Well, I heard about “The Deep House” last year, but so far the info was very limited and besides a poster, there was nothing much to post about.
That has changed now! ๐
Here is the general storyline:
A young and modern couple who go to France to explore an underwater house and share their findings on social media undergoes a serious change of plans when the couple enters the interior of a strange house located at the bottom of the sea and their presence awakens a spirit dark that haunts the house.

So, I would say it’s very certain that we get some scuba peril scenes in this one ๐
Here are some selected promo pictures:

And here is the movie poster:

So, you already can spot some scuba peril scenes on those pictures, so I am very thrilled about this one!
Not everyone is a fan of Full Face Masks, but I do like them. The black wetsuits are nice and I really like that they both are wearing these BCDs where the buoyancy body is only on the back of the diver.
So the sight to the front…. isn’t “obscured” ๐
Hard to say how they will portray this evil “spirit”, but we get some impressions from the upcoming trailer.
The movie will be released in France on June 30……so, we should get a trailer very soon! ๐
Diving with serious anxiety issues isn’t the best idea. And so is diving with someone who easily freaks out because of nothing.
In this episode, you can find two interesting scenes which show what can happen….
Preview, scene 1:
Frogwoman 1
Frogwoman 2
Lots of fish!
Trouble!

And here is the video:
–
Yeah, if your dive buddy panics….you are into deep trouble! And here that frogwoman panics out of nothing….as she is scared as there are so many fish around her….
Haven’t seen the whole episode, so I don’t know what’s behind her issues. But underwater, freaking out like that can easily kill you and your dive buddy.
Quite a nice peril scene though…and I like those Interspiro Divator masks ๐

Preview, scene 2:
A little trip in the submarine
D’Oh!
Trouble…again!
Trapped inside the submarine, their air is running out! They need to use their scuba tanks…

And here is the video:
–
Yeah, the effects aren’t good as the toy model gets buried by false rocks ๐ , but ok, it’s a TV show.
Quite a cool scene as they are trying to escape the submarine, then depend on their scuba tanks to survive inside the submarine until they are finally rescued.
Damn, why I never find a submarine with trapped frogwomen inside? ๐
I don’t know why the blonde frogwoman let ….the unstable….woman drive that sub, but there can’t be a good reason for that.
I certainly wouldn’t let her drive that thing with her backstory (scene 1 + probably much more).
The new(er) Flipper TV show offers a lot of scenes with female scuba divers as you may already know.
I already posted some of them and today I wanna present another one!
Preview:
Our diver….
…is in danger!
Can she get help from the nearby sub?

And here is the video:
–
A fine peril scene, even it has some obvious flaws ๐
Ok, don’t know if any dolphin could distract/fend off a great white shark…but that’s one of the less problematic points. Still, the shark is so much faster than she is, he could easily catch up with her again, even there is Flipper around.
I don’t remember the full episode but she obviously has some trauma with sharks. Which is quite a problem if you work half the time underwater as she does in her job….
But overall the scene has its plus points as well. I always enjoy seeing women in full-face masks in action. Quite rare stuff, even today.
If I would ever make a shark movie, I guess these sharks would be trained to have a taste for air hoses instead of human meat ๐
With all the crazy shark movies out there, I wonder why no one did that so far. ๐
There is another scene with her in scuba gear as she tags a shark from a really thin shark cage. But that’s very short and without action.
Time for 2 more scenes from Flipper (the newer series)!
This episode has 2 really good peril scenes with a frogwoman that keeps getting in trouble underwater! ๐
I divided it into 2 videos as there was so much material.

Preview, Scene 1:
But someone gets….
….in trouble!

And here is the 1st video:
–
A really fine peril scene….and a rather unusual one!
She was lucky this time…. but she soon gets into trouble again.
Will she get out of it alive again?

Preview, Scene 2:
Flipper is trapped!
And so is she!
Entangled in the net!
(click to enlarge)
–
And here is the 2nd video:
–
Well, as soon she was trying to free Flipper it was rather obvious what would happen ๐
Divers in movies have the tendency of losing their knives and getting entangled in the net, so they would need to be saved.
Here is seems quite strange that she couldn’t get out of the net as it clearly looks as she should be able to get out of it in some scenes.
But well, then we wouldn’t have the fine scene in the show ๐
Another standard trope was missing this time. Normally when a scuba diver in a movie or TV show gets trapped he/she normally has only a few % of air left… ๐
I like how they all work together here to free her and Flipper from the net.
And I also enjoy how many scenes with women in full-face scuba masks this show has to offer. ๐
Posted it on Youtube, but it was blocked right away….
These full face scuba masks with radio must have been very high end back in 1955.
But I haven’t seen these in other movies of the time. I guess they had some problems or were very expensive.
The scenes are very interesting even I wish the creature would have wrestled a little longer with her….perhaps even grabing for her scuba mask or air hose.
However it was good to have some scuba peril in this one. Surely one of the earliest scenes like that in (movie-) history.
First of all thanks to the guy who recommended me a video from this TV show and also to Scuba Snooper who uploaded a video from it on youtube!
I asked for the title of the untitled video and not only got the title but the link for the whole episode!
Couldn’t ask for anything more….. ๐
I checked the whole episode and found a lot more interesting scenes, so I decided to make my own version with all the female scuba scenes below and above the surface.
But enough text for now, let’s start with some pictures:
Preview:
There she is our frogwoman!
….what is going on here? ๐
Scuba fight! From her perspective!
Can she win against the evil frogman?

And here is the video:
–
So, I don’t understand Hungarian (surprise!)…but from what I understand of the episode so far…some villains are searching in that lake for treasure.
One of the evil guys turns against the other one and drowns him as he finds something (a rather disappointing scene).
The dead frogman gets found by the police. For some reason, the TV show’s lead actress gets her hands on his wetsuit and starts wearing that men’s suit.
We can clearly see that it doesn’t fit her very well as she is surprised by that guy. Logically it’s pretty loose. (DAMN!)
One of the good guys has to help the bad guys in recovering the treasure (the guy in the full-face scuba mask).
They decide to get rid of him and close the valve so he doesn’t get any oxygen while being trapped underwater!
Lucky for him our frogwoman shows up just in time.
But she has to fight off the evil guy in the red wetsuit first. As she is a trained martial arts expert…she uses her elbow to hit him right in the face, seemingly breaking his nose.
–
Of course, there are some minus points. Her wetsuit is way too loose, the visibility is rather bad, and the a language problem. A shame the villainess doesn’t dive at the end and is only be seen exiting the water in her blue wetsuit very early on. Would have been great to have the two frogwomen fighting against each other at the end of the episode.
But this episode has a LOT to offer! Some great vintage wetsuits and nice diving scenes. Also, I like how the villains try to drown that guy, a really hideous way….
The highlight is of course the scuba fight where our frogwoman has to face the evil guy in the red wetsuit! It could have been longer, but I really like the intensity. Filming through her scuba mask for a second or two was an awesome idea! Don’t know why that wasn’t done more often.
Also, it’s great that she let out some “grunting” noises to illustrate the intensity of the fight as she has to defend herself against his scuba knife.

Guess you may wanna know from which TV show and episode this is? Here you go:
This post is long overdue! I was pretty sure that I posted about the movie as soon it hit the theaters back then, but not here on the blog.
This movie has one really GREAT scuba peril scene and I made two videos to incl. the whole scene without making a too long video.
Nonetheless, it was blocked on Youtube but in this case “only” in France and some french overseas islands/regions. So 99% should be able to see it.
This movie has gigantic Megalodon sharks and obviously, you shouldn’t take it as a “realistic” movie. You should just have fun watching it.
I am pretty sure there isn’t a single really realistic shark movie anyhow…so…no need to care about the realism in it ๐
We have a yacht full of folks who wanna catch a living Megalodon.
Of course, it’s not as easy as they thought…..
Preview, part 1:
Getting ready….
….to dive!
Somewhere in the darkness around her the MEG is ready to attack…..

Preview, part 2:
She is loosing oxygen!
Can she be….
….rescued in time?

And here is the video:

[Watch the videos before you continue!]
[Watch the videos before you continue!]
That was quite a ride for her….
Not exactly a nice thought of being stuck in the mouth of that MEG!
Her wetsuit is quite sexy for a modern suit and it’s nice that she doesn’t have a BCD.
Bingbing Li does a good job in the movie and here in this scuba scene!
I love the tension as she is alone in that cage, she knows the shark is somewhere, and we can clearly hear her exhaling through the scuba mask.
And the air loss peril scene is just great! I am not 100% sure if it is realistic, as I think that the actual incoming air gets only in the “closed” area around the mouth (unless you wanna clear the whole mask underwater). Also, her air is depleting too fast in my opinion when we see the percentages going down rapidly.
But anyhow, I love the sound of the exiting air and her reaction to it. The sentence: “My mask is broken, I’m losing air!”….pure gold. ๐
I think it was a wise choice to leave the mask on even as her oxygen was gone. With the mask on she couldn’t inhale water, she was “just” passing out.
