Sea Hunt Cast

Lloyd Bridges .... Mike Nelson

Sea Hunt Trivia

Sea Hunt was extremely popular in its day in part because scuba diving was very new to the public at large at that time and underwater shots of the ocean environment were very exciting to audiences.

Sea Hunt was produced by Ziv Television Productions who also produced, "The Aquanauts", "Bat Masterson", "Boston Blackie", "The Cisco Kid", "Man and the Challenge", "Men Into Space", and "Science Fiction Theatre" among many others.

Sea Hunt incorporated a voice-over by Lloyd Bridges as Mike Nelson to talk to the audience about what the character was thinking and planning. The feeling on the part of viewers that Mike was talking personally to them was just one more element that set Sea Hunt apart from any other series on television at the time.

The twin air tanks worn by Mike Nelson were only real in the first several episodes of Sea Hunt. Lloyd Bridges complained about the excessive weight of the tanks when shooting scenes out of the water. After that, the tanks you saw during above water shots were made of balsa wood with a coat of silver paint.

Sea Hunt was still doing well in the ratings when the series ended. Lloyd Bridges got tired of the "cops and robbers" storylines that were becoming more and more dominant on the series, so he refused to do a fifth season. Bridges wanted to do episodes that centered around environmental storylines but the producers weren't thrilled with the idea.
