Could it be Forbidden Island?
Not seen it myself, but features Don the Beachcomber regular Martin Denny, and the dates are similar. This from http://www.martindenny.com

"Forbidden Island movie (1959)"
Apparently, Martin Denny appeared in this Charles Griffith directed movie as "Marty". In this 66 minute feature, released by Columbia, a mad treasure hunter hires some frogmen to retrieve an emerald from a sunken wreck. One of the divers finds out that the treasure hunter may have killed someone to get the gem. Guess what, this diver then gets killed too. The frogmen get greedy and kill each other off while the gem rests in (salty) peace.
