Trivia

The shipwreck featured in the movie is actually the RMS Rhone, which sank in 1867 off the coast of Salt Island in the British Virgin Islands. The ship broke into two pieces during the sinking. This movie was filmed at the bow section of the ship located about 75 feet underwater. See more »

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In one of the underwater scenes, Treece refers to the girl as "Kate," when the character's name is "Gail." See more »
