Now to one of my favorite scenes! Female scuba divers in full-face masks are pretty rare in movies, especially regarding scenes where there is any real ACTION underwater.
Here we have actually a scuba fight scene with a female diver wearing an FFM!
Preview:
Ready for action!
A knife!
Let’s cut this one!

*EDIT* March 9, 2022:
Time for a proper text as this is a scene from my Hall of Fame!
I really love these Interspiro full-face masks (FFM)! And seeing one in an action scene in a movie/TV show, especially in a scuba fight….is VERY RARE!
The villainess messes up to sneakily attack her from behind and the diver is able to fight her off for some seconds with the help of Flipper.
I love the struggle she puts up to prevent the villainess from cutting her precious air hose incl. great sounds!
She tries to escape (doesn’t she have a knife to fight back?) and the villainess pins her down on top of the submarine, really well done.
I love that the villainess then goes for her air hose and slices through it.
Sadly she turns away then as the good guy comes for the rescue.
Two mistakes are here: Her air hose loses only very little air for some time after it was cut. I guess they turned the air off more or less for a segment.
Also, as the good guy arrives and gives her his spare regulator her mask is only pressed against her face, the straps aren’t in place anymore. I guess they skipped the part so she could quickly get the regulator to breathe again.
The “aftermath” as she pumps the water out of the chamber in the sub and is pretty much shocked and out of breath is well done as well.
Well, in my version the villainess would then be attacked by the hero and …underwater…of course 😉
So he could give her a taste of her own medicine!

If you wanna know the title of the series and the exact episode:
Hey folks, today I wanna share something very special! A reader of this blog contacted me, he asked me about my opinion about a self-made trailer. He and a friend are working on a film project involving a huge amount of underwater action! They have the story and the storyboard and wanna present the results to producers. The trailer, as you will see, is made 100% out of clips from different movies and TV series. So the trailer is made to bring the viewers an idea of what the movie will be about. So it’s not a “classic” trailer.
Now he gave me his ok to present the trailer here on my site. This is the result:

And here is the trailer:

The story has a lot of underwater scuba combat scenes with female divers!!!
My idea about this project?
Brilliant idea, promising story! That could be the scuba movie I would make (in my dreams).
Of course, it won’t be easy getting it realized, I even think it’s a very hard sell, but I’m very curious about how this project will develop… 🙂
