The series originally aired for four<br /> seasons, with 155 episodes produced. It stars Lloyd Bridges<br /> as former Navy diver Mike Nelson, and was produced by Ivan <br />Tors.<br /><br />Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) is a free-lance scuba diver, <br />a former Navy frogman who left the service about four years<br /> before the series begins. He is a well-known expert on diving<br /> who is often called on for difficult or dangerous projects. <br />He travels on his boat the Argonaut and outmaneuvers villains,<br /> salvages everything from a bicycle to a nuclear missile,<br /> rescues children trapped in a flooded cave, and other such <br />adventures. In the pilot episode, he rescues a Navy pilot<br /> from his sunken jet. No dialogue was possible during the underwater<br /> sequences, so Bridges provided voice-over narration for all the<br /> installments. Nelson also educated non-diving characters in<br /> various aspects of diving and the underwater world.<br /><br />The series made frequent references to Marineland of the <br />Pacific, which provided facilities, resources, and technical <br />advice to the production company. At the end of each episode,<br /> Bridges would appear as himself to deliver a brief comment. <br />These comments sometimes included a plea to viewers to <br />understand and protect the marine environment, along with <br />gems of wisdom from Bridges' own experiences. The series served<br /> as a stepping stone for some notable actors, including <br />Leonard Nimoy, Bruce Dern, Robert Conrad, Ross Martin, Robert <br />Clarke, Larry Hagman, Larry Pennell, Ken Curtis, Jack Nicholson, <br />and Bridges' own sons Beau and Jeff.
