A female and a male diver get attacked…. by a net!

Well, the net isn’t magical… but it gets deliberately thrown over them to kill them!

I have known about this movie for a very long time, and I made a post about one scene ten years ago:

There is also this scene that I never posted here because of … a rather embarrassing reason….:

I thought that both divers in this scene would be guys.

Only one of them is shown well from the front. We only see very little on the surface of the other one.

Lately, this movie was brought up in a forum thread, and I watched that scene again… and I have to admit:

No, those are not two guys in that scene, at least not on the surface! (perhaps a male stunt diver underwater?)

But I took a closer look… and I’m now 99,99% sure that the diver (without the bomb) on the left actually is a woman.

Maybe the picture quality in an earlier version that I had seen was worse… and so I didn’t realize it, hard to say.

But with the fact that a female scuba diver is in the scene… the scene has to be featured here!

Ok, yes… we do see not much of her both on the surface and underwater.

The water skiing scene is awfully short, and then you see her only from behind, already in full scuba gear.

And I guess I was just skipping through the movie and didn’t make the connection between the water skier and the diver.

She is fully hidden in her scuba gear underwater (hood, narrow mask, vest), especially as basically every shot underwater only shows her thrashing around in the net.

A shame they only showed so little of her 🙁

But nevertheless, that scene must be featured here now!

The peril is shown quite well, even though there is that much movement.

Why they try to bomb that yacht in broad daylight is a mystery to me… but otherwise they couldn’t have filmed this scene well 😉

Also, catching them like that with a net… seems very difficult… but ok.

Some continuation errors are included, as at least one of them is shown without the regulator and then with it back in again.

But ok, maybe he/she lost it once and retrieved it back… only to lose it again? Could be…

Also: How can the guys on the yacht know that they were already dead/finished before they cut the line to the net? Hope? A guess?

I guess it would be awfully difficult to escape such a net when it moves around at that speed, so I think it is quite realistic… more or less.

It’s also interesting that only he was able to get to his knife; her knife is still in the sheath.

Guess she couldn’t reach it as she was entangled in the moving net.

The guys behind this movie certainly had a thing for nets, as this isn’t the only scene where a scuba diver gets caught by it (link above) 😉

Somehow weird that the bad guys in the movie didn’t have scuba divers on their side. I mean, they constantly get attacked by scuba divers who try to blow up their yacht 😆

But maybe they thought that a net here and there was enough… a missed opportunity nonetheless 🙁

However, I was now motivated enough to order the (French) DVD of this movie for the collection.

Perhaps I will now watch the whole movie (subtitles?), even my (school-) French is quite “rusty”.

Wanna know the name of the movie?

  1. It isn’t shown but one assumes they ultimately get blown up by the bomb which has the countdown timer still running?

  2. I had seen this scene years ago on a website that showed various categories of diving movie scenes. And this scene was in the net trap category, and it always seemed to me that the other diver was a woman.
    And, of all the diving scenes with net attacks, this is the best for me.

    • Well, normally the divers swim into an abondoned net and get in trouble. Here a net gets thrown at them, so them already makes it stand out a lot.
      And yeah, regarding such scenes it is certainly on top.

      • I used to follow this site back in 2005, and now I can’t find it anymore.
        I don’t even remember the name of the site, unfortunately…
