[edit] Summary of series

In "the near future" (beginning in the year 2018), the series follows the adventures of the high-tech submarine seaQuest DSV 4600. Funded by the United States government and other private loans, the seaQuest was the largest submarine to ever travel the seas. Designed by navy captain Nathan Bridger, the seaQuest was originally designed as a military vessel. However, following the death of his son Robert during a global war in the early twenty first century, Bridger retires from the service and retreats to an island somewhere in the Yucatán Peninsula. Devoting the majority of his time to science, Bridger rescued a dolphin, whom he named Darwin, from a fisherman's net in a lagoon. He attempted to develop a form of verbal communication between humans and dolphins, but eventually tried to develop a series of hand signals. During his self-imposed exile on the island, Bridger's wife, Carol, also dies, leaving him totally alone. Following the Livingston Trench incident in which the world was almost plunged into a nuclear war, the seaQuest was left without a captain. The ship was recalled to drydock and refitted to become less of a military force and more of an exploration and research vessel. Realizing that the ship needed a captain that had not been "sitting with his finger on the trigger", the new United Earth Oceans Organization (or UEO) recruits Bridger to assume command of the boat he designed.

Note: Episodes are listed in chronological (production) order.

[edit] Continuity

Episodes were not always shown in production order; as a result, certain consequences of episodes do not always carry over to the next. For example, the episode "The Stinger" shows Admiral Noyce as the Secretary General of the UEO, a position he obtains in "The Last Lap at Luxury" which originally aired afterwards (the DVD release maintains the broadcast order, including this continuity error). Similarly, the episode "Blindsided" shows the seaQuest still on Earth, even though it had been taken to Hyperion and destroyed in "Splashdown." Additionally, the episode "Brainlock" shows Lieutenant Brody still alive, even though he died in "SpinDrift." Furthermore, Captain Bridger's beard disappears after "And Everything Nice", but reappears in "Watergate", only to disappear again throughout the rest of the second season.
