The APS was developed in 1971 and released for use in 1975, Sea Hunt ended in 1961

The one spear gun he is credited with using on the show was the Mordem, an Italian-designed gun that used unique 30cal pistol blanks for power.


There is a YT video by Alec Peirce, a Canadian Sea Hunt nut. The vid has a good description and one of three known surviving examples.
