Voit James Bond 007 Fin – 1965
In 1965 Voit was commissioned to supply all of the dive equipment for the James Bond “Thunderball” feature film. The now classic movie highlighted modern day scuba equipment in a way it had never been done before. Underwater battle scenes with virtual underwater armies of divers engaged in watery spear gun warfare, along with underwater vehicles and a brand new single hose regulator worn by James Bond (Sean Connery), while everyone else was stuck using double hose units. It is unclear as to whether the fins were actually used in the making of the film, or simply a marketing maneuver attempting to capitalize on the rage over anything “James Bond” at the time.
