*EDIT* March 2024: Video had to be uploaded to an alternative site, as it was banned from Youtube after 4 years….

Sorry for the text in the picture, that was embedded in the source video.
Ha, I am sure you didn’t expect that outcome! 😉
I don’t know why she is separating from him on purpose like that. I don’t know any of the background stories since I don’t speak Portuguese.
And it’s quite odd how fast they run out of air. Hard to tell how much time elapsed, but he realizes that she is gone rather quickly. They both should have air for around 45 minutes.
The first time she checks her air reserves she is already out, was she diving around without orientation for over 30 minutes?
–
However, what makes this scene so remarkable are the “sound effects”. She sucks desperately for air and I actually never heard that sound so “loud” like in here.
I would say they recorded that sound later in the sound studio and added it afterward.
Her increasing panic in combination with these sounds makes a really great peril scene in my opinion! A rare gem!
Somehow ironic that he manages to rescue her, then wanna retrieve his camera, doesn’t check his air supply before the dive, and therefore drowns later on.
This odd scene from a Russian movie (tv show?) shows how much you can do wrong when you go on a scuba dive!
I don’t understand the Russian audio but clearly, the woman never dove before and the guy has some experience with scuba diving.
Let’s start with some preview pictures:
He helps her with the gear 😉
On their dive some things go….
….terribly wrong!

And here is the video:
–
Oh man! These two do a LOT of things that you shouldn’t do while diving! 😉
Her excuse may be the little to no experience that she has. A fine example of why you shouldn’t dive without a proper scuba certificate!
She gets a panic attack and accidentally rips out his regulator, he should now just retrieve his regulator and the situation could be under control again.
But he grabs the regulator of the panicking frogwoman….what a disaster move!
These two have 4 working regulators in total…but what do they do? Use only 1(!) of them! Oh man…..
Of course, pulling out her regulator makes things worse and she heads to the surface….way too fast!
These two can be happy that they are still alive. 😆

I don’t have an IMDB link this time, I just know the English title:
Luckily a new, better copy of a certain movie showed up. 🙂
This is an UPGRADE to a scene that I posted in the very early months of this Blog, in December 2013.
Most of you should know this one….if not… you surely missed something!
This scene is undoubtful one of the very best scuba peril scenes that you will ever see, so it deserves this upgrade badly. And for sure it is THE best scuba peril scene from my country (so far).
The picture quality is slightly better now and I wanna make a worthy post that fits this EPIC scene.
And as this is a rather small TV movie from 2000 with only 73 ratings on IMDB, I doubt that there will be ever an HD release, so this might be the best quality for this one…ever.
Story:
A young woman is on vacation with her parents. She falls in love with a handsome guy who happens to run a scuba school at the beach nearby.
She is curious and wants to dive with him. After a training session in the pool, he convinces her to make a nightly dive to a wreck.
He has special plans for her…..murderous…. plans! He has a job to fulfill!
Preview:
Her first scuba training with the handsome instructor!
Night dive….
….to a wreck!
He lures her into the wreck!
And the….
….horror starts!
Can she escape?
Can she survive?

And here is the video:
–
I envy those of you who just saw this scene for the first time!
There are some aspects, that could have been done better for sure…..but damn, when it comes to scuba peril scenes….this one is hard to top.
Analysis:
[watch the video first!!!]
First, the sneaky bastard lures her into a wreck, perfect for his evil plans.
He is the experienced diver and she has nearly no practice at all.
But seemingly he is too sure of himself! Early on he makes a first mistake.
Instead of a surprising, simultaneous attack on the mask AND regulator, he “just” uses one hand to attack her as he rips out the regulator. And he could easily grab her mask afterward as she is completely surprised by his attack and needs some seconds to realize that he wants to drown her.
I love the shocked look on her face as she realizes what her beloved instructor is actually up to!
But instead, he grabs her arms. Ok, if he would have been able to control her arms…that wouldn’t be a problem. Without her regulator, she would drown quickly. But she manages to escape his grip!
And again, he makes a mistake….as she is reaching for the shaft of that champagne glass he could have easily ripped her scuba mask off which would have made her pretty helpless immediately.
But he somehow just pointlessly yanks at her….what is he doing???
However, as she slams that glass shaft into his leg…. he starts to gain control over the situation again.
The way she manages to retrieve her regulator greedily sucks for air and is so close to escaping the wreck….is greatly done! Now he is in full control as he pulls her back in and starts yanking with force on one of her air hoses (I don’t think that it is actually her (main) regulator as she is breathing from it for some seconds afterward. And she could have used her second regulator otherwise, pretty sure she had one. Of course only as long as there is still air remaining in her tank.
I don’t know if you actually could rip of such a hose like that…but sure as hell, it’s a great view as her air starts gushing out with force! Especially as she reaches behind her to see if she can do anything about it.
As the evil instructor leaves her trapped in the wreck, she manages to stay somewhat calm and manages to focuses on how to escape.
She realizes that her quickly emptying tank builds an air pocket and gets the oxygen she desperately needs.
Also, she finds a method to break through that window and thereby escape the wreck.
Ok, that fact that she manages to swim up the whole way, even stopping so that he would drive away….might not be SOOOO realistic. And also if she would make it to the surface, she might get the bends as the wreck was seemingly in some depth.
But of course, for the movie to go on, the lead actress had to survive this trap…
–
In conclusion:
This scene has so much to offer….
A surprise attack where he rips out her regulator! A struggle! A counterattack from her!
He pulls her back in and rips off an air hose! A tank spewing bubbles! Her desperate breathing in the air pocket!
Her struggle to break through the glass! Her desperate ascend and panic attack as she reaches the surface!

>>>>>> As a BONUS for the few VIP members of this site, I uploaded 5 videos from this scene to the VIP site of this month (May).
These scenes are between just 6 seconds and 7 minutes long ….and focus on different aspects of this scene. With a little cutting….some “sexy” results showed up. 🙂
Well, I have to say I wasn’t that excited about a new movie with scuba scenes since I saw the trailer for “Sanctum” several years back!
This one seems all about two frogwomen (sisters actually) and their diving trip that really takes a bad turn. I don’t understand the Swedish dialogues in the trailer, but it is rather easy to understand the basic story:
As one of them is trapped underwater the older sister needs to supply her trapped, younger sister with full air tanks to stay alive and find a way to free her before all air supplies are gone.
And the trailer alone shows already quite a lot of scuba peril scenes and hints at how much there might be in the full movie. I’m not the biggest fan of drysuits, but that is only a minor issue. They have modern full-face scuba masks, actually quite a rare sight in movies. And the last FFM’s I saw in movies were masks that were designed just for the movies, and they weren’t very attractive.
As you can see in the last moments of the trailer the movie will premiere in Sweden on February 14th. It doesn’t have any premiere dates for other countries now and somehow I don’t think that will change that close to the premiere. I do hope that the movie will surface along with subtitles in the near future as I really MUST see this one!
An interesting detail: 1:21 into the trailer there is a diver with a different scuba mask. Is that another diver? If yes, who is he/she and what does this diver intend to do?
Or is the diver her older sister? But why would she now use a different scuba mask? Is her old one broke by then? Many interesting questions 😉

Official storyline:
A few days after Christmas, Swedish/Norwegian half-sisters, Ida and Tuva, set out on a winter dive in a remote part of the Norwegian coastline. Towards the end of the dive, a rockslide traps Tuva underwater. As Ida surfaces to call for help, she discovers that the rockslide has struck above water as well, burying their equipment, phones, and car keys… they are completely cut off from any chance of outside rescue. As the frantic race for survival unfolds, Ida is put to the ultimate test of character and forcefulness. During Ida’s fight to save Tuva, a fractured sisterhood is exposed, and when all seems lost, the stakes rise beyond simple survival.

This is a rather special scene I forgot to upload so far.
It’s a rather rare movie that is nearly 30 years old…but luckily it was shown in full HD on TV!
Story: A female scuba diver explorer the underwater world alone as suddenly she gets attacked from behind….
Preview:
She explores the underwater world!
But someone is sneaking up on her….
….to steal her regulator!

And here is the video:
–
Hah, I am sure you were surprised by that twist! 😉
Pretty brutal “test” to attack his own daughter like that and to rip out her regulator!
I guess many here would have loved to see what would have happened if that wasn’t a test, but a real attack. 😉
However, I really like the sneaky attack and the short struggle afterward. Sadly there is no other scuba scene in that whole movie which made this opening a little …..odd.
–
The title of the movie was actually in the video…but in case you missed it:
This scene was laying around on my HD for some months, totally forgot about it….thanks to the one who recommended it to me!
In this scene of a german movie, we have a bunch of treasure hunters that dive to find some important historic treasure.
One of them is a female professor with only a little diving experience….and in this case, that brings her into trouble! 😉
Preview:
Ready to dive!
There she is! Already…
….in trouble!

And here is the video:
–
Yeah, it gets dangerous underwater if you don’t know what is behind you…
And when that valve breaks….you are into deep trouble. But at least she wasn’t alone, even she wasn’t really near her group.
However, always an ….interesting…..sight to see so many bubbles ascending to the surface 😉
If you don’t speak german and wanna know about the dialogues:
Before the dive, the female professor wants to join the dive. The leader doesn’t want her on that dive due to her low dive experience. She insists and he gives in.
After the dive, he asks her why she wasn’t close by and why she was so reckless….blabla.
These scenes are from a very new movie, I tried to upload the short clips (under 4 minutes) on Youtube, but they were blocked right away (like in the past with the prequel to this movie).
So, these videos will only be on this Blog, but not on my Youtube channel.
In this movie, we got 4 very young women that wanna explore an ancient underwater cave system.
And SURPRISE….that wasn’t a really good idea 😉
They have to fight monstrous “ghost” sharks and their dwindling air reserves!
Preview “Getting ready to dive / Descend to the caves”:
^^^WATCH BOTH VIDEOS FIRST BEFORE YOU CONTINUE READING!^^^
Well, you didn’t expect that ending! 😉
For that reason, I avoided any hints of drowning in the text and pictures above.
This one is a pretty great one for the drowning-peril fans out there.
I wanted to watch this movie for a while and I was spoilered that she would drown in that scene….unfortunately.
Never expected to see a shark “drown” a female diver. Yes, of course, that wasn’t his intention, but by biting into her scuba gear, he forced her to give it up.
And without it -deep down in that cave system- she hadn’t had a chance without any help in range.
She drowns pretty quick, but in her state of panic, with the shark on her tail….no surprise.
The movie offers a lot of underwater scenes as they are underwater for at least 75% of the movie!
I generally like full-face scuba masks, but these aren’t my taste. They show “everything” (what the producers clearly wanted) and look very “unstylish”.
The scuba gear is incomplete with these “shorty” wetsuits and the missing fins. For me, more would be …..more here 😉
The “we run out of oxygen soon” is a topic for parts of the movie, but unlike in the first movie, it wasn’t handled very well in this one in my opinion.
However, I strongly recommend that you watch the whole movie if you like to see these 4 frogwomen in underwater peril for a looooong time!
