But I do have a recommendation for you folks!
My TV magazine recommended a documentary named “Waterwoman” some weeks ago which is currently still running on German TV.
I watched all 4 episodes and it was quite fascinating.
It’s about German freediving champion Anna von Boetticher who is holding several national records.
In these episodes, she is diving in Mexiko, Iceland, the Acores, and (under) Budapest…. and she is wearing smooth skin wetsuits while doing so 😉
Yeah, she isn’t exactly the youngest (52), but she looks great in these suits, is highly skilled and the episodes offer great pictures of beautiful underwater landscapes!
So I really recommend watching the episodes, even though there are some obstacles for folks outside Germany.
Yeah, the audio is German and the episodes are only available online here if you are in Germany:
Scenes from the first movie were blocked on Youtube back then and this is quite brutal (even you don’t see much) so I decided to post this one on Drive as well.
–
Well, for me the scene is ….ok. Some others may like it better than me… I guess.
The shark scenes where a real shark was filmed are good, the cheap prop they used for some closeups is really… cheap.
Yeah, I know the budget was small and CGI wasn’t really an option back in 2000…but the result just looks bad.
Also, the roaring sounds of the shark are just laughable! Reminds me of Tomb Raider 2 😉
What morons come up with such fantasy sounds?
The camera work during the attack is quite bad, most likely as they couldn’t show the prop shark for too long.
On the plus side, the dive equipment is solid and there are some intense perilous moments as the divers are quite “loud”.
Ok, for me that kind of peril isn’t exciting at all… but well, others may see that differently.
Also, I wonder why they didn’t have at least one or two minutes with these women on the surface with some dialogue lines.
I mean she gets chomped by that shark and we know nothing about her and didn’t hear one word from her. That way the audience doesn’t care too much about her.
–
The next scene that I will present in a future post is more interesting… at least for me.
Just a quick post for today as I don’t have enough time.
Many of you will know this Instagram account by now, but for those who don’t, check out her Instagram account …and also her Youtube channel (linked on her Insta):
Now check out this scene, which can also be found in that TV show made 4 years later:
–
Well…. quite odd! They re-used the complete underwater footage here!!!
The scenario is exactly the same. The detective (Ben Gazzara!) wants to meet with a woman only to be attacked by a mysterious frogwoman in rubber!
But there are some differences (despite the different actors):
Here we actually see some very short scenes of the evil frogwoman above the water.
In the original, they fight underwater and suddenly….cut….and he is in a hospital. One of the worst cuts in the history of humankind! ARGHHHHH!
In this “remake” we see him pulling the obviously defeated frogwoman to the shore, with her mouthpiece in his hand!
But then…. I start yelling at the screen! AGAIN, they don’t show the villainess anymore except for some seconds where she is already covered in a blanket.
How bizarre is that? Why have they shown only so little of her??? I would have loved to see the defeated frogwoman in her wet rubber suit on the surface! Just add a dialogue there and show her!
The murderer is finally caught and she just vanishes without saying a word!
DAMN! Really frustrates me big time! That and that the moment of him overpowering her underwater isn’t shown properly.
However the flaws, that ending… in both versions…. in one of my all-time favorites!
It’s such a unique scenario. An evil frogwoman in rubber who wants to drown a guy in this scene ….and already did drown a woman earlier in the episode!
How often do you get that in a TV show or movie? Spoiler-Alert….Basically NEVER! 😉
Ok, it’s hard to say if the diver who actually did the diving during filming is actually a woman….since the underwater picture is rather dark… or if they used a male diver to double for the villainess.
However it is supposed to be a woman, that is 100% clear.
–
So, why the same scenario and the same underwater footage?
These episodes are from different TV shows but are basically identical as the script is nearly a copy (some slight changes).
With some quick research, I found out that both TV shows were made by the same company (Roncom Films) for the same network (NBC).
The earlier show is from 1964 and the “remake” is from 1968.
So they “just” re-used footage that they shoot some years earlier.
Quite bizarre that they just remade an entire episode just some years later in a different TV show.
Don’t know why they did it, perhaps they were just lazy and recycled the script 😆
–
In the original, the villainess is the secretary of the guy who was in love with the drowned woman from the beginning of the episode.
Here is a picture of the villainous redhead from the original (Fiona Volpe vibes):
Really a shame she wasn’t shown on the surface in her rubbery frogwoman suit. 🙁
In the remake, she is his personal physical therapist (and less attractive)…but that is already one of the biggest changes from the original to the remake.
–
I guess you might wanna know now from which TV show that remake is?
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.
Preview:
Wow, you don’t see such gear often…especially on a frogwoman!
Trapped!
Nice…. 🙂

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 🙂
+ one video where a woman with FFM is tied up (Breathplay)!
+ a little new Bonus for VIP club members:

Now to a woman who really wants to dive with sharks!
The backstory is rather sad, but it’s a very interesting (short) movie and it has some nice scuba scenes in it.
Check out the storyline on the IMDB page if you like (see below).
This is a rather old recommendation I got some years back. Thanks! Now it’s time to post about it 😉

Quite a beauty 🙂

And here is the video:
–
I made a cut with the first scene as she is having a flashback that is very sad and tragic.
I didn’t cut anything out of the scuba scene itself.
It’s rather a short scene so I only included it because of the perilous element.
The second scene is much more interesting for me.
Really great close-ups of her face. And a nice vintage-style mask, even though I don’t like that see-through material/color.
The scenes with the sharks and the beautiful music are really well done.
And it’s got to have a peaceful scuba scene with sharks here for a change, after all, that is 10 times more realistic than 99% of the shark movie scenes.
(first one is about the 2nd video shoot of “Project F”)
Another scuba scene for you folks, this time a very new one!
In this scene, we have a couple(?) diving around with mini scuba tanks.
Preview:
Aren’t they cute?
Scuba diving with mini tanks!
What is going on here? 😉
(click to enlarge)
–
And here is the video:
–
Yeah, a solid scene, even though there is no action in it.
It is interesting that they are using these mini scuba tanks (Frogwoman Lucy used one in Video 2 of Project F).
They are using regulators from the well-known Cressi company, haven’t seen such a combo so far as normally these tanks come with rather cheapish regulators from the same brand.
With that size, I guess only 1L…they can dive for around 5-7 minutes or so, depending on how fit they are.
So they certainly need to be really careful with such small tanks and stay in rather shallow depths.
Also, she admits that she has no experience with diving at all, so it is even more risky, even they do hold hands.
Certainly not a dive any scuba school would approve of 😉
The surface scene at the end is a nice addition.
There are no more scenes with them in wetsuits in that episode.
First, some news about the 2nd shooting of Project F.
This week, I finally managed to solve the biggest issue: finding a proper location for future shootings!
I asked the managers of some public swimming pools, but the prices for one hour were……. BIG.
Of course, there would always be the possibility to shoot in a lake, but that comes with quite a lot of disadvantages (sight, comfort, and especially privacy etc.) even I still want to have a video shooting at such a location in the future.
The bad news first:
The shooting is still nearly 2 months away
The good news:
The location will have a really big pool, much bigger than the ones that are owned by private persons.
The pool will also be deep(er) (around 6 feet in total) than the one from the first shooting.
Fins can be used this time 😉
The lighting should be much better in that location (+ I bought UW lights in the meantime).
It is much less expensive than anything in comparison.
—
I secured a time window of 5 hours for that shooting. I guess 1 hour will be spent preparing the shooting at the location, quick instructions, and collecting all the gear upon departure.
That (hopefully) leaves around 4 hours for the shooting itself and I wanna make the most of it.
This time I certainly won’t leave the location to pick someone up like the last time 😉
The goal is to make 2 videos in that time. One rather simple one and one with an average complex script.
These videos should be around 5-10 minutes long each.
Depending on how it will go, I will need to be flexible and improvise here and there.
This time I wanna focus on underwater action/peril and also wanna show the frogwomen outside the water as well (beginning of the video).
With the experience of the last “casting”, I hope it will be much easier this time to find fitting frogwomen for this shoot.
Now that I found this location, the time between shooting won’t be as long in the future.
I know this movie since it came out in 2015 and got the UK DVD back then (for some reason it wasn’t released on Bluray?).
It was recommended to me at least 6 or 7 times since then but I didn’t make a post until today.
Why? Well, I was unsure about what to post about this movie. If I would post every scene that is somehow (scuba and/or wetsuit) interesting to this blog… I would have to post at least 70% of the movie…. as here the main actress is in a wetsuit for basically the whole movie(!) except for some flashbacks and…
Spoiler title
…the very first and last minutes of the movie.
So, I decided now to focus on the scuba part of the movie and cut out some minutes where the villain is just starring down at the ice for loooooooong.
What happened before the video scenes?
Well, basically the woman realized that her husband is a murderous psycho and he wants to kill her.
He is a scuba instructor and has special plans for her after he drugged and kidnapped her…
Preview:
The crazy guy has special plans….
….for our frogwoman!
How much air is left?

Here is the video:
–
Watch the video before you continue!
Well, quite a sinister and crazy dude!
And that is just the part where she has her scuba tank… there is a lot more to come.
First, let’s start with some things I don’t like about this scene:
The whole aspect of how much air is in her tank is quite weird. Right before the video starts he empties her full tank from 3000 PSI down to 1000 PSI in a matter of seconds by sucking on the regulator and pushing the “air shower” (the translated german term) button on it. That would never ever work that fast. Plus why does he use the “air shower” button and has the regulator in his mouth? That wouldn’t work for long as someone can’t take in that much air. And it would take much longer than in the movie.
Plus the whole air pocket aspect. Is it possible that there is such a big air pocket on a lake under the ice? I mean the exhaled air from her tank would be there for sure, but that would be completely useless as this air is already “used. (*EDIT: My mistake)
In two takes the camera focuses on her depth instead of her gas gauge!
Well….why? I mean she is just under the ice the whole time and has only one way to go (up). The audience knows that, so why show it twice?
Perhaps, as the gauge is near zero… the movie makers confused it with the gas gauge?
Very odd….
And then the gas gauge very quickly goes from 1000 down to near zero in a matter of seconds! How is that possible? Or is that supposed to be a time-lapse?
However, there are a lot of positive aspects for me as well:
It’s quite a unique setting! I mean a guy who wants to drown a woman but puts a wetsuit and a scuba tank on her?
Certainly never seen that in any other movie….
The whole “running out of air” while the killer is just above her is very suspenseful!
The frogwoman is attractive and her wetsuit is quite nice. Of course, I would have preferred a black smooth skin wetsuit, but well, this way the heroine is very “flashy”.
And as the villain here is 100% evil and crazy… it’s a very intense survival scene…and that’s only the start for her.
–
About the whole movie:
There a very long takes of him just staring down at the ice. I mean the movie has only a length of about 70 minutes but it seems like they had to include a lot of overly long takes to even get to that length.
Plus his whole plan is kind of odd. I mean ok, he is crazy.
His whole plan for her is quite odd. I mean he certainly wants her to suffer before she dies.
He gives her a scuba tank but it is only one-third full.
So I guess he was “worried” that she might freeze to death before drowning? Even I can only guess how long someone could actually survive the ice-cold water, even with …an inappropriate… wetsuit on.
He gives her a wetsuit but that is only a little protection when the water temperature is around zero (celsius).
He straps the regulator to the back of the tank so she has to struggle a lot to even reach it.
Plus he is there on the ice but basically can’t see anything of her struggle, except some silhouettes and some air bubbles.
I guess he enjoys the whole situation big time, otherwise, he wouldn’t have come up with such a complicated scenario for her.
I am pretty sure that the screenwriter might have some aqua fetishes 😉
The flashbacks are interesting and important to the story, but too long for my taste and drag down the intensity a little.
I guess I will make a special cut of the whole movie where I cut out the flashbacks and overly long scenes of the villain doing nothing but starring for loooong takes.
But this movie is very much unique and very suspenseful, as I am cheering for her to find a way to get out of this horrible situation.
Yeah, this is a low-budget production and the acting isn’t always very good (especially the wooden villain) but certainly a very interesting scenario that you won’t find like this in any other movie.
Certainly, a movie that you should know and I can only recommend watching the whole thing!
–
Here are two posters of the movie (minus the title):
–
Very good motives in my opinion! Even the right one looks like bad CGI.
You could nearly think that someone who worked on this movie had a little fetish 😉
I mean the two who are waiting on the beach are wearing full wetsuits with hoods and scuba socks just to quickly run into the water and assist the other guy for some seconds.
But they are running around in wetsuits for over 10 minutes in the movie. That could have been achieved without both in full rubber…but well….. I won’t complain about it 😉
However, she looks gorgeous in that suit, even though I curse that this wasn’t shot in color back in 1966, which would be done most likely if this would have been a US movie. I think color is just a lot sexier.
If I would be the actor on that beach with her she would probably wonder why I look away from her 99% of the time to keep “cool” 😆
I am glad that she is the one who is wearing the hood most of the time, really adds to the great optic.
–
Quite a dark ending that all but the villainess die in the end. A really good scene as he tried to run away from the police in order to use his dive gear to escape. Even that would have been quite difficult, even if he made it without getting shot. But well, the whole movie had this atmosphere that was leading to a tragic ending.
Must have been… interesting… for the actor who was on the plane as he was filming in that wetsuit for a loooong time.
Would have been nice if the frogwoman would have fought with some cops on her attempted escape….
But ok, that was sadly no option back in the 60s as this was filmed.
+ one video where a female diver tries to escape from her arch-enemy (also a woman)… scuba peril awaits!

Out frogwoman who was stuck in the net in that post is in this video as well, but only short as this post isn’t really about her.
I just included her in the video so that you can see her again 😉
This post is rather from my “Imagine if…” series.
We have a pretty long and intense scuba fight with two frogmen. Damn, I wish there would be such a long scuba fight between two frogWOmen 😉

Watch the video before you continue!
Wow, pretty much every way on how to kill an enemy diver is included in this fight…
They try to stab each other, strangle each other, a mask gets ripped off, kick each other, and try to kill the other one with rocks(!) and one tries to smash the other one’s head against rocks.
The scriptwriter was pretty creative for sure! Only a harpoon and a sliced air hose were missing 😉
And the way the good guy finishes the villain (actually Rutger Hauer!) is quite sinister.
I mean I never liked these inflatable vests, especially on frogwomen…. as they obscure the view, but is there no way to stop the inflation once the mechanism was “activated”?
Would like to know if such a “pull cord” had a safety mechanism or so…. I mean I can’t imagine that one unintentional pull on that thing would mean certain death if you are below a certain depth.
I mean, if an enemy diver can be killed with one pull on the inflation mechanism… it’s a very easy method.
Perhaps someone here can explain how these old inflatable vests worked and how “safe” they actually are. Seems like there were quite some potential risks with these vests.. at least regarding misuse.
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 🙂

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.
