Today I wanna show two scenes from the very early days of the 90’s Flipper TV show.
The main scene features a very young Jessica Alba ( I guess only in the surface scenes) and her male buddy to dive down to a shipwreck.
They make an unexpected find….
Preview:
There she is…young Jessica Alba!
Found something!
An unexpected visitor!

And here is the video:

Well, certainly not something you wanna find underwater….or anywhere else. #dead dude
I like the performance of the bad guy on the boat as they return to the surface.
Really evil and creepy. Seconds later he even shots Flipper puncturing his fin with a spear! But well, I decided to cut that out of the video as they may spark some comments….
Of course, he is ok later on as this is a kid’s TV show in the first place. 😉
The two kids get locked up and get rescued later on.
As a bonus, I have another short scene that doesn’t actually have a frogwoman in it, but you might find it interesting anyhow.
You may have noticed that the air hose of the dead diver was sliced….well, here is the scene from earlier in the episode:
–
Damn, how great would this scene be if it actually would have been 3 frogWOmen? Or at least one….
However, it shows how ruthless the main villain is as he just locks the guy in there after slicing his air hose.
Later on in the episode, the bad guy battles a good guy and loses (but isn’t killed), but that scene is rather badly done…in my opinion.
Until then I haven’t heard about her…but that knowledge gap could be closed 😉
That documentary is well worth a watch, I highly wanna recommend it!
But this post is actually (mostly) about another documentary….a documentary that is mentioned several times in “Playing with sharks”.
A documentary from 1971, with sharks…and Valerie Taylor in black rubber for most time underwater!
The film crew is on the hunt for a great white shark as they wanna film him underwater as he is feeding….something that was never done before (before 1971)!
For you folks I made a highlight cut with my favorite scenes 😉
Preview:
Getting ready!
Sharks all around her…
I love her scuba gear (suit)!
A great white!

Here is the video:

Watch the video before you continue!
There are a lot more scenes of her in that rubber suit, but then the video would get way too long 😉
Some years earlier she might also have used a double hose regulator, but those were already on the retreat since the mid-’60s. 🙁
But I really love her suit…for me, it can’t get much better than such a black rubber wetsuit!
And did you realize that fish did bite in her air hose at around 2:38???!
The fish….
…bites into her air hose 😉
That fish was just curious…luckily for her, that bite wasn’t strong enough to puncture her only air hose.
Of course, even that wouldn’t have been a problem for her as she is a very skilled diver and help would have been nearby.
But still, I really like that scene! I wonder what would have happened if she had had a corrugated air hose…. as these are way easier to damage/puncture.
The documentary itself….is very problematic….from today’s point of view.
The research on sharks was only at the beginning and it shows big time. This documentary was watched all around the world and I think it’s safe to say that it played an important role in the development of Spielberg’s blockbuster “Jaws”.
Taylor did actually film some shots for it some years later with her husband.
I still really love that movie, even I know it’s fantasy and that sharks don’t behave like that.
For the sharks that movie was surely catastrophic in many ways.
In the new documentary “Playing with sharks” that I mentioned earlier….Valerie Taylor reflects a lot on how her attitude towards sharks and sea life in general has changed over the years.
So, I can recommend to watch both documentaries as you then get the whole “picture”, even you should have a strong stomach for watching the old documentary as there is a lot of cruelty vs aninmals….especially whales….in it.
Here is a picture of the new documentary:
Also….a lot of interesting scuba gear from the ’50s onwards…in this one.
Watch the video FIRST before you continue reading!
I thought about not saying anything on this project in advance, but I decided that it might be better to let the cat out of the bag right now… 😉
You folks should know by now how much I love to see frogwomen in action scenes.
And despite all the scenes in movies and TV shows, there is still a BIG appetite for MORE as there are basically only 2 or 3 new movies with (at least) solid scuba scenes each year.
Most of the time I am rather disappointed by scuba fetish videos as they don’t provide what I wanna see (with exceptions) and have quite some flaws.
The idea to make scuba fetish videos myself is very old, but I was always afraid of starting such a project.
I said to myself that it would require too much money and would end up in disaster if I would try it.
Or I was wondering what people close to me (outside the scuba community) would think about me doing such videos.
Well, during the last months I started collecting scuba gear.
Scuba gear that I (and hopefully many of you) wanna see in such videos.
I invested some serious money already (for my scale) and the time for hesitating and looking for excuses is over!
In the coming weeks, I am looking for suitable frogwomen and some folks who will help me make such videos.
So, what kind of videos do I wanna make?
A) Sexy frogwomen diving around in sexy wetsuits (“just” sexy, no big action scenes)
B) Sexy frogwomen in peril! (stuck underwater, out of air, sabotage etc.)
C) Sexy frogwomen in combat! (frogwomen fighting each other or against male divers)
I will also continue to gather gear, to have everything that is needed to start this endeavor.
Also, I will start looking for a guy/gal who has experience in underwater filming and can chip in some other qualities as well.
I don’t want to hire (expensive) models as frogwomen, I rather need women who can really dive and can perform underwater action scenes when needed.
Of course, they need to look good as well at the same time. 😉
I will make up a list of requirements and so on for that.
In the upcoming weeks, I will make some more posts about this special project!

The VIP-Club 2.0 has been updated with new material, enjoy!
6 scubalicious videos are waiting for you! 😉
4 mystery videos
+ 2 videos with great highlight scenes from the movies and TV (“Vicious Frogwomen” + “Pull out the regulator) – These two are re-uploads I posted in 2019 or earlier.
(+ a Frogwoman Org trailer version with no music, but the actual sound of all the scenes)
7 scuba fetish stories (the complete versions)….written by myself: “Vulcan down” + “Vulan down: Part 2 – Scuba battle” + “Catwoman – The masked scuba thief” + Vulcan down – Version 2 – Angelo VS Fiona (each at least 15 pages) + “The Scuba Avenger”: Ep 1 – James (6 pages) + The Scuba Avenger”: Ep 2 – Jessica (13 pages) + The scuba instructor (2 versions)
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:
Get ready!
Not a symbol you wanna see that close to you 😉
Trapped!

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?
Time for certainly one of the best underwater peril scenes from Flipper!
Damn, I wish this newer Flipper series would be released on Blu-ray, HD TV/streaming, or at least on DVD at some point, as the picture quality is rather bad.
But as this show is over 20 years old and isn’t well known…this might never happen 🙁
Nevertheless, I really like this scene as there are quite some interesting aspects to it!
Preview:
Ready to…
…dive!
Something isn’t ok!
Look at my ….eyes!
Someone is losing air!
A rather….unusual look!

And here is the video:

Ok, the whole “rock floats down, slices her high-pressure air hose, but doesn’t hurt her at all” aspect is really, really weird and makes no sense.
But besides that realism aspect….it’s a pretty great scene!
First of all, these two are experienced divers in the show, it’s completely irresponsible that her dive buddy decides to leave her and surfaces without her.
Well, the scene dictates that she has to be alone down there as the mysterious guy couldn’t save the “frogwoman in distress” when the other one would be there to help her.
It’s a little odd that she doesn’t react to the other woman trying to contact her and that she seemingly isn’t much concerned that her air hose was ruptured and doesn’t react to it. But ok, maybe she was in shock by the whole development, so…..I guess that’s somehow understandable.
Lucky for her the mysterious guy shows up, yanks her mask off, and puts the octopus regulator into her mouth. Nice timing dude!
And yeah…. spoiler alert….he is a real human…. and not a product of her imagination.
Later in the episode, they have 2 short dive scenes together without action.
And by the way: “My air hose was ruptured!” …..that’s a real trigger sentence for me! 😆

Wanna know from which episode this scene is?
IMDB is all messed up on season 4 of this show.
But it should be season 4, episode 8, “Waterworld”

P.S.: BONUS snippet!
Too late I realized that the scene is continued on the boat after the starting credits, so check this out:
“Sure it wasn’t Sean Connery?” she asks smiling big time….
