…and no, I am not talking about the movie “Open Water” 😉
We have a woman and a guy who dive around and get quite surprised when they resurface!

Where did we park the boat again?

Here is the video:

Not sure how realistic it is that it would drift away and then also drift away from sight completely in the matter of one dive.
But that’s not important.
All in all a nice perilous scene, even if the peril happens on the surface.
Interestingly the guy uses the regulator that normally is mounted on an Interspiro AGA full-face scuba mask.
Quite unusual.
Some really nice underwater footage is included.
If I would have filmed that scenario an evil frogwoman in black rubber would have sneaked onto the boat during their dive and would have stolen it to leave them to their fate.
Yeah, no real action, nothing spectacular, but I am happy about every new movie that actually does have scuba scenes in it… as there are only very few which have that.
She looks just fine in her wetsuit and the scuba gear is ok. Sadly there are no scuba action scenes in this one as it is a romantic comedy.
The story is rather simple, she loses her ring as she is doing some sort of yoga on a surfboard, a valuable heirloom.
He is the slightly strange, but handsome scuba teacher of the hotel, and they fall in love etc..
In my version, I would have added a scene where he would have heroically saved her as she becomes stuck underwater or something and nearly drowns 😉
That would still be fitting in such a genre movie.
Or I would actually gender swap the roles and the scuba teacher would be a woman, and she would get in trouble underwater…
(first one is about the 2nd video shoot of “Project F”)
Another scuba scene for you folks, this time a very new one!
In this scene, we have a couple(?) diving around with mini scuba tanks.
Preview:
Aren’t they cute?
Scuba diving with mini tanks!
What is going on here? 😉

Yeah, a solid scene, even though there is no action in it.
It is interesting that they are using these mini scuba tanks (Frogwoman Lucy used one in Video 2 of Project F).
They are using regulators from the well-known Cressi company, haven’t seen such a combo so far as normally these tanks come with rather cheapish regulators from the same brand.
With that size, I guess only 1L…they can dive for around 5-7 minutes or so, depending on how fit they are.
So they certainly need to be really careful with such small tanks and stay in rather shallow depths.
Also, she admits that she has no experience with diving at all, so it is even more risky, even they do hold hands.
Certainly not a dive any scuba school would approve of 😉
The surface scene at the end is a nice addition.
There are no more scenes with them in wetsuits in that episode.
I had heard about this one some years ago, checked it, and didn’t think I would make a post of it one day.
But well, the taste can change and I know that many folks here will like this scene, even though there is no scuba diving in it and it is also black and white.
Preview:
He is quite….
…happy with what he is seeing 😉
No, don’t pay attention to him…
….check out what is happening around you!

Watch the video before you continue!
Ok, it clearly isn’t summer, and the two women were wearing these rubber wetsuits under their thick (winter) clothes?
Wow, they must be burning up in these suits…plus it isn’t comfortable to run around much in these suits! But perhaps they like that? 😉
Plus running around like that, other folks nearby might think you smell like rubber, even the wetsuit is hidden under the other clothes 😆
I wouldn’t mind swapping places with any of these two guys. Especially with the guy who drives the boat. Sounds like great fun with these wetsuited babes in tow!
The movie itself seems rather…bizarre….and has no other scenes of relevance to this blog.
But I do like this scene, even though it is black and white which is a big minus for me.
I played with a colorizing website and here are two pictures in color:

Yeah, a little better, even the results aren’t very good.

By the way:
The woman who is pouring water into/onto her wetsuit is young Charlotte Rampling!
You can spot her in color and inside an even sexier wetsuit in this post:
This post is long overdue! I was pretty sure that I posted about the movie as soon it hit the theaters back then, but not here on the blog.
This movie has one really GREAT scuba peril scene and I made two videos to incl. the whole scene without making a too long video.
Nonetheless, it was blocked on Youtube but in this case “only” in France and some french overseas islands/regions. So 99% should be able to see it.
This movie has gigantic Megalodon sharks and obviously, you shouldn’t take it as a “realistic” movie. You should just have fun watching it.
I am pretty sure there isn’t a single really realistic shark movie anyhow…so…no need to care about the realism in it 😉
We have a yacht full of folks who wanna catch a living Megalodon.
Of course, it’s not as easy as they thought…..

Somewhere in the darkness around her the MEG is ready to attack…..

[Watch the videos before you continue!]
That was quite a ride for her….
Not exactly a nice thought of being stuck in the mouth of that MEG!
Her wetsuit is quite sexy for a modern suit and it’s nice that she doesn’t have a BCD.
Bingbing Li does a good job in the movie and here in this scuba scene!
I love the tension as she is alone in that cage, she knows the shark is somewhere, and we can clearly hear her exhaling through the scuba mask.
And the air loss peril scene is just great! I am not 100% sure if it is realistic, as I think that the actual incoming air gets only in the “closed” area around the mouth (unless you wanna clear the whole mask underwater). Also, her air is depleting too fast in my opinion when we see the percentages going down rapidly.
But anyhow, I love the sound of the exiting air and her reaction to it. The sentence: “My mask is broken, I’m losing air!”….pure gold. 😉
I think it was a wise choice to leave the mask on even as her oxygen was gone. With the mask on she couldn’t inhale water, she was “just” passing out.
Thanks a lot for the friendly user who recommended me this short movie!
This one is rather….different but offers a lot in terms of scuba peril.
This is not my upload this time, I simply provide the link. Normally I edit some scenes together, but this wouldn’t make much sense in this case. 😉
Story:
A family (incl. 2 hot daughters) arrives at a lake where they take a little diving trip.
As they emerge from the water….something is wrong….VERY wrong.

Something is WRONG!
What is going on here?!

And here is the video (for adults only):
(don’t let yourself be scared off by that thumbnail image…the movie is really good actually!)
–
[SPOILERS ahead, watch the movie first!]
Ok, I admit this scenario isn’t completely new, have seen it in two movies so far actually…..BUT… this short movie handles it really well!
The horror gets real as the family members start to turn on each other. They know, the only air left to breathe is in their scuba tanks, so each of them only thinks of themself.
How can I survive just a little longer? Their most primitive survival instincts take over and they are willing to do everything to steal each other’s air supply.
I have to say…I really enjoyed seeing them fighting against each other like that. Especially as they try to steal each other regulators 😉
Of course, it would have been nice to actually see them diving beforehand, but I guess the budget for this one was really limited.
I’m not too happy about the ending as the grandma “speared” the last survivor of that family. Somehow funny, but not exactly realistic to nail her against the wall like that….and I would have liked to see her fighting over the last air tanks against some other folks.
But ok, after all… they are all doomed anyway…
One problem I got with this one is that often the air on these tanks isn’t turned on …or the tank is empty even it isn’t supposed to be. Because quite often you don’t hear the normal “hissing” sounds that these regulators make above the surface.
Ok, it is time that this blog returns to normal, which means I will post on Sundays as usual and the VIP club will continue next month as well.
My last post was about a scene from the ’50s and now we make a huge time jump to a movie from 2019 that was just released!
I just watched this new movie yesterday and wanna post about it today.
In this horror movie, we have a young female scientist who also is a scuba diver. She is on board a large fish trawler to study.
After an incident, she gets ready to dive to research a creature that actually has stopped the ship and has some sort of tentacles that grip onto the hull.
Preview:
Getting ready!
What is THAT?

And here is the video:
–
Well, sadly she sticks to her word and this is her only scuba scene in the movie.
Near the ending, she puts on her wetsuit again and has some underwater and surface scenes.
For my taste, the scene isn’t of great interest and there is no real peril or action involved. But I guess some of you might like it.
Is it just me or do the bubbles that ascend from her regulator at the end….look like CGI? Weird….
In my version, one of the tentacles would hold onto her leg and another one would attack her.
She would manage to evade the hit to her face but her air hose would be damaged and spewing bubbles…. 😉
After some intense struggle, she would escape to the surface.
