies.So any ole way I believe I've got what I wanna say.Would be nice to read some more plus points about sea hunt.If my rhymes would be 10 lines would you let me submit,or leave me out to be in doubt and have me to quit,If this is so then I must go so lets do it.
