TV show from 70's or 80's

I'm trying to remember the name of a show that I loved as a kid (late 70's early 80's). It was a team of rescue personell. They were mostly diving and using a helicopter. In the opening sequence you see the helicopter, from the bottom, spiral as it takes off.

Any ideas?

Possibly 'Riptide' -- IMDb - Riptide (TV Series 1984–1986)


Hadn't thought about that show until saw your post.

I was working portable seismic exploration out of Elko, Nevada in '88, and another survey crew flew up in the Screaming Mimi for a safety meeting.

Welcome to Summit Helicopter

It was still "hot pink, big mouth, smoke belching" when I "blew" through the interior.

it's not riptide. I loved that show. This show was like the late 70's and was a rescue team or even an air sea rescue group. I think it was only on for like 1-2 seasons.

I think that 240 Robert is it. I found one of the clips that I remember. A guy put CO in a tank of one of the divers.

Was it called 'Sea Rescue'. I've tried Googling it and I cannot find it. I've also tried YouTube. Used to love the theme music!

Your post made me remember a classic helicopter rescue show from the 1950s called Whirleybirds; it was almost as popular as Sea Hunt!
