Sea Hunt - The Aquanettes (1961)

There were 155 episodes of Sea Hunt over four seasons running from 1958 to 1961.  The Aquanettes are from episode 12 of the fourth season.  Now I don't think we ever got this over in the UK or if we did it was way before my time and never got repeated on my local ITV network.
So being ignorant to the show I'll quote IMDB for the episode description  and leave it up to you to nod your head with nostalgia or shrug, depending on which side of the Atlantic you're living.
Mike takes part in a special program known as Operation Astronette. His job is to train three female astronauts in underwater survival skills.
Another Men into Space helmet appearance.  More pretty girls in a space suit. What more do you want.

    The Women are training for a mission to Venus, that the voyceover says is a planet "of vapour, mist and water world"! The old idea of Venus as a oceanic planet that would end with Mariner 2, one year after this episode was aired.
