Diver Dan -  The live-action children's marionette adventure DIVER DAN/SYN/1960 starred Frank Freda as the intrepid ocean explorer Diver Dan who wore a deep sea  diving outfit and Suzanne Turner as Miss Minerva his mermaid friend. Their chief nemesis were Baron Barracuda and his stooge sidekick Trigger Fish who lived in the Sargasso Sea in a cave by Teetering Rock. They continually hatched plans to take over the bottom of the ocean. Other fish marionettes (voiced by Allen Swift) included: Finley Haddock, Gabby the Clam, Gill-Espie, a bongo-playing beatnik fish, Glow Fish who lived by the Bottomless Pit, Goldie the Goldfish, Hammer-head Shark, Hermit Crab, Sawfish Sam, Scout Fish, who sported an Indian tomahawk and feathers, Sea Biscuit the Seahorse, and Skipper Kipper. The Diver Dan program was produced by Hal Tunis and Louis Kellman and each episode ran seven-minutes in length.
