I know about this movie for years, but didn’t post about it so far.
Why? Because… if you look at it strictly, there isn’t a (fully geared) female diver in it.
But you have a woman in a short-wetsuit and a vintage FFM in a short scene.
And then a woman gets pulled into a pool by a man in a full wetsuit and a vintage rebreather(?)!
And if I remember right, someone asked about this scene a while ago…
Preview:
What is going on….
….here?
Someone lurks in the dark….

I added the scene with the wetsuit as it fits the topic.
She isn’t exactly so hot with the short hair (in my opinion), but the wetsuit is certainly nice.
It’s cool that she is wearing the wetsuit that her father got her, and she wants to “practice” before some (scuba) lessons by running around in it.
Some kinky fun 😉
The pool scene is pretty great for 2 main reasons. He is all dressed up in awesome vintage gear!
Plus, it’s great that the other woman is actually attacking the evil diver by ripping his air hose. Great job!
That’s how you deal with a diver who attacks you…. not just trying to escape to the surface… attack him in a way that he has to abort his plans.
It’s interesting that he is geared up in a full rubber suit and everything. I mean, it’s Italy, the pool is pretty warm… he wouldn’t need a wetsuit, but he decided to wear one anyway 😉
2 movie mistakes are easy to see here. The underwater scenes are clearly not shot at night, but rather in broad daylight or with many artificial lights.
It’s quite a weird contrast this way 😆
Also, in some scenes he is wearing a bathing cap with the mask, in others… not. #continuationerror
The attempt to drown her is filmed pretty well, even though the scene could be a bit longer with more close-ups.
However, all in all, it’s a great scene for my taste!
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?
Ok folks, time to make a BIG, juicy post about a new movie that deserves it! I am sure this will be one of the longest posts I made on this blog.
You all should know Deep Blue Sea (1999), certainly one of the best shark movies with a big budget (60 million $….and that was 20 years ago).
Then in 2018, there was a successor with a tiny budget, practically the same plot…..but it wasn’t good. In fact, it was quite horrible. It had a short and uninteresting scuba scene.
This June I posted about the trailer for Deep Blue Sea 3. It was promising as it had quite a lot of scuba content and the female lead had some scuba scenes as well.
This week the movie was actually released and I watched it in the hope of being entertained and, of course, to find some good scuba scenes.
Deep Blue Sea 3 has an estimated budget of 5 million $. Certainly not an A-list movie.
I don’t know if they planned (before Covid) to release it on cinema screens, but I guess not, especially after the 2nd one was a disappointment.
Even after watching the trailer….I certainly didn’t expect to get HYPED like this 🙂
–
The setting is already nice with a tiny island that slowly gets swallowed by the ocean due to climate change. Even some parts are made by CGI, a pretty impressive setting for that limited budget.
Tania Raymonde, the lead actress, looked already familiar to me in the trailer, but I didn’t know for sure. After a check on IMDB, I knew for certain: Actually, I know her since the start of her acting career as she had a small role in “Malcolm in the middle” in the early 2000s. She was also in “Lost” and “Goliath”.
After 90 seconds she appears in the movie in a black, smoothskin shorty…. and ….my eyebrows…. moved up already. 😉
Preview – scenes from before AND after her first dive in the movie:
After her first dive of the movie…
…. Tania is still…
….in her smoothskin wetsuit (shorty) 🙂

And here is the video – scenes from before AND after her first dive in the movie:
If I would post all the scenes of her scuba diving …and/or …wearing sexy wetsuits/bikinis throughout the movie it would practically be half the movie 😉
Here is a selection of her outfits that she wears both underwater and above the surface :
Smoothskin wetsuit (shorty)
full wetsuit
Bikini
Wetsuit(?) (shorty)

–
The ultimate HIGHLIGHT of the movie is around minute 70.
[small SPOILERS ahead!]
The bad guys have placed an underwater mine that would not only kill the sharks but also sink the (artificial) island.
So, Tania gets into scuba gear once again and wants to defuse the mine. But the villain has sent a diver after her to stop her!
And what followed…let my lower jar drop… (+other things happened as well).
(*EDIT January 2022*: Now on Google Drive since it is suddenly not welcome anymore on YouTube)

Over the years I have seen quite a lot of scuba fights. Some were good, others were bad.
But DAMN! THIS is how you make a scuba fight!!!!!
Ok, there are things you can improve here….but SO many things are done realllllly good:
– It’s a little weird that he doesn’t use the speargun that he still had as the villain sends him after her. He also doesn’t have a knife, or he doesn’t wanna use it. And he also fails to use the element of surprise. She was fully focused on the mine, so he could have sneaked up from behind her and ripped her mask off, stabbed her, cut her air hose etc.. Maybe he was too incompetent, he underestimated her… or he just wanted to have a real challenge instead of a “dishonorable” kill.
– The whole time you hear her breathing sounds from that FFM. It’s thrilling to hear both of them grunting and moaning as the fight goes on. You can really HEAR the struggle! A pretty rare thing when it comes to underwater fights.
– Tania really fights back! She is not the easy victim he may suspect. I love how she tries EVERYTHING: She attacks him with her knife, reaches for his mouthpiece, beats against his mask, claws into his hand, uses her elbow to hit him as he is behind her. Pretty sure I have never seen so many different moves from a frogwoman in a scuba fight! Love the fight choreography here! Often the bad guys (try to) yank out the mouthpiece of a frogwoman to drown her and that’s it. Tania has an FFM, so he can’t do that. She struggles frantically to keep the mask on as he is trying to yank it away from her forcibly.
– The whole struggle as he yanks on her mask…..is really awesome! A verrrry intense scene! A close-up of his hand yanking on her mask would have been great, but that’s only a minor issue. My slightly bigger issue is that the white shark rescues her a little too early 😉
Would have loved to see her struggling for some time without the mask, while her mask would be spitting her precious air. However, it’s great that he did manage to rip that mask off after all the struggle. The evil frogman had no luck after he finally managed to overpower her, he had a BIG advantage…..he got eaten… 😆
This scuba fight is one of the very best in my opinion. Certainly in my TOP 5 of all time!
It’s great that we still get fights like this one! I guess I know at least 95% of the good ones….so I am VERY happy about the new material! 🙂
Fun fact with some spoilers about the ending of the movie, don’t read it if you haven’t seen the whole movie!
Spoiler title
Actually, all the women survive…and all the men get eaten/killed during the movie
I guess some trolls and other sorts of morons think that this movie is a feministic movie against men …and thereby part of a feministic worldwide conspiracy 😆
———————————
>>>>> In this VIP section of August you will get one additional scuba scene from this movie ….. and 3 more different cuts of this EPIC scuba fight! <<<<<
I will upload and link these scenes today….so head over there if you are a member.
And if you are not a member….this is your chance to join and get a LOT of content for the usual price.
Always wanted to see the whole movie since I heard about the scuba scene in it.
Never found the movie so far….but I found a nice clip that I wanna share with you. No edits were needed.
2 frogwomen and a frogman dive together.
But soon one of them realizes that evil forces have sabotaged her scuba gear (tank)!
Sorry for the bad picture quality but this was the best I found so far. And it’s a rare TV movie from the 90’s so……
Preview:
The two frogwomen are ready….
…to dive!
But something is….
….wrong!
(click to enlarge)

Here is the video:
–
Still would love the see the movie to get the story!
Who are these people? Who wants to kill her….and WHY?
Why are all 3 of them diving alone each after a while?
Well, from this clip the guy would be my primary suspect as the other woman decides to help her.
But who knows without more info….
If you know a way to get the full movie, please let me know!
–
Quite a nice scene! Especially as her gear was sabotaged! Someone wanted her dead since her gauge isn’t showing that her tank is empty.
A little odd is the fact that she isn’t moving at all. If I would be out of air I would swim towards the rescuer who has spotted me but is still in some distance.
–
The movie title is already in the post title, but there are tons of movies with that title….so here is the link to the movie:
…in which a young female diver was exploring a tight cave system. She was attacked from behind by a diver, who ripped off her scuba mask and cut her air hose!
She barely survived that encounter…and now she needs to dive again into that cave system.
And guess who is already waiting to get his second chance to drown her…. 😉
Note: This material wasn’t edited by me in any. I was lucky to find it…and it appears to be from a VHS recording…nothing better is available from this rare 90’s series.
Preview:
Ready to dive into the cave system again!
Exploring…
…but…
…again the evil diver finds her!
Smashing her head against the wall….
…and yanking at her regulator!

And here is the video:
–
My opinion on it:
Well, she does look really great in that scuba outfit. Even if the picture quality is far from good.
A very brave girl diving alone into such a cave system… especially after the last encounter with the evil diver who nearly drowned her. She knew that he might be there again and yet she dives in there anyhow.
He does make a (fatal) mistake, first, he reaches for her mask….but he doesn’t (manage to) pull it off. He grabs her mouthpiece and yanks it away. What was his plan with the knife? Does he want to stick that into her head???!!! Very odd idea and he misses it after all. But due to the fact, that she still has her scuba mask on, she manages to see and grab the stone.
I like that she fights back this time…knocking him with that stone…giving her the vital seconds to get away.
Ok, again she is lucky that he is stuck under…that barrel. But after 2 attacks she is still alive and the evil diver is dead after all.
A really nice struggle and fight!
In my eyes not as good as the first one…since I love to see cut air hoses 😉 …but this series managed to produce 2 great scuba scenes in only 6 episodes.
Pretty great job if you ask me!
*EDIT* March 19, 2023:
Check out my new post (the whole show is now finally available!):
First, thanks again to V for mentioning this movie. I watched the whole thing and it was very clear to me that it belongs on this blog, even there is no frogwoman in it. But don’t worry….I’m pretty sure that most folks might like these scenes for different reasons 😉
Some words about the story for a better understanding of the video. We have a slightly….mad… freediver who loves to wear his rubber suit and strangle women in his free time. And we have a female detective (Yvonne Catterfeld again) that hunts him.
So I included every scene with the mad killer in his rubber suit and the key scene where both met. And in that scene, he uses his …freediving skills… to his advantage…. 😉
Preview:
There he is…the maniac in his rubbersuit!
His favorite place…
But she wants to catch him!
Bad idea…that close to the edge…
The rubberman got her…
….that does look bad for her…

Here is the video:

Well, that is a special… nutjob! But I really like his diving suit…it is very sexy.
And it’s an interesting/unusual idea to let him run around in that suit when the crazy killer in him takes over…
And I really like that scene in the pool. A very nice drowning peril scene.
Interesting that they wouldn’t show his front side at any time (UW)….I am pretty sure I know the reason… 🙂
Perhaps the actor or stunt double got a little excited …being in such a suit..while pulling on Yvonne Catterfeld.
–
And I imagine a gender swap on that scene. A sexy femalefreediver…in that outfit….pulling a man underwater. OH MAN!!!!
We need more crazy female serial killers with a fetish for sexy diving suits…. 🙂
What do you think about that UW scene? And on the other scenes?
Leave your comment below!

P.S.: Sorry, but still no news from youtube regarding my channel. I know many of you want to see the promised clips from S.O.S. Barracuda and Eye of the Storm.
And I really DON’T like to keep you waiting…I would rather post them yesterday…but I waited some weeks now for youtube to get it done…and I won’t let that be for nothing.
It really annoys me that it takes that long…as much as it annoys me to keep you waiting.
This classic scene did need a quality upgrade. In the old post, the picture quality was very bad. Now we have a solid picture quality and I added the ending of that TV episode to it.
A man walks around a jetty(?) at a lake, as suddenly a frogwoman surfaces and pulls him into the water. Can he survive?
Preview:
There she is….
…pulling him into the lake!
They fight? Who will win?

And here is the video:

Well, a really great scene with a sexy frogwoman, even if we don’t see her very well.
It is supposed to be a woman, even I do think they used a male stunt double (a common practice back then).
What is really uncool is….. the way they ended the scene…. what is happening here?
Well, spoiler alert, she was overpowered by the guy in the end as the next scene suggests…. 🙁
But I just love the idea of a sexy frogwoman in such a gorgeous outfit lurking in a lake to attack her prey!
Here is the link to the title of the series/episode:
One of my earlier posts had this (pretty famous) scene:
A sexy female scuba diver goes on a dive. Quickly she runs out of air (she got a near-empty bottle) and tries to activate the reserve. But…someone sabotaged it 😉
Double Sabotage!
Recently I found out that they released a DVD of that movie some weeks ago. Of course, I bought it and it is indeed a big improvement over the old VHS rip. I made this first video as a big quality upgrade for you to enjoy!
