Not, I don’t mean the movie Orca and the fantastic frogwoman scene in it. But this one is interesting as well.
And thanks to a certain user for reminding me of this scene by sending me the video!
Story:
Some folks are afraid of a killer while at their shore and want to hunt him/her down. But one woman is determined to prove that the orca is harmless.
And how can she do that? Well, you will see….

There she is…
…entering the water….
…where the Orca is already waiting!

And here is the video:

(there are some seconds of her later on, but nothing worth uploading)
Not exactly a video for the scuba folks among us (that’s why I haven’t uploaded it earlier), ……but if you are into vintage rubber wetsuits (like many of us)….it is interesting 😉
Ok, I would have preferred her to wear an all-black wetsuit with the fitting jacket to her sexy wetsuit pants, but she does look great in that weird combination as well!
The Orca seemed to enjoy the time with his rubber friends…
This one came out of nowhere! Never heard of this one …until a friendly user recommended me a certain movie with his favorite scuba scene. 🙂
THANKS a lot! Of course, he got some free months in the VIP club for such a GREAT recommendation!
And well, it is a great find for me and actually a scene for my Hall of Fame here on Frogwoman.
It offers an extremely rare ending, but more on that later…
Story: A couple invites another couple on a vacation to their beach house. Things between them are getting …”complicated” and the two team up against the other woman.

*EDIT* February 2022: Thanks to a great guy this scene is now available in so MUCH better quality! Thanks for pimping the video quality up BIG time!
Well, isn’t that a great find for lovers of scuba peril/action?
But let’s start with the negative aspects first.
The sound of the bubbles sounds like bad effects to me.
She drowns way too fast, even she is exhausted after the struggle, she shouldn’t drown in a matter of seconds.
I skipped through the movie (Spanish language only) and it has some weird moments (like the ending on the beach). Overly dramatic music and effects.
–
Some weird things/errors I found:
The air hose (of the victim) seems to be leaking a bit (right at the 1st stage) during the fight!
Both the evil attackers wore black wetsuits, while she is wearing a colorful wetsuit. That underlines who are the bad guys here.
They rip off her tank….then a close-up of her…the tank is still there! (editing/continuity mistake)
Of course, she is wearing a weight belt, but it is gone (for no reason) as she ends up on the beach. (continuity mistake)
–
And now to the positive aspects, and there are a lot!
Scuba fights with women are pretty rare (and here we have even 2 involved)! An air hose cut in such a fight scene is even rarer!! And …air hose cut (by an attacker) in such a fight…leading to the death of a frogwoman ….is EXTREMELY rare!!! As a matter of fact, I only know one more scene where that happens.
I love how she really fights against these two. She is focused on not losing her regulator, shielding it with one hand for most of the time, and she fights them off for quite a while!
Well, this little gem has quite a lot to offer! Not only that the filmmakers stole a LOT of music from the Bond movies 😀 (unbelievably that that worked out)…. it has a frogwoman that gets chased on land and underwater! Can she escape the bad guys?
Preview:
There she is….
But frogmen already….
…chasing her!
Well, she surely is in trouble now!!!

And here is the video:

Well….that was…odd! We have incompetent henchmen in the plane (who can’t hit her) and more incompetent henchmen underwater, who can’t hit her with spearguns …or catch up with her.
But if they are not able to kill her….she nearly does it herself 😆
But creative….to escape a plan she packs out her scuba gear. And what happens to the frogmen who are not in the sub? Really odd.
However the chase is pretty cool, something you don’t get to see that often. And the footage where she is unconscious underwater due to the explosion….great scuba peril!
Well, quite some scenes! First of all …I do love that scuba gear!
The frogman actually has my favorite wetsuit/regulator combo (black rubber wetsuit + double hose regulator….just like a SPECTRE diver in Thunderball)!
A shame that she doesn’t wear the same outfit.
I don’t like those ugly bathing caps and why doesn’t she wear a matching hood to it? And of course, I would have preferred an underwater encounter with the monster that would lead to an extensive fight scene….but, well, you can’t have everything.
The monsters look pretty funny, but well, the movie is over 50 years old. Weird that she encounters the monster underwater, but the monster actually isn’t underwater (filmed in studio). I guess they couldn’t use that outfit underwater for some reason…
Thanks to a very friendly guy I stumbled upon this movie. I didn’t think it would be possible to get my hands on it…but to my surprise, they published a DVD of that movie here in Germany.
I ordered it right away and now I wanna present the past parts to you folks!
I included every scene where the girl wears that wetsuit above and below the waterline.

Our frogwoman (from Bulgaria)!
Her air hose…is leaking!
What is going on here?

Story (of the 2nd scene):
The frogwoman makes fun of her friend as she wants to marry him underwater. The old guy with the scuba mask is supposed to be the reverend who witnesses the marriage.
Later she tells him it was a joke.
–
Well, on the backside of the DVD case they promise “…a happy story, which takes part underwater in large part” (loosely translated).
The female lead actress is seen underwater for a couple of seconds, but only in a bathing suit without scuba gear. There are some rather short underwater scenes with the men of the dive club, even a good action scene. And we have the only frogwomen, which wears her wetsuit for nearly 3 minutes (as seen above) and is shown underwater…for 15-20 seconds.
These cheating basta……
Yeah, but at least we have that frogwoman in a pretty sexy wetsuit. And what was actually pretty cool was her leaking scuba gear. She loses air! When you look at her strange air hose, you see a trail of bubbles…. 🙂
These white air hoses….never seen those. They look as if they had used a simple garden hose and connected it to a scuba tank.
I know many things were in short supply back then in former Eastern Germany…but these hoses….look strange. I guess they had to improvise.
A nice guy pointed me at this rare, old Italian documentary from 1977. Some of the parts are really odd and sometimes even disgusting from today’s point of view. If you love animals you might get a heart attack by watching the whole thing. But what makes this documentary interesting for this blog?
Well, we have lots of frogmen in wetsuits but only one woman. This bikini girl seems to be…eye candy (watch how the camera shows her in one scene….) for the viewers …and is feeding a moray!
She doesn’t have a wetsuit like the guys, but she has a great vintage double hose regulator…and that qualifies her for this blog. 🙂

The bikini girl…
…and the moray!

Well, I would have preferred if she would wear one of the wetsuits that the guys are wearing…but well, this bikini is…ok…as well.
As I said, I really love her double hose regulator, and in 1977 many divers already used the single hose versions, so it was a great find for me.
As cruel (and a little sexist) this documentary is…this scene is worth watching!
Well, ok, the movie is from the early ’60s, but nonetheless….the fake underwater scenes were the pretend to “dive” by walking around on the ocean floor…with soap bubbles emerging from their regulators…it’s pretty hilarious. And I don’t like the fact that they aren’t underwater at all.
BUT, these suits are looking fantastic! Sexy vintage rubber wetsuits…. 🙂
And really funny, how the first woman to appear in dive gear in this movie of course runs into trouble in a matter of seconds and needs to be rescued (classic 50’s/60’s).
Damn, how great would it be if these frogwomen would have been actually underwater…and encountered some perilous situation in this gear?
