I recall another underseas adventure show don't remember the name or actors
but one item all the actors had the kind of masks with which one could talk underwater. I think it only lasted one season.
Not the one Mike used a few times on SH

Roger and the female lead had such masks in the 007 film For Your Eyes Only.

On the opening credits of SH Mike puts on a full face mask and yet we never see that
same item on any of the eps.

Another different type of action show was RIPCORD only ran 2 seasons

Anyone recall the other show?

There was a short-lived show called Assignment Underwater that was very similar to Sea Hunt. It only ran one season, but it was pretty good; you can find around 8 episodes of it on DVD fairly cheap. I don't remember if they talked with the masks, though.

There was also Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, which may be what you're thinking of.

Right I guess u saw IMDB has very little info on this show

VTTBOTS was a whole different show where most of the action took place on the sub.

Like to see that one come back,

There used to be a syndicated series in the early 70's called "Primus' that starred Robert Brown of "Here Come the Brides" fame. I never saw it, but I heard it was just like "Sea Hunt". It even had the same producer, Ivan Tors.

Still another underwater show, at the time, was The Aquanauts. This showcased two 'sport for hire' divers. I think it changed title and format halfway thru the only season. Keith Larsen, who often played native Americans was one of the stars.

There is no such thing as a sport for hire diver. There are sport divers, and there are commercial divers.

There was also "The Aquanauts" (AKA "Malibu Run"), starring Jeremy Slate, Keith Larsen, and Ron Ely, that aired in 1960-1961.
