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!

Here is the video:

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 🙂
She struggles to get out of the down-sliding plane and passes out (drowns?) on her way up to the surface. Seemingly she is dead but wakes up coughing after a short time. #odd
Yeah, the roaring shark who ignores her is really… cringy.
But I like that he unmasks her as the tail hits her face.
Quite surprising that the fact that she loses her scuba mask doesn’t influence her at all… seemingly.
Also, she could have recovered it… in case it isn’t broken. But for some reason, she didn’t care about her mask.
The buddy breath scenes with the guy are well done.
In case you wonder why there is a dead scuba diver inside the plane:
He was one of two of a rescue team who found the plane but the fantasy sharks quickly had them as a scuba diver “snack”.
Some guys with scuba gear were on the plane… so the three could use that gear to escape the plane (wetsuits/masks).
All in all… a nice scene, and I am grateful for any new movie material with scuba scenes.

Wanna know the title of the TV show and the episode name?
I do recommend that you check out the movie! I mean it’s not great, but entertaining enough with only about 85 minutes and has several scuba scenes in it.
Always good to get the chance to watch a new movie with some scuba scenes 🙂
P.S.:
Here is the odd/bad German Blu-ray cover:
Hmh…. not the best cover to promote the movie 😆
(The shark effects in the movie are quite ok for most of the time)
Scenes from the first movie were blocked on Youtube back then and this is quite brutal (even you don’t see much) so I decided to post this one on Drive as well.
–
Well, for me the scene is ….ok. Some others may like it better than me… I guess.
The shark scenes where a real shark was filmed are good, the cheap prop they used for some closeups is really… cheap.
Yeah, I know the budget was small and CGI wasn’t really an option back in 2000…but the result just looks bad.
Also, the roaring sounds of the shark are just laughable! Reminds me of Tomb Raider 2 😉
What morons come up with such fantasy sounds?
The camera work during the attack is quite bad, most likely as they couldn’t show the prop shark for too long.
On the plus side, the dive equipment is solid and there are some intense perilous moments as the divers are quite “loud”.
Ok, for me that kind of peril isn’t exciting at all… but well, others may see that differently.
Also, I wonder why they didn’t have at least one or two minutes with these women on the surface with some dialogue lines.
I mean she gets chomped by that shark and we know nothing about her and didn’t hear one word from her. That way the audience doesn’t care too much about her.
–
The next scene that I will present in a future post is more interesting… at least for me.
Now to a woman who really wants to dive with sharks!
The backstory is rather sad, but it’s a very interesting (short) movie and it has some nice scuba scenes in it.
Check out the storyline on the IMDB page if you like (see below).
This is a rather old recommendation I got some years back. Thanks! Now it’s time to post about it 😉

Quite a beauty 🙂

And here is the video:

I made a cut with the first scene as she is having a flashback that is very sad and tragic.
I didn’t cut anything out of the scuba scene itself.
It’s rather a short scene so I only included it because of the perilous element.
The second scene is much more interesting for me.
Really great close-ups of her face. And a nice vintage-style mask, even though I don’t like that see-through material/color.
The scenes with the sharks and the beautiful music are really well done.
And it’s got to have a peaceful scuba scene with sharks here for a change, after all, that is 10 times more realistic than 99% of the shark movie scenes.
Time to make a 2nd post with scenes from a 60s TV show with an animal as the lead “actor”.
Now, not that one with the dolphin, the one with the kangaroo.
In this one world-famous diver, Valerie Taylor can be seen in one out of only 3 acting roles (movie/TV shows).
Preview:
There she is…
…Valerie Taylor!
Time for another dive
What has happened???

And here is the video:

Initially, I wanted to cut down the video as it is now half the length of the full episode.
But well, I wanted to include all her wetsuit scenes so I decided to choose the first long cut as the video. And Youtube seemingly doesn’t mind in this case.
Certainly some nice and interesting scenes with Valerie Taylor in a wetsuit for half an episode. 🙂
Well, I would have preferred a black rubber wetsuit, but no luck.
From today’s point of view, it is certainly quite ironic that Valerie Taylor who made many documentaries about sharks and was very unhappy in her involvement in the making of “Jaws” swims away in fear from a harmless shark….but well, times were different and most people were very afraid of any shark.
The peril element here is a nice addition if that means she is unconscious for the rest of the episode…which is quite odd. I mean why didn’t they show her awake at the end?
The young boy then saved her from drowning and then had some close scenes with Valerie Taylor in her tight, wet wetsuit on that boat…. I wouldn’t mind swapping with him 😉
Most likely he was too young back then to “appreciate” it.
