Why is it that the cheesiest cartoon shows had the coolest tunes? To this day I remember Diver Dan like it was yesterday. I also loved the filming through fish tanks! And they got paid for this! LOL!

I watched this on the Capt Sacto Show, KCRA in Sacramento. I must have been about 6, but I remember watching for the puppet strings.
