Series Description

SeaQuest DSV was a 60 minute sci-fi series on NBC about a highly technical "submarine", in a world twenty-five years in the future! The Captain of the craft (Nathan Bridger) had also designed it. It served a dual purpose of scientific research and enforcement of world peace. There was often conflict between the scientists and the military crew over how to handle problems encountered. The characters also included a 16-year old genius, an "ESPer", a talking Dolphin, and the Captain even had a holographic "consultant".

SeaQuest DSV Trivia

Steven Spielberg was one of the executive producers for the show. He also produced the series, "Amazing Stories", "Taken Miniseries" and "Terra Nova".

The SeaQuest craft was 1000 feet long! The "DSV" was an acromyn for "Deep Submergence Vehicle".

Stacy Haiduk was voted the girl with the prettiest eyes and best figure by her senior class-mates in high school. Fans of the TV series, "Superboy (1988)" recognized Stacy immediately from her role as Lana Lang, Superboy's "girlfriend".

At the end of the first season, the SeaQuest DSV was destroyed and replaced (next season) with a more advanced craft.

At the end of the second season, the new SeaQuest DSV was transported to another planet and seemingly destroyed! At the beginning of the next season, it reappeared on Earth 10 years later. The crew had not aged and couldn't remember what had happened!

Jonathan Brandis (Lucas Wolenczak) doubled-up on his courses in high school so he could graduate before starting his role on SeaQuest. He's done nearly 100 television commercials. He dated some of the most beautifull girls in the business including Tiffani-Amber Thiessen.

Michael LeLuise (Seaman Tony Picollo) and Peter DeLuise (Dagwood) are brothers and the sons of actor/comedian Dom DeLuise. Peter's first public appearance was on Dom DeLuise's television program. Before joining SeaQuest DSV as a regular cast member, Peter appeared in episode #16, "Whale Song" as "Wiggins".

Roy Scheider is best-known for his role as "Chief Martin Brody" in the 1975 film "Jaws" and its sequels.
