I don't know if this has been asked on the boards before but does anyone know of a supplier that stocks the original series of 'The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau'? It was what prompted me to become a diver in the first place and I haven't seen it here in the UK. I did post a message on a newsgroup about 4 years ago and someone replied with an address in the States but I lost it. Can anyone help? TIA

Along the same lines... I've been wondering where to find the old Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom. I miss ol' Marv & Jim. I guess I have to credit my addiction to the discovery channel on them and JC too.

Look up Bennett Marine Video on the net. They used to carry the Cousteau videos. Sorry, don't have the link handy.

Neil,

Thanks for the info but a search through Bennet Marine's site didn't come up with anything. :0(

Anybody else have any ideas?

Gee, do I have to do everything? :^)
This will get you started, I'll find more.
I haven't checked these out yet, but just did a quick search.

Cheers Neil,

I am pleased to find there are so many videos available but I think my bank manager won't be too happy. Oh well. :0)

The Cousteau series and ` Seahunt` with Lloyd Bridges is what got me diving (30 yrs later !). I`d also be interested to know if the series is availible on video. However, the U.S. uses a different VHS system that the European one.
