Sometime back in the mid to late 1980s, possibly the early early 90s, I remember seeing this segment on MTV.

It was this guy in a diver's helmet standing at the bottom of a shallow tropical sea (maybe 15 feet down?) in front of a coral reef, playing an electric shredder guitar with a violin bow... while dolphins swam back and forth.

Was that an actual real stunt by an actual famous guitarist? Or was it some kind of parody of 80s guitar wanking excess? And who was responsible for it?

It's been bugging me all day. I must have seen that when I was all of 10 or 11 years old. :confused:
