He is a well-known expert on divingbr 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 pilotbr from his sunken jet. No dialogue was possible during the underwaterbr sequences, so Bridges provided voice-over narration for all thebr installments. Nelson also educated non-diving characters inbr 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 servedbr 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.
