Thanks to a very nice user, we all can enjoy this clip I edited together out of 2 tv-episodes. Thanks a lot! 🙂

In this clip, a frogwoman in a great 60’s rubber wetsuit has to help a famous dolphin…

That is some outfit!

Too bad she doesn’t go for a dive… 🙁 , but the wetsuits are pretty rare on females and in color, so we take what we can get. Good scenes!

And that helicopter reminds me of a certain movie of the same time period 😉

The vintage frogwoman VS the creature

by

If you visited my other blog Maskripper the last days you saw one scene from this movie already. But the movie has another scene that fits well into this blog!

A frogwoman goes diving as suddenly….a underwater creature appears and starts chasing her… can she survive? Can she escape?

And did you find Lex Barker?  😉

Good stuff! Funny how they panic about the harmless shark, but… normal in the 60’s I guess.

The frogwoman and her entangled air hose

by

After the modern rebreather gear of the last two posts, I switch to some vintage scuba gear. And where do we find plenty of it? In the best scuba TV series in TV history!

If you haven’t watched it you certainly missed something….

In this episode, a frogwoman wants to rescue her dive buddy but gets into very serious problems herself…

The only thing wrong with that show is that it is in black & white… 🙁

BUT, another great scene of scuba peril.

P.S.: You can count how many times he “accidentally” grabs her breasts…. 😆

The (near) perfect frogwoman outfit!

by

…well in my opinion 😉

In this clip, you will see one brilliant outfit for a frogwoman! It’s a shame there are so few scenes like this with an outfit like this (in color).

It doesn’t get much better than that!

The suit and the double hose regulator are just awesome! 🙂

What I would give for some underwater peril or a scuba fight scene with a frogwoman dressed like that.

I imagine Fiona Volpe in that gear fighting against Navy frogmen in the final battle in Thunderball 😉

Your opinion?

I love these rubber wetsuits! Just like in Thunderball, the greatest “underwater movie” of all time 🙂

A shame that she wasn’t one of those… 🙁
