- Alec shows a great picture of Mike Nelson that hung inside Lloyd Bridges Malibu beach house, but where was that house? Alec researched and found an article from the February 1962 "Skin Diver" magazine showing the Bridges house was at 21540 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, California, USA.

My family lived in Bel Air in the
late 50s/early 60s. We watched
Sea Hunt religiously. One day, as
we were driving home from the
beach, we passed a station wagon
and, wouldn't you know it, Loyd
Bridges was at the wheel. I believe
his wife was sitting next to him
and a couple of kids were in the
back. I assume it was Beau and
Jeff. Their daughter might have
been there too. The only thing we
could think to do was yell "SEA HUNT!"
and wave. Lloyd smiled at us and
waved back. A genuinely nice fellow.
Lloyd was a very generous man who gave many new actors jobs. Thanks for sharing this sweet story.
@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter My pleasure,
sir. Having gotten that response from
him and watching him in various roles
through the years, I can say that he
ranks among the greats. He was also
a far, far better actor than he has ever
been given credit for. He really could
do it all. I remember so many
characters but one in particular
comes to mind. His portrayel of
the White Knight in Alice In
Wonderland is memorable. Don't
ever feel a need to apologize for
your interest. I always say there
are good obsessions and bad
ones. Yours is a very good one.
I'm amazed that building still exists. Lucky find.
It's cute how passionate you are about sea hunt. I'm enjoying the episodes now since you first introduced it. Thank you :)
I'm glad you like it. That's why I'm doing it. Alec
Could you do a video about twin cilinder setups so how to assemble/mount and how to use?
Fabulous story! Thanks for keeping the memories alive!
Thanks for watching. Alec
Alec, good eye you have. Keep them coming!
Dear Alex ,Lloyd Bridges also played good Sci-Fi on Battlestar Galactica as Commander Cain in the old Battlestar Galactica I enjoy every show he's ever made. He was an incredible actor.
I agree. Very underrated. But very special.

@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter I have a question for you Alec what type a rifle was the shark rifle that Mike Nelson used that he kept on his boat I think it was a Japanese type 38 or something like that but I'm not sure could you check on that. Thank you ,have a great day.
Not sure at all.
I'd suggest it was a Garand only because that was standard issue for GIs and a lot of stuff in those days was war surplus. Many Garands were sporterized by simply having the stock shortened from the full stock to the shorter, hunting style.
Plus the 30:06 cartridge has always been an American favorite.
An interesting aside is that the famous American Garand was designed by a Canadian.
And lastly, while not well-known, Garand is pronounced to rhyme with 'errand'.
So, after all that, I don't know. I'll send this to a friend of mine who is a Garand nut and Sea Hunt nut too. Maybe he'll be able to give you a better answer.

Cool! I love stuff like that. Also, you have a really nice set for shooting there. The bottom of the stairs sort of look like siding - like you're outside on the deck of a beach shack or something. (You could probably boost that effect if you covered up the light switches on the wall with an oar or something nautical.)
Well, I'm glad you like it. That's our home in the country. Thanks for watching. Alec
I just turned 55 this month so I was only an infant when Sea Hunt ended. They must have been showing re-runs in the mid 60's because I can remember watching it with my Dad.
I recently purchased all 4 seasons on DVD. In all of the episodes that I have watched so far, I noticed that the J valves on all the tanks are in the down position and no J rods are installed. I wonder why?
Probably because all the dives were made in 20' of water or less. At the time of the show, they were not interested in technical accuracy. I'm sure not many 10 year-old kids noticed that!
You are either a noob, a techie, more of a Jaques, or more of a Lloyd. This is how categorize other divers. Thanks Alec
With almost 60 years as a scuba diver, I'm no noob. Did a lot of light commercial work and lots of deep stuff but I'm no Techie. Not a big fan of the Cousteaus. I guess I'll have to settle for being Mike. Ah well. Thanks for watching. Alec
Checked out the house on Google Maps - definitely right on the PCH!
Pretty neat huh?
Alec
Interesting: recent on Trulia for 21540 PCH: www.trulia.com/p/ca/malibu/21540-pacific-coast-hwy-malibu-ca-90265--1001672983
Wow! Pretty neat John.
It would still be a nice place to live today although the PCH is much busier.
Thanks.
Alec
8:47 "I don't know if the Bridges' still own it or not..."
Current records show that it is owned by "Dorothy Bridges (Estate of Deceased)," with Susan Bridges (Jeff's wife) having power of attorney.
Wow! That's great and the "For Lease" video of the house is really nice.
I can see posters of some of Lloyd's movies on the walls.
It's clearly been all renovated recently.
My picture sure would have been at home in the garage.
Next time I'm in LA I will try to arrange a tour. That would be a thrill.
Thanks Brian.
was the actor, a diver before the show or was the show built around his already being a diver?
Lloyd Bridges was a well known actor before Sea Hunt but never dived before getting the part of our hero Mike Nelson. He was trained on diving during the shooting of the first episodes and only close ups of Lloyd's face where shown. In latter episodes you could see Lloyd's face diving. By the end of the series Lloyd's wife and kids were all divers.
That's Great Alec, I wonder if the owner's, if not the Bridges know it was there house back in the day.
Next time I'm in LA, I intend to visit. Might surprise them to find out. Alec
Oh, there's no quesiton they know about it. People who have those beach houses know the history, and celebrity ownership is always a feature of the information in every sale.
He was an ACTOR
A GREAT actor.
Here's a video that shows what the interior looked like three years ago: ruclips.net/video/QL__F1T0G4o/видео.html
Hey don't feel silly. Gordon lighyfoot broke a guitar string on stage in LA. I got it and sewed it onto my guitar strap
Oh wow, nice.

Wonder who owns the Argonaut now?
It was owned by a good friend and fellow Sea Hunt nut Rocky in San Diego.
Unfortunately he passed away a while ago. I've not yet learned who has it now.

Would be pretty cool if you could acquire it Alec, I'd maybe even fly out to see it too 👍🏼
Finding it shouldn't be too hard. I have some leads I could follow.
Buying it is easy - PayPal right!!
Getting to me in Ontario might be an issue!
It would be neat but, not likely to happen.
Now if one of my friends in California is willing to help, maybe we can do something.............
Thanks again guys.
thats a falcon
Yep, a lot like this one: assets.hemmings.com/uimage/57049516-770-0@2X.jpg?rev=1
He's very likeable, but I would tell him the same thing I tell my husband - keep your fat finger out of the video while narrating a still photo!
Will do.
