Sea Hunt It’s Still Alive reviews Female of the Species from season one in 1958. In this episode Mike takes on the challenge of teaching a woman how to dive. He doesn’t know why Kay Dalton wants to go to 150 feet but one thing he does know is she is not good in the water. After many mishaps, Mike tells her he won’t teach her anymore.
That doesn’t deter Kay. She goes out and buys her own equipment. It’s then that we are introduced to an insurance investigator, Pete, who tells us that Kay is really Joanna Morrow who’s boyfriend stole industrial diamonds. Her boyfriend is in prison so they figure Joanna is trying to find the diamonds.
Joanna makes the dive and finds the drum containing the diamonds. As she cuts the line and starts riding the drum to the surface, Mike catches up and stops her from the rapid ascent and saves her. The diamonds are recovered and Mike and Pete agree to let Joanna off the hook.
