For those of you who have a streaming media player, you can see episodes of Sea Hunt on DreamTV (it's one of the channels on my Roku). Or the web address is dreamtvs.com -- maybe they are there as well (I haven't looked). I've heard there are Sea Hunt episodes on Youtube, but here is an alternative. Just thought I'd mention it!

I am a Sea Hunt fan and just watched a DVD episode (Port Security) where Mike Nelson is trapped in a ballast tank in a freighter tied up in a West Coast harbor. Is anyone here familiar with where this episode was filmed ....I'm guessing Wilmington or Terminal Island , in the LA or Long Beach harbor ?

Haven't seen that one yet; I always like the shows where you get to see train-yards... it's funny how, unless it's a contemporary-piece, you always get locomotives that are way too new: back in the 80's, I watched a made for TV movie about Frank Nitti, Big-Al's trigger-man, at the end he commits suicide by throwing himself in front of a train: it was a diesel-locomotive--SNORT I've seen a few episodes of EMERGENCY! shot in train-yards...

Last week I watched "16 Fathoms Deep" which stars Lloyd Bridges and is about helmet equipped sponge diving in Tarpon Springs. The movie was made in 1948... I was surprised by the date since the underwater sequences were very well done.
It is on Netflix if you stream that.

There is another version of 16 Fathoms Deep that was filmed in 1934 starring Creighton Chaney (later known as Lon Chaney Jr). This film was shot in California and Chaney played the hero. In the 1948 film he played the villain. Here is a link to info about this earlier film: www.imdb.com/title/tt0025800/

Dog-gone-it Sid--ya beat me to that one!!! Yeah, that one is pretty dang cool: as I recall, we watched it on Pub-D-Hub, one of the free channels on Roku. We got Pub-D-Hub Gold, 3bux a year; gosh that's not EVEN a penny a day Speaking of Roku, again, I was thinking about you last night Dave. Another one of the free channels is The Ocean Network, they show all-kinda water stuff, and there was a film shot in Alaska... some obscure place called Sitka We were surprised at how much color was going on--holy-smokes! Gosh, it was like Belize! Jaybird

Jay,
There was a period of time, from about 2004 til about 2008 when we were getting film crews up here all the time. BBC did a Sea Lion documentary and Discovery did a shark show here and in Seward. Not to mention a few whale documentaries which I am sure featured Jan Straley, a well known marine mammalogist that lives here with her husband.
I was fishing out west in 2007 and when we got to Kodiak after being near Sinuk Is for a couple months, I called my friend Brian at the dive shop to see how things were going. We chatted about a BBC film crew that was here filming the herring spawn and the Stellars Sea Lions: One of Brian's dives involved setting up the cameras on some weighted tri-pods and then backing off a bit so they could get wide angle footage of the Sea Lions acting semi normal. Well, low and behold the Sea Lions all disappeared. Brian was thinking, "What the heck"? Then he heard some strange clicking sounds and turned around to see a pod of Orca's swimming past, no more than 10 or so feet away. Would have made for great TV, but the camera were all mounted on the tri-pods!
C'est la vie said the frenchman.

Yeah--me too! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_whaleEvidently Killer Whales are THE-top apex-predator--there's NOTHING they can't and won't eat, but have no natural predators. The way they play with their food is--GULP--nervous making. Huh, wonder if there is any footage of one eating a Great White Shark: not that I actually want to see it, it's more of me thinking out loud. Jaybird
