trapped underwater

Female scuba diver trapped in wreck! Can she be saved?

by

It’s Sunday and that means it’s time for a new post!

This one is from a TV show that airs its 7944th(!) episode tomorrow and that is on air since 1988!

With that many episodes, it can only mean one thing: It’s a daily soap …an Australian daily sop to be more precise.

And you can’t have an Australian TV show with that many episodes without some scuba scenes 😉

Watch the video before you continue!

Well, quite a good scuba peril scenario with some unusual aspects.

She gets trapped with 80 bar left which is unusually “much” for such a perilous scenario in a movie or TV show. I mean that is still 40% of her normal tank capacity which is 200 bar (mostly).

Normally scuba divers get trapped and have only some minutes of air left 😉

Also, it’s interesting that the diver with the full tank just arrives some seconds too late, rather unusual.

I mean ok, in the end, she seemingly survives ….as I have checked just one more episode where she is in the hospital…. so he was quick enough for her to survive. And well, her guy would have drowned as well, since his tank was empty as well.

It’s a shame that it’s only shown how she reacts as her tank is finally completely empty, but her actual drowning isn’t shown and she then floats on the ceiling, even that discovery is quite dramatic as well.

All in all a really good “trapped underwater” scenario.

The episode numbers for this video are 1145 and 1146… of this show in case you wanna know:

An Italian vintage frogwoman with an early rebreather

by

I know this scene for a long time already.

But I only had a pretty bad copy (worse than DVD) that was black and white.

Now this movie was restored to MUCH better quality as it now has Blu-ray quality… and also got colorized!

Quite a gigantic quality upgrade. 🙂

So, I wanna present the most interesting scene from this movie today.

And here is the video:

–

Ok, I don’t speak Italian but have seen subtitles for this scene….so let me give you some backstory to this scene.

She asks the guy if she could try on the FFM (does someone know the type/model?).

As he leaves he asks to take it off again…he is in a hurry as he says.

Well, as you can see she ignores that and goes diving.

He later mention to another guy that the system he gave to her was nearly empty as he was diving with it prior to giving it to her.

In the end, her father is really angry about her being that reckless while only one of the guys takes her side and defends her.

–

I guess this may be one of the earliest female scuba peril scenes in existence as this movie was made in 1953!

The scenario is rather cliche and classic as she is very reckless and also gets trapped in that net.

Sadly it is not shown how she gets entangled in the net in the first place.

But I really love the scuba gear! A FFM with a single corrugated air hose… very sexy! Would love to see a scuba fight with a frogwoman equipped like that 🙂

Also interesting that there is a valve on that mask to switch from snorkel to rebreather (as the guy explains to her).

Really happy that this scene can now be watched in such a picture quality 🙂

And that frogwoman is no other than Sophia Loren!

Quite a sight… 🙂

Female diver gets stuck in net! [Upgrade post, longer cut + better quality]

by

This is another classic that deserved an UPGRADE, and now it’s finally time!

We have a classic “female scuba diver gets trapped in net” scene 🙂

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Initially, I planned on releasing a 10-minute long cut with subtitles. But for some reason, the subtitles didn’t show up in the final file.

So I decided to put up the shorter peril cut as the main video.

You will find the longer video below (without the subtitles).

But back to the scene:

A classic, cliche “frogwoman clumsily dives into a net with very little air left” scenario.

The breathing sounds are pretty loud and done quite well, I am pretty sure they recorded them afterward and included them in the movie.

A pretty sexy result…in my opinion.

She was initially diving with a guy (which you can see in the longer cut) and they both screwed it up in my opinion. He got on the boat again without waiting for her… and she just stopped and decided to go diving on her own. And for some reason she didn’t have a knife… which could have been quite useful here 😉

Even she most likely would have lost it in this cliche scenario… while trying to escape.

Her scuba gear is ok, but I rather hate these old inflatable vests as they totally obscure the … view…

–

Here is the much longer version of the scene with before and after surface shots (not on my public Youtube channel):

In case you don’t speak Dutch … he basically blames her and tells her all the mistakes she made underwater. Nothing of big interest.

–

In the mid of next week, I will make a post about a very unusual scuba fight from the same TV show.

Sadly without women… but a very interesting scuba fight nonetheless.

–

Wanna know from which TV show this is?

IMDB-link

IMDB lists 13 episodes, to my knowledge the show has 6 episodes!?!

Seemingly the show was televised with different long episodes/formats (my guess).

This scene is in episode 5 of 6.

The frogwoman who got trapped under a buoy

by

[1st post for today]

That’s quite difficult to do …. but this vintage frogwoman did get trapped under a buoy 😉

Time for a new video outside “Project F”.

In this one, we go back to the 60s to a TV show with a friendly dolphin.

Preview:

–

And here is the video:

–

The first version of the video was a little over 6 minutes but it was blocked in most countries. I edited the video down to slightly under 4 minutes and that was then seemingly ok for Youtube.

–

Yeah, I don’t get how she managed to get trapped under that thing but ok. 😆

And normally she should be able to get out…or would have some serious injuries, but seemingly she doesn’t have a scratch.

Yeah, it’s a TV show for kids…

But it’s a nice peril scene in vintage gear even I would have preferred her wearing a rubber wetsuit as that would have fit to the 60s perfectly.

I am not a fan of these bathing caps, but I know that some are.

All in all a solid scene.

The scene and the end is pretty funny…

The Deep House [scuba movie – review]

by

Earlier this year in May I made two posts about a new scuba movie:

https://frogwoman.org/the-deep-house-a-new-and-very-promising-scuba-horror-flick

https://frogwoman.org/the-deep-house-the-trailer-is-out

–

And I even heard about it much earlier in the year.

Now I was finally able to watch the movie!

Making a post about it as I usually do, would be quite impossible.

In the post, I will post some minor to average spoilers but NO big spoilers about the ending.

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

Normally I post basically all the scuba scenes from a movie as they normally have only one or two.

In this case, that won’t work. Ok, I could post the highlight scenes of it….but I decided against that, at least for now.

If you are interested in scuba, scuba action, scuba peril….then this movie is a MUST-see for you!

The movie has an introduction of about 20 minutes, and then the whole rest of the movie is set underwater!

As the movie has a total runtime of about 80 minutes….well….yeah….this movie has 60 minutes of scuba diving in it!

Thereby the movie practically shows their dive in real-time!

That is why I can only recommend watching the WHOLE movie instead of some snippets.

–

Now to the movie, is it worth the time and money?

Well, I certainly think it is! 😉

The storyline is simple, a couple is filming themselves as they enter haunted houses, cool places, and such things and upload these videos for the followers.

They heard of a lake that isn’t on any map and that there would be a house in that lake in great condition.

So, they decide to dive down to the house where the action begins as they aren’t alone there!

The movie certainly takes its time before the horror really starts and I’m glad the trailer showed so little of it.

The overall idea of why this house is a horror house is solid. The atmosphere is building up really well as the two divers proceed further into the house.

The sound is really good, especially with headphones or a nice Surround Set!

The scuba gear is quite nice. Standard wetsuits with BCD’s on the back where they belong! And they are using solid full-face masks.

Now, some pictures from the movie:

(medium) SPOILERS AHEAD! I recommend watching the movie before you continue!

Like in Breaking Surface the main enemy of the divers is time and the dwindling oxygen reserves. But in a hunted house there are also other problems 😉

Here you have to accept the fact that supernatural things are happening. I mean there is a house in pristine condition in a lake that was “made” decades ago.

They really did a good job in building these sets and I’m looking forward to finding hopefully some “making of” videos on a Blu-ray release in the future.

 

Spoiler title
I had hoped for a little more (scuba) action, especially as there is a twist near the ending that is perfect to have some more scuba action. Yeah, there are some struggle scenes near the very end, but I had hoped for more. But yeah, it’s hard to satisfy me in that direction. The “ghosts” should be more dangerous, which of course is difficult as they are basically underwater corpses who are quite slow (naturally). The most danger comes from their supernatural abilities.

 

The movie has just the 2 divers and one other guy in it (picture 1). But shooting underwater is complicated and expensive!

From the trailer, it was already clear that there would be “only” this couple, but it would have been great to have perhaps 2 more divers down there with them. That would provide more action scenes with the scuba divers.

Or perhaps no supernatural aspects and some enemy divers that are there to protect the house for some reason. And then some scuba fights in an underwater house! How fantastic would THAT be?!

But ok, that’s my fantasy 😉

All in all, the movie is really good and delivers quite a unique setting with 60 minutes of underwater scenes!

Yeah, there is some wasted potential here and there, but still, it is a very entertaining movie.

*EDIT* As I just learned, there is a short scene AFTER the credits, so check that out 😉

In some weeks I may post my highlight scene of this movie, but as I said, watch the whole movie!

Ok, enough from me.

Have you seen the movie already?

The frogwoman and the diver who got sucked in!

by

That’s a title 😉

Well, it’s time for a new post and this one has a pretty long history.

I used to have this show some years ago and started watching it, but lost interest somehow after some episodes.

Then several nice guys recommended the show for its scuba scenes.

But in the meantime I somehow….lost….the show, don’t know how it happened.

I tried to get my hands on it again, but no luck…..for a looooong time.

Finally, some weeks ago I got it and checked every episode for scuba (and other) scenes.

This episode has by far the best scenes, and perhaps I don’t even post about other episodes…but let’s see.

Preview, scene 1:

And here is the video:

–

Well, not that much action in this scene….but doesn’t she look incredible with the silver ScubaPro regulator?

I know there are some guys who really love to see such lips around a regulator….

Not a fan of her scuba mask as I don’t like such see-through silicone on masks, but well, only a minor complaint.

Preview, scene 2:

And here is the video:

–

Quite a nice peril scene as she gets sucked into that pipe!

Ok, with that speed it’s hard to really see something but the sounds are….interesting.

And well, even the guy got injured as he got trapped down there….. he gets rescued by her, so….the day wasn’t a total fail 😉

I really love the regulator the two lifeguards are using. Sadly, these new, high-end Scubapro regs are pretty expensive…. I got a similar (older) one for Project F, but that isn’t as great as this version.

Damn, I really would have LOVED to see this frogwoman in a scuba fight in that TV show….but well, no luck.

A moron trapped underwater….but 2 female and one male are smarter than he is [Baywatch]

Time for another good scene from season 10 of Baywatch!

And here is the video:

–

Don’t know how that dude managed to get trapped like that…. perhaps he only wanted to be rescued 😉

In that case, his plan worked as one hot lifeguard was around to rescue him with her colleague.

Nice that the two women struggled shortly as the girlfriend didn’t want to surface.

Of course, I would have rather preferred to see her in a wetsuit, but it makes sense as there was no time to get into one.

A female scuba diver in heavy scuba gear in peril!

by

I heard about scuba scenes in an older family TV show with 6 seasons.

I skipped through every episode to check for female scuba scenes. Actually, there were only 3 of interest and only one of them has some interesting action.

Today I wanna present that one!

The scene is quite long and I wanna show it without cuts.

Preview:

And here is the video:

–

I know such heavy gear and drysuits are not for everyone’s taste, but I think some may really enjoy this scene! Her Kirby Morgan hardhat isn’t among my favorites for sure, but I guess some of you may love it.

The clear advantages here are that you can hear the communication between her and the surface and that we can also hear her breathing sounds….a LOT! You won’t find many videos where you can hear a diver breathing to that extend.

It’s nice that they change the classic “diver is trapped underwater with 10% air left” scheme here. It’s a family TV show and perhaps that’s why this is a rather “light” peril scenario.

She is trapped, but she is also not in immediate danger. Her air isn’t running out as she gets air from the surface. Also, she isn’t stuck, but “only” her air hose is, seemingly not damaged at all.

Honestly, I don’t know much about the scuba physics behind hardhat diving like that. She is in 300feet depth and that for quite a while. That is far below any “normal” scuba diving. Don’t know how much or if lengthy decompression stops would be needed with such a hardhat setup, but perhaps they just didn’t show them here.

It’s very odd that he didn’t accompany during the dive in the first place! Why did she go down there alone? Especially as it is an am important and difficult task. Not 100% sure if it’s the actress down there or if it is even a woman at all in the underwater scenes. Very suspiciously they are never showing the inside of her helmet in a way that you can get a good look at her eyes.

In my version, there would be perhaps another frogwoman down there with them. They both hate each other but are forced to work together on this task. As one of them gets trapped the other one sees an opportunity…. Perhaps she would then play with the air hose of the stuck diver….or something like that 😉

–

Wanna know from which episode of which TV show this is?

IMDB-link

The episode name is “Deep Peril” (nice title) from season 2, that’s for sure.

IMDB says it’s episode 16 from season 2, my info is that it is episode 13.

A female scuba diver stuck underwater….and a public “nuisance”

by

Time for another post!

This video could have been only half as long, as the 2nd part is the scuba scene….but for ….reasons….I think it’s nice to start the video a little earlier 😉

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Yeah, these Baywatch guys have a really nightmarish job 😆

And that father was really annoyed as hell about that view 😉

The peril scene is short but quite good. In at least some moments it looks as if only the forward part of her fin is stuck under the rock (however it got stuck there?!?).

So, she should be able to get out of her fin on her own. But either she wanted to save that fin at all costs (the Baywatch guy leaves it there) or her whole foot is supposed to be stuck under it.

However….it’s a classic peril scenario! Personally, I would prefer to see her in a wetsuit instead of a bikini…..but well, tastes are different.
