A couple on a holiday in the Caribbean decide to spend the day on a scuba diving trip. But was it the wrong decision?

Daniel: [on his cellphone] Hey Don. It's Daniel. Listen, don't put the boiler in until I get back. The framing inspection isn't for a couple of weeks, so we've got plenty of time. And I'll check in with you guys in a couple of days, OK? Take care. Bye.

Did You Know?
Trivia
No CG was used in this movie. Director Chris Kentis fed the sharks tuna to get real feeling of the main characters being in the ocean together with the sharks. As long as they were eating the tuna they didn't harm Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis. See more »Goofs
In the beginning of the film despite going to bed without any clothes Daniel miraculously (and thankfully) gains a pair of briefs for the middle of the night mosquito swatting scene, before waking the next morning. Presumably this an effort by the director to keep the film rating as low as possible. But why not make him go to sleep with a pair of briefs on in the first place? See more »Quotes

This movie was never about character development. This movie is
never about a couple having a fight. This movie is not about
sharks. This movie was never meant to be filmed in a pro way.
This movie is about how your will and your life falls to pieces when
facing something that could be a nightmare and you feel you're
totally awake. This movie is about desperation, about your life
being taken from you with hours to feel how you will not be the
same, because you know it's over for you, but you don't want to
believe it... something we like to call hope.
You may have entered Open Water willing to eat all your popcorn
and coming out of the theater telling jokes and feeling life is here
forever. But this movie is about the opposite.
This is a wonderful film, and I thought Susan was going to be
bit**ing all the time and stuff, but she didn't. The ending was so
damn sad. I left the theater in a quiet fashion. I couldn't say a word
to my girlfriend because I knew she felt for them too.
You don't need character development when you turn on the news
and see millions of unknowns blown to pieces or starving. You
don't need it because you know they are like you. Made of the
same matter, and as fragile as any other animal.
Open Water is a beautiful piece of movie-making, and it's so
human that it's almost unreal.
