This is a rather special scene I forgot to upload so far.
It’s a rather rare movie that is nearly 30 years old…but luckily it was shown in full HD on TV!
Story: A female scuba diver explorer the underwater world alone as suddenly she gets attacked from behind….

She explores the underwater world!
But someone is sneaking up on her….
….to steal her regulator!

Hah, I am sure you were surprised by that twist! 😉
Pretty brutal “test” to attack his own daughter like that and to rip out her regulator!
I guess many here would have loved to see what would have happened if that wasn’t a test, but a real attack. 😉
However, I really like the sneaky attack and the short struggle afterward. Sadly there is no other scuba scene in that whole movie which made this opening a little …..odd.

The title of the movie was actually in the video…but in case you missed it:
Now, it’s time for the scuba fight I promised the last week.
After our frogwoman and her boyfriend explored the sunken city, they now returned with reinforcements. Her boyfriend convinced his army buddies (a special unit stationed in Serbia) to raise the nazi gold from the sunken city. Of course, this undertaking doesn’t go unnoticed. The local Serbian commander still hunts these soldiers after a previous encounter. He knows what they are after and he and his men are on patrol boats right above our frogwoman and her buddies…. The commander sends 3 divers down to investigate and stop the intruders. Our frogwoman and one soldier are salvaging gold as a Serbian diver discovers them….

Our frogwoman…

Well, here is my opinion on the scene [SPOILER ahead]:
The setting is a little dark, some more lights would have been cool (even it is more realistic this way). And the action is paced very fast, a little too fast for me…
…but those are the only real negative aspects to me.
Besides that… the scene offers A LOT:
The guy sneaks up on her…and punches her regulator out of her mouth. Wow, pretty rough solution, but it works and should provide a big shock for her. Don’t know if I ever saw a female diver attacked like that (punching out the regulator).
Then he quickly goes for her mask and rips it down (….which will prove to be a FATAL mistake*).
I love her facial expression and the sounds she makes while he rips off her mask. Very …sexy scene! 🙂
Now she has lost her regulator and her mask and he is about to finish her with his knife while she is defenseless.
She is saved by her buddy and manages to put her mask back on, her regulator back in. And she clears her water-filled mask.
So she can return the favor and save her buddy just in time. And the Serbian seal gets finished off rather violently as well. Stabbed and shot….not many divers die that way…. 😆
Well, now to the fatal mistake* of the Serbian seal…IF he had pulled off her mask by pulling it up and off her head…she couldn’t be ready for action that fast (if she could recover her mask at all). She wouldn’t have saved her buddy and might be killed afterward.
But I like that she recovers from the sneaky attack so fast and even stabs the attacker. She wasn’t the (usual) easy victim. And even it is pretty dark, you can spot her quite well because of her partly colored equipment (her buddy’s equipment is all black).
Well, the Serbian diver is pretty optimistic to attack these two. I love his double hose regulator. She should have used her knife to slice his air hose… leaving him to drown….but well, you can’t have everything.

There are many more scuba minutes in that movie…but nothing special enough to upload it too. I recommend you, to watch the whole movie if you want to see all her scuba scenes. The movie is quite good, besides the scuba scenes. However, the IMDB rating is pretty low…

Now to one of my favorite scenes! Female scuba divers in full-face masks are pretty rare in movies, especially regarding scenes where there is any real ACTION underwater.
Here we have actually a scuba fight scene with a female diver wearing an FFM!
Preview:
Ready for action!
A knife!
Let’s cut this one!

And here is the action, ENJOY!

*EDIT* March 9, 2022:
Time for a proper text as this is a scene from my Hall of Fame!
I really love these Interspiro full-face masks (FFM)! And seeing one in an action scene in a movie/TV show, especially in a scuba fight….is VERY RARE!
The villainess messes up to sneakily attack her from behind and the diver is able to fight her off for some seconds with the help of Flipper.
I love the struggle she puts up to prevent the villainess from cutting her precious air hose incl. great sounds!
She tries to escape (doesn’t she have a knife to fight back?) and the villainess pins her down on top of the submarine, really well done.
I love that the villainess then goes for her air hose and slices through it.
Sadly she turns away then as the good guy comes for the rescue.
Two mistakes are here: Her air hose loses only very little air for some time after it was cut. I guess they turned the air off more or less for a segment.
Also, as the good guy arrives and gives her his spare regulator her mask is only pressed against her face, the straps aren’t in place anymore. I guess they skipped the part so she could quickly get the regulator to breathe again.
The “aftermath” as she pumps the water out of the chamber in the sub and is pretty much shocked and out of breath is well done as well.
Well, in my version the villainess would then be attacked by the hero and …underwater…of course 😉
So he could give her a taste of her own medicine!

If you wanna know the title of the series and the exact episode:
Here we have another example of a female scuba diver in action underwater! Our lady puts on her scuba gear and gets ready to dive. As she is underwater someone attacks her from behind!
Who will win (survive)? Check out the video:
Our frogwoman…
Ready…
..to dive!
That sneaky bastard!

What’s your opinion on the scene?
I like the buildup, but the end isn’t so great in my eyes…
*EDIT* March 10, 2022:
My problem with the ending here is that he yanks her regulator out and she immediately drowns…. at least that is the way they show it.
A really odd ending to a scene that started really well with her sounds and struggling. As it seems he doesn’t turn off her air as he had the perfect opportunity to do so.
Then her (quick) drowning would make more as she wouldn’t have got any air even she still had the regulator in her mouth.
