This movie has been out for 4 years and I am watching a copy from our public library.
This movie can be very intense for recreational divers. You might need a weekend to cool off after seeing this movie if you are very emotional.
The movie is very thought provoking especially if you have ever been the last diver pair to get back to the dive boat and find out everyone has already returned, has broken down and packed up their gear which takes time, and are sitting around waiting for you for at least 5 minutes. It gives you the feeling you have been there and could have done that (lived this movie).
After the movie, you can study the actual case that it is based on on various internet sites. The writer/producer/directors have said that they did not base the movie on any specific case and have come up with their own general version. Shockingly, the details of errors and oversights in their Bahamas version is dwarfed by the details of errors and oversights which led to the actual event in Australia that is generally considered what this movie is based on.
This movie should be of great interest to divers but for everyone else, if they have trouble with this movie, they should talk to a diver friend to get additional insight.
