Sea Hunt was a popular American television series that ran from 1958-1961, starring Lloyd Bridges as Mike Nelson, a deep-sea diver who worked as a freelance underwater investigator. The series was produced by MGM Television and was created by Ivan Tors. Each episode of Sea Hunt followed Mike Nelson as he embarked on a new adventure, diving into the ocean to solve various mysteries and track down missing objects or people. The show was known for its stunning underwater cinematography and exciting action sequences, which often involved dangerous stunts performed by Lloyd Bridges himself.

The plot of Sea Hunt was simple but effective, with each episode following a similar formula: Mike Nelson would be hired to investigate a new case, usually involving a lost or stolen object or a missing person. He would then dive into the ocean, using his expert knowledge of underwater diving techniques and marine life to solve the mystery.

Along the way, Mike would encounter various obstacles and dangerous situations, such as shark attacks, equipment malfunctions, and treacherous underwater currents. But with his quick thinking and resourcefulness, he always managed to find a way out and complete his mission.

One of the most impressive aspects of Sea Hunt was its use of actual underwater footage. To capture the stunning beauty of the ocean and its creatures, the show's crew would often dive into the ocean themselves, filming everything they saw using handheld cameras and special underwater technology.

This commitment to realism helped make Sea Hunt a groundbreaking show for its time, as it showcased the underwater world in a way that had never been seen before on television. And with Lloyd Bridges' natural charisma and talent for action, the show quickly became a hit with audiences of all ages.

Over the course of its three-year run, Sea Hunt produced a total of 155 episodes, each one showcasing a different adventure for Mike Nelson and his team. From rescuing trapped divers to recovering stolen treasure, Mike's exploits captured the imagination of viewers across the country.

And even after the show went off the air, its legacy lived on. Sea Hunt inspired a new generation of divers and adventurers, who were drawn to the beauty and excitement of the underwater world. And with its unforgettable theme song and iconic imagery, the show remains a beloved classic of American television to this day.

In conclusion, Sea Hunt was a groundbreaking television series that captured the beauty and excitement of the underwater world like never before. With its stunning camerawork, exciting action sequences, and charismatic star, the show became a popular favorite with audiences across the country and helped to inspire a new generation of adventurers.

Sea Hunt is a series that is currently running and has 4 seasons (154 episodes). The series first aired on January 4, 1958.
