Woman On Boat Appears Sea Sick, Scuba Divers Underwater — Clip Details

A woman with dark curly hair sits on a boat in Acapulco, Mexico, in 1982, wearing a dark t-shirt and shorts, appearing unwell as she holds her stomach. The footage, captured on vintage 8mm film, shows the boat moving across deep blue water under a bright sky, with a white curved railing and a chain visible. The scene transitions to two scuba divers swimming underwater, wearing masks and fins, creating bubbles in the dark blue sea. The film exhibits classic Super 8 grain, color distortion, and a nostalgic, personal home movie aesthetic.

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: This 1982 Acapulco home-movie clip supports archive requests for early 1980s travel, boating, seasickness, and recreational scuba footage for documentary or period cutaway use.
Period detail: The dark casual clothing, small boat seating, visible rail, and saturated 8mm color may show a privately filmed early 1980s tourist outing off Acapulco.
Home-movie behavior: The footage has unstaged home-movie value in the seated woman’s apparent discomfort on the boat before the scene shifts to divers moving through the water.
What appears in frame: Visible elements include a woman seated on a boat, dark blue sea, white curved rail, a chain or line near the water, two underwater scuba divers, fins, masks, and bubbles.
Film character: The clip carries 8mm archival texture through soft focus, visible grain, blue-purple color shift, uneven exposure, and handheld framing across both boat and underwater scenes.
Edit role: An editor could use this as a brief travel-memory insert, a transition from boat ride to scuba activity, or a cutaway illustrating the bodily reality of leisure tourism.
Historical context: The scene visually reflects private recreational travel in Acapulco, with boating and scuba activity presented from a personal vacation perspective rather than a staged tourism film.
Research note: People and faces are visible, so likeness review may be needed in addition to separate copyright assessment, while no logos, audible music, or private property are evident from the supplied frames.
Research search match: Relevant researcher searches include 1982 Acapulco 8mm boat footage, woman seasick on boat home movie, vintage scuba divers underwater, and Mexico vacation Super 8 sea footage.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with adjacent material from the same reel, then with other 1982 Acapulco travel footage, and then with boating, seasickness, scuba diving, or private vacation sea scenes.
