The video was blocked on YouTube for a scene of 1:30 minutes already… so I didn’t try to cut it down further
–
Watch the video before you continue!
Let’s start with the aspects I didn’t like:
Ok, I get that they try to be really sneaky and don’t want to attract any attention… but are we supposed to believe that they drive that boat and get ready
for a dive without any artificial lights? Just with the moonlight?
Well, it looks quite artificial and bad… as if the picture was heavily edited.
And I actually do wanna see what is going on 😉
Ok, let’s go to the underwater part. Some parts outside the wreck look really CGI-heavy… and not in a good way. #bad #nobudget
But once they are inside the wreck… the scene really lifts off 🙂
I think the guy looks really feminine with the hood and mask on, but it’s easy enough to tell them apart.
He is the one with a regulator that has the red colored parts on it. The one who then gets locked away.
It’s interesting that the bad guy attacks the woman first, but ok… perhaps he didn’t realize who is who before he attacked.
We get a LOT of great scuba scenes here 🙂
He steals her regulator, she puts it back in
He attacks her from behind, steals her regulator again(!), slices her air hose(!!!), AND even steals her whole tank! #overkill
I was nearly surprised that he didn’t also steal her mask, her hood, and her fins 😆
Ok, with her tank still on she could have used her second regulator… but only for a very short time as the hose to the main regulator was sliced.
The scene is done too fast for my taste, but ok… still …. quite an EPIC scene!
It’s also weird that they are so low on air as they just arrived in the wreck… but ok, doesn’t change anything about the scuba fight scene.
What is much more odd is that the good guy who had a spear gun used it to poke that bad guy with it instead of shooting at him. Why?
Maybe he thought he might have hit the woman? Or did he not know how to shoot?
But those are all small aspects… all in all it’s a great scene for my taste!
I love to find such scenes in new TV shows and movies as I know all the good scuba-fight scenes from the past by now… more or less.
AND…. I do have a nice BONUS for you folks!
I edited the scene down to a short video with ONLY the scenes in it where the bad guy attacks the woman!
Sorry, I was too busy to make a post yesterday… but here is one today!
I could have sworn that this one was on the blog already… but it wasn’t. Maybe it got lost from the transfer from the old blog to this one… hard to say.
This one is a classic that was recommended to me over ten years ago as I was looking for new scuba scenes.
We have a man and a woman who are looking for treasure… but get attacked by some evil divers!
Preview:
Getting ready…
…for the dive!
They get attacked by 2 goons!
She is in trouble!

And yes… that is Christopher Lee! Maybe not in the best phase of his great career 😉
Well, sadly this is the best picture quality that is available for this movie.
It is a rather unknown TV movie from the early 1980s, and it was never published on anything other than a VHS.
The scuba fight is very short and her part is even shorter… just some frames.
Still, it is a very cool scene as such scuba fights with women are very rare.
The way the bad guy pins her against the wall and how she blocks the knife… really cool!
And the method by which the hero defeats the evil goons is quite … unique!
Even though I would prefer some sliced air hoses 😉
The episode title “Der Schwarze Hai” (the black shark) is a nice reference to “Der weiße Hai” (the white shark) which is the German title of the blockbuster “Jaws”.
Today I have a very fresh video from a very new movie!
I had this one on my radar for some months and watched it just 2 days ago.
We have 5 friends who wanna explore a newly found warship from WW2.
2 of these 5 friends are women and we get around 60 minutes of scuba scenes in the movie!
I made a highlight video for you folks to enjoy….
Preview:
They are getting ready!
But things go horribly wrong….
….she doesn’t like what she sees!

Watch the video before you continue!
These scenes are my personal highlights from the movie.
Of course, I could have made a much longer video… but the longer it gets the bigger the chances are that it gets taken down by Youtube.
Yeah, the movie has a lot of standard “shark horror flick” elements in it, as the CGI fantasy sharks that are attacking the divers the whole time.
Plus ….you shouldn’t think too much about some aspects 😉
As I mentioned, there are around 60 minutes of scuba scenes in this one… can’t post all that.
I definitely recommend watching the whole movie and I will get the Blu-ray for my collection… if they will publish one.
I like that the 5 divers here are using real FFMs instead of some Hollywood-invented masks that show the whole face.
The 5 divers have some different scuba gear…. and at least there are some differences so that you can more easily see who is who.
As the 5 are trapped in the wreck by sharks … the air is running low, and that adds a lot to the intensity of the movie! 🙂
Ok, there are quite a few odd scenes with the air management here:
The dive leader says they should head back when they have two-thirds left… a reasonable thing to do, especially in a wreck.
He then checked his console and he had less than 100 bar left… which is less than half. Huh? What?
Later he says that he has more than two-thirds left… ? WHAT? Later in the dive and he has suddenly more air left? MAGIC!
Also, at the time… one of the women had less than 15% air left… hmh, very hard to believe that a much shorter and fit woman would use THAT much air in comparison to him!
But ok, I can ignore such things in …such…. a movie.
It has quite a lot of peril elements and it’s certainly entertaining if you accept the fantasy sharks.
The moment when the frogwoman runs out of air is certainly a highlight!
Great job Mr. Soundguy 🙂
She remains calm and has quite some freediving skills. Even it is quite odd that she doesn’t clear her scuba mask!
Not much sense in swimming around in a flooded mask…
The scene where she hides from the shark and breathes from the air pocket is also quite intense!
I’m quite happy that we had some good new scuba movies in the last few years 🙂
