Sea Hunt 2x8 The Search

[@jimsmith6599]

One of the most beautiful things I ever saw was in the kelp “bed” or “forest” off Anacapa Island in a California. The sun filtered through the kelp, highlighting not only the kelp, but the gear and cameras of my diving buddies. But the kelp took one of my friends in 1966. I was diving with other friends at a different site, so I wasn’t with him. He got hung up in the kelp. He was buddied with a civilian dive club member rather than one of us military divers. That club had a reputation of not watching each other, and he ignored it. We never knew the whole story, but he left his wife and two children alone in the world. We all wore our diving knives on the inside of our calf to hopefully not snag kelp as badly. Always blamed myself for not being there, but didn’t even know he was going out with that club. Everyone has to learn lessons, but he learned a bad one.

Skin diving and SCUBA diving are not the same. Thanks Mike Melson.

Gawd I love this show, Mike always has moar air tanks. Watched it like forever

[@billhatter8356]

Thanks for the Sea Hunt episodes. Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) I've been watching since the early 60's, I have been a certified diver since 76. Wish they would create another Sea Hunt TV Series, that would be Awesome 👍🦈

[@randallsmith5037]

With you they need to make a new Sea Hunt series fashioned after the original one. I've also been watching see him since the early sixties and it eventually led me to becoming a commercial diver and worked all over the world

[@billhatter8356]

@@randallsmith5037 Hey Randall, that's awesome you became a commercial diver, I was going to and wanted too also... I went down other roads of employment... Power & communication line construction, logging, ,, Diesel mechanic, and in machine shops repairing machines until I retired a couple years ago... But my love for diving has always stayed with me... I've been a Pacific Northwest diver since 76, Puget Sound,, ,, Rives,, Lakes,, creeks,, ponds,, and any where else I could find to dive. All the dives were awesome, lots of fun times, with all the learning experience & excitement... But as you know there are those times that can down right scare the crap out of a guy... The saying goes stop, think, get control, stay cool, if plan A is not going well,, time for plan B ... I remember trying to think like Mike Nelson in Sea hunt,,, a few times...what would he do in a situation like this... As you know better than I, being a commercial diver..Night dives are a whole new exciting real different world . ( Jacustou ) the Frenchman, I never remember how to spell his name,, but always admired and had lots of respect for his knowledge of diving and watching him on TV.... Both Lloyd bridges ( Sea hunt ) and Jacustou ??

I went to highline community college back in the early seventies, that was a great time, I remember driving into Seattle and seeing a billboard saying last one to leave Seattle please turn out the lights, I'd love to go up to the San Juan Islands and go wreck diving, amazing how fast the years go by, have a nice day

[@billhatter8356]

@@randallsmith5037 When I lived in Everett I used to go diving up on Whidbey Island 🏝️ often. I did many dives around the Island .. The north end of the Island was one of my favorite places to go diving at, lots of marine life to see, Octopus, wolf eels, so many different kinds of 🐟 fish, whales, seals, dog sharks the list goes on & on, Sea plants, carbs you can pick up off the bottom... Day & night dives, wrecks dives, so much to see there and all over P.S. Everett,

[@billhatter8356]

More to be revealed next time... I am thinking you got some good stories from when you were commercial diving.... With mixed gases and maybe did some old hard hat diving.. I met a few several old hard hat divers from the 50' & 60's & two from the ot a couple tanks I'm taking in next Tuesday to be hydro tested, then a couple more after that... Always someone who wants to get that exciting first time feel of scuba diving

[@bayoupirate3808]

Thanks Keylie, these shows make my day!!!

[@jimkelley1000]

Gawd bless Mike Nelfish!

[@brianfuller5868]

Good episode. Good basic diving here and I love the use of slates and hand signs in the series. Even in 2018, we can't always rely on tech.

[@johnbockelie3899]

After he's rescued he tells his wife about that big insurance policy he signed before they went diving.

[@sheddski2942]

I loved to see how there was no fiberglass boats all wood some of the styles I’ve seen rotting in fields or chopped up and burned seeing them in running condition on this show seems sad I guess I was born to late to live this era

[@angelamagruder5911]

Thank you Jesus for that saving rescue.

[@-oiiio-3993]

Thank the script wrier.

La bella Jan Harrison, estuvo casada con Carroll Shelby, el disenador del auto Cobra. Ella todavia vive a los 95 anos. Ahora el episodio tiene 60 anos.

[@MisterMasterShafter1]

Jan Harrison's in about every third episode so far, but I don't mind.

[@GoodVideos4]

5:30 it would soon be dark - Must be winter time.

[@GoodVideos4]

Kelp is also in cold ocean currents.

[@danielbills5330]

I just saw the slap, great idea on Mike's behalf.

[@randybarnett2308]

@My Name couldn't do that nowadays😀😀

[@daisyflowers9334]

***** Mike Nelson wasn't slapping her to be slapping her. It was an accepted method, to bring someone out of hysteria. She was hysterical and being a hindrance to the successful rescue of her Husband. He even agreed to her going down to participate, in the search, for her Husband, resulting in him having to bring her back to the surface, therefore losing precious time.

[@JAYJason6666]

No doubt a spanking was going down if she didn't snap out of it after that slap...

[@BikeVermont71]

These episodes are a great school of diving. Don't do like Mrs. Morgan, turning and twisting as you swim in the kelp.

[@cmendla]

Didn't they go back down for the bass?

Always carry TWO knives.

[@seikibrian8641]

Yep, or two knives/cutters of some sort. I carry three: a knife on my BCD's left side, heavy-duty scissors in my right BCD pocket, and a line cutter (seatbelt cutter) on the BCD's lower-right D-ring.

[@richardcurrin8940]

Morgan's mask was off but when Mike frees him he has a mask on. Blooper or did we just not see Mike put the mask on DAN?

[@richardcurrin8940]

Actually Dan surfaced without a mask so blooper it is

[@danielbills5330]

I know a script comes into play but I think Mike did a wrong thing by letting her go down with them.

[@sheddski2942]

So primitive compared to today’s technology scuba was fairly new back in 58 Jacques Cousteau in 1945 invented self breathing apparatus’s untill then you had a very heavy suit and helmet screwed on and was lowered by a crane or winch with air plumbed in
