Now to one of my favorite scenes! Female scuba divers in full-face masks are pretty rare in movies, especially regarding scenes where there is any real ACTION underwater.
Here we have actually a scuba fight scene with a female diver wearing an FFM!
Preview:
Ready for action!
A knife!
Let’s cut this one!

*EDIT* March 9, 2022:
Time for a proper text as this is a scene from my Hall of Fame!
I really love these Interspiro full-face masks (FFM)! And seeing one in an action scene in a movie/TV show, especially in a scuba fight….is VERY RARE!
The villainess messes up to sneakily attack her from behind and the diver is able to fight her off for some seconds with the help of Flipper.
I love the struggle she puts up to prevent the villainess from cutting her precious air hose incl. great sounds!
She tries to escape (doesn’t she have a knife to fight back?) and the villainess pins her down on top of the submarine, really well done.
I love that the villainess then goes for her air hose and slices through it.
Sadly she turns away then as the good guy comes for the rescue.
Two mistakes are here: Her air hose loses only very little air for some time after it was cut. I guess they turned the air off more or less for a segment.
Also, as the good guy arrives and gives her his spare regulator her mask is only pressed against her face, the straps aren’t in place anymore. I guess they skipped the part so she could quickly get the regulator to breathe again.
The “aftermath” as she pumps the water out of the chamber in the sub and is pretty much shocked and out of breath is well done as well.
Well, in my version the villainess would then be attacked by the hero and …underwater…of course 😉
So he could give her a taste of her own medicine!

If you wanna know the title of the series and the exact episode:
Here we have another example of a female scuba diver in action underwater! Our lady puts on her scuba gear and gets ready to dive. As she is underwater someone attacks her from behind!
Who will win (survive)? Check out the video:
Our frogwoman…
Ready…
..to dive!
That sneaky bastard!

What’s your opinion on the scene?
I like the buildup, but the end isn’t so great in my eyes…
*EDIT* March 10, 2022:
My problem with the ending here is that he yanks her regulator out and she immediately drowns…. at least that is the way they show it.
A really odd ending to a scene that started really well with her sounds and struggling. As it seems he doesn’t turn off her air as he had the perfect opportunity to do so.
Then her (quick) drowning would make more as she wouldn’t have got any air even she still had the regulator in her mouth.
Well, in this clip we have a couple that wants to scuba dive. They have an argument so the guy sabotages her scuba gear. As they are underwater he fulfills his evil plan…. What will happen to her? Will she drown? Will someone rescue her?
This evil guy….
They are diving as…
…he attacks her!
Her air hose disconnected!

Here is the full scuba action with our scuba damsel in distress:

Great scene with an interesting ending…
Looks like he had a change of heart as he didn’t want her to drown after all.
The breathing sounds are nice and I like his evil and sneaky plan 😉
Her behavior is scripted rather badly as she basically does nothing. She doesn’t ascend or is looking for help and only twists around a bit and then drowns way too fast.
A couple dives along the ocean floor ass suddenly 2 frogmen appear. One of them carries a very strange, but deadly weapon….what will happen to our 2 divers?
What’s that?!

*EDIT*, March 11, 2022:
Well, that is a really odd weapon for underwater warfare! And I have never seen it in any other movie. Guess the moviemakers came up with that idea 😉
Basically, it’s like a bear trap but with a staff and a lever. Certainly, the user then has a range advantage, but I don’t think many would use such a nasty weapon….
Also, it’s rare that we have her a frogwoman who actually kills another diver…. I like that she managed to finish the evil guy. I guess she was then too afraid of fighting against the other one with his special weapon, yeah….understandable.
I wish she would have had a black rubber wetsuit with a double hose regulator instead of the bad guys.
All in all a good scene with some unusual elements!
You folks will surely know the epic underwater battle from “Thunderball”. I found this video, which is very similar to the Thunderball battle but it has frogwomen in it! It’s a very well-made “cartoon”, but for adults. Check it out, here are some stills:
The “good” girls…VS…
….the “evil” ones.
Knife fight!

Very good “movie”, if you ask me. The only thing I would have included would be some ripped/cut air hoses.
