Open Water
 
Looks to be a damn scary flick, folks.

Check out the trailer at the Apple quicktime website.

Open Water
 
My first reaction was... Crying Pussies..... you lay face down and
remain on patrol. Screaming and acting like bait will get you eaten in the
ocean.

Those rigs have built in buoyancy control, you'd have at least 500 to a 100
lbs of air left and have snorkel and mask with fins. That's a half hour to
an hour air time under if "skipping". Jelly fish can't penetrate the suit.
The safety strobe required for open ocean dives would easily confuse or
repel an inquisitive Porbeagle, Blue, Thresher or White Tip..... those are
basically the pelagic species of open water. None of which has man on the
menu. A six foot fish swimming at the surface is not standard fare for
shark nor sea monsters.


There is no way you could figure a scenario on a modern dive boat that
wouldn't have a diver count before and after the trip. The dive master is
responsible for his wards. You signal below and again on surfacing.

It was based on a real life scenario where a person diving solo lost their
boat. He was rescued 2 days later by a passing boat..... 8 miles from
shore... an easy swim if he had a clue.
