The trailer for the THUNDERBALL project:
–
I don’t know exactly when I first saw the Bond adventure Thunderball for the first time (I guess around 1990), but it was really exciting to see all that action underwater! In total the movie has around 30 minutes of underwater scenes in it. And the images I saw there….
(click on the image to enlarge it to full size)

….really fueled my enthusiasm for scuba (and other ….interests)!
I don’t know how often I watched that movie since then (and especially certain scenes), but it is my favorite movie!
Bond movies in general are mostly great movies. I love the action, the beautiful women, the evil villains, and the great locations all over the world. What a job James Bond has….

Your comments on Thunderball?
What was the brand of Spectres scuba mask ?
And where i can search It?
That’s the “VOIT Swimaster Wide View mask”
I would say ebay might the best place to find one…which could get pretty difficult.
Yes
Great movie. Maybe too long in minutes, but interesting. Sadly there are no female divers 🙂
In the unofficial 1983 remake, Never Say Never with Sean Connery again, there were scenes of female divers in shortly wetsuits.
Too long??? I would say several hours too short…. 😉
Yeah, Kim Basinger wore a short wetsuit that was cut like a bathing suit.
And Barbara Carrera too 🙂
I wanted to say no female scuba divers in full wetsuit 🙂
I love the frogman battle, and have jerked off to it hundreds of times…I know many others who are also excited and aroused by the massive underwater frogman hunt!
Yeah, there are not sooo many movies with such a scuba battle 😉 ….and none with a scuba battle of this quality.
A really epic final!
The Vulcan bomber scene and the final scuba battle are my favorite parts
