'Sea Hunt Forever' divers recreate one of TVs best shows

0-68

Former US Navy frogman Mike Nelson led a life of adventure, and Sea Hunt inspired generations to explore beneath the sea. Last weekend a group of Sea Hunt reenactors took to the water in Florida to live the dream.

This via The Ledger:

Divers with old-school scuba gear plunged into Silver Springs State Park's headspring not only to search for adventure but to create it. They wrestled a fake anaconda and stabbed at fake bad guys with rubber knives.

The action mirrored the TV show Sea Hunt, a late 1950s and early '60s adventure series starring Lloyd Bridges. The underwater scenes were filmed at Silver Springs, bringing a big chunk of Hollywood into Marion County.

The annual Springsfest now dubbed the Florida Springsfest featured a crew of divers presenting Sea Hunt Forever, re-enacting scenes from the iconic TV show in Silver Springs. It was the headline attraction for this interactive family festival that celebrates the springs and educates guests about protecting waterways in Florida.

I hope we get to see some more video clips.
