The Aquanauts background

The Aquanauts

Professional salvage divers Larry and Drake, later replaced by Mike, earned a living salvaging sunken wrecks in Southern California's deep waters. Their frequent assignments often led to confrontations with danger.

Professional salvage divers Larry and Drake (later replaced by Mike) earned their living braving the dangers of the deep to recover sunken wrecks off Southern California. Their frequent encounters with human dangers—those who wanted to reach the wrecks first or had vested interests in keeping them where they were—caused conflicts on many assignments. Midway through the program's run, the divers moved their shop to Malibu, and the show became "Malibu Run."
