Help Needed looking for photos

I'm getting ready for a family reunion and thinking of the good old days.  Back in 1962 we used to play sea hunt.  I just looked up sea hunt and found some great videos, I love Lloyd Bridges BTW!.  We were pretty poor but had great imaginations and I vividly recall playing sea hunt with my brothers.  We'd get dad's undershorts and put them on our heads, the leg holes made made great holes for our faces and of course we had ready made diving helmets.  This was great fun, we had many sea hunt adventures.  I am looking for some good video.  Of white helmets.  I saw the clip of I think season 2 with Lloyd Bridges puting on a mask.  I like that one with the music and all but wondering where did this white helmet thing come into being.  Stupid question?  I don't know.  I'm sure someone will surely say I'm crazy but on the other hand maybe we weren't the only kids on the block playing see hunt with dads underwear on our heads. And if I could find some good video with 5 divers it would be all the better.  Thank you.

Juliet, hi, welcome aboard! I believe the "helmet" you're talking about is one of the Desco masks. I think you can find an image of one here:

I really don't like doing this, but... ah-em, there is a thread at, that other site that might help you in your quest for information:

Good luck,

I was old enough not to "play" Sea Hunt, but to do it. I was a teen, and on the swim team in Salem, Oregon when Sea Hunt was running. I got a mask, snorkel and fins, and was swimming with them at the time. I remember my Mom being unhappy with me when, while I was practicing snorkeling in the pool, I cleared my snorkel with her watching me. Unfortunately, Margarette Lengyl, my swim coach for the YMCA swim team, was looking down from the pool's side at the time, and I apparently got her pretty good with the snorkel's blast. I couldn't tell, as my face was underwater.

Anyway, I cannot answer your survey as I was a bit beyond where the survey starts.
