What was the old Sci Fi movie with guys with big baloons on their heads?

I saw this movie back in the early 80's all I can remember is some guys with two baloon type things on their heads that I think helped them to run across the ocean. The ocean may not have been water. I think there was also a woman with large breasts. Can anyone help me with this?

I would say that this is "The Lost Continent."

Gerry has a review on Scifilm.org:

Not to be confused with "Lost Continent" which is about, best we can tell, rock climbing.

Definitely THE LOST CONTINENT. Here's a photo of Miss Dana Gillespie and her balloons:

...and thanks for the plug Andrew! :)

This may be a movie I'm looking for as well. Are they stuck in some form of predatory sargasso sea?

Yep, complete with prehensile man-eating seaweed and various other critters.

The prehensile man-eating seaweed was exactly what I was thinking about....

What a fine motion-picture!!
You have to check it out if you haven't seen it -- a sort of Hammer "Voyage of The Damned", as a cargo of ne'er-do-wells get stuck in the Wide Sargasso Sea, and find that centuries of sailors and explorers have likewise been caught, and have formed their own society -- a theocracy driven by a single mad boy at this point.
Really eerie photography, not bad acting, some odd plot twists, and those incredible sets and costumes! Plus, it's a Hammer!!!

That woman is never going to have to worry about drowning.
