Aug 20, 2008 - I was 14 years old when "Diver Dan" started showing as part of a local Chicago TV show called "Paddleboat". I considered myself "too old" for DD but, fortunately, had a younger sister who watched it. This allowed me to watch it without the constant teenage fear of losing dignity. I just loved the trigger fish with the constant cigarette in his mouth!

Aug 20, 2008 - Now you mention it, TLJ1945 -- a children's television character with a cigarette in his mouth would never be allowed now! :-)

Aug 20, 2008 - Oh very funny, TVNETWORKS! :-)I do agree with coolestdude80, though; Miss Minerva was *so* beautiful...

Aug 20, 2008 - Did Diver Dan and Miss Minerva ever actually meet in any of the episodes?

Aug 20, 2008 - Boy this brings back memories - I was 7 and Miss Minerva was sooo beautiful. Somehow I forgot that DD talked like a ham stage actor!

Aug 20, 2008 - After a bad report card, my parents did not allow me to watch TV for a while. My big sister "negotiated" with them to allow me to keep watching this show. I was a big fan!

Aug 20, 2008 - Thats what me and my brothers always said that they would get it on under water.But you never ever saw the real diver Dan.

Aug 20, 2008 - Clearly, Minerva had some hot-cups.
meesterfonnyboy Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Diver Dan is credited as being portrayed by Frank Freda, but that "ham stage actor" voice was definitely Allen Swift's (as were the voices of all the fish). Whether Freda and Swift were the same person I don't know. If not, it's unclear why Freda was dubbed.

Aug 20, 2008 - I was a little kid in Los Angeles in the early 60's and remember this show well. Wasn't there a bad gangster fish with a cigarette in it's mouth in some of the episodes?
