The man farthest to the right. This is a three-part quiz. What was his name, what was the name of the series he originally became famous for, and most tricky – what was his character’s name in that series? Hint: my father and the other men in the photo were all scuba divers.

Will Lefavour – is this your father? Another story for another day, maybe.

Yes, that’s my Dad. Most of my recent posts have actually indirectly or directly been about him and my mother and the interesting life they had as scuba divers, underwater photographer, model, dive shop owner, inventor, etc. and the interesting people they connected with and got to know because of it (Rex Trailer, Lloyd Bridges, Jacques Cousteau, Edward Rowe Snow, King Hussein of Jordan, etc.)

A bunch of Sea Hunt experts we have here on Cape Ann. I expected people to know Lloyd Bridges and Sea Hunt, but didn’t expect everyone to remember his character’s name.
BTW, sorry Joey and everyone, this post went up at the wrong time – it was supposed to be in my 3:00pm time slot, but I forgot to schedule the time and it deferred to 8:00am. I didn’t realize until I saw the comments.

I knew Lloyd Bridges and Sea Hunt. Would not have remembered Mike Hunt.

They filmed a Sea Hunt show on Rocky Neck ~ at the railways and up in front of the Little Theater.
My brothers, cousins and I followed the filming around Rocky Neck until we were banned from the set. So we just moved next door ~ to my Aunts house ~ got up on the wood pile to watch over the fence. Let’s say it did not take long for the director to realize we were there ~ actors laughing ~ the director turned around ~ then came bounding over to demand my Aunt Tootsie remove us ~ we stayed 😉 and the show went on. Looking back now it was interesting to watch ~ LB good looking!

Oh Flipper – I did love him!
They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there-under, under the sea!
Everyone loves the king of the sea,
Ever so kind and gentle is he,
Tricks he will do when children appear,
And how they laugh when he’s near!

Flipper was the last movie I watched at the old Strand Theater before they tore it down sometime back in the early to mid 1960s. Life in Florida looked like paridise. Later in life I took a three day vacation there and stayed for 15 years.

here is a piece of info:
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

Great reflection back to – it is always good to take a walk down memory lane see Lloyd Bridges is wearing what appears to be some uniform in this shot. 🙂

I actually think it is a nehru jacket, which was the Mod fashion in the mid-1960s to early 1970s, made popular by the Monkees and the Beatles.
