Trivia
The film's theme title song, "Down Deep Inside (Theme From The Deep)", was a collaboration between composer John Barry and disco queen Donna Summer. The song was nominated for a Golden Globe Best Original Song Award with a slower tempo version of the song included on the movie soundtrack. An extended version of the song was launched on Summer's CD version of her 1978 album "Live and More". The song went to number six on the Dutch Top 40 Chart; number five on the UK Singles Chart and the Netherlands GfK Chart, and number three on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play Chart. Summer appeared and sang in Thank God It's Friday (1978), again for the same production house, Casablanca Filmworks, that made The Deep (1977). For that movie, Summer's song won an Oscar.

Severing a deep sea diver's airline whilst he is on the sea bed does not automatically flood the entire suit with sea water - a valve in the helmet prevents that and had long been invented by the 1970's. See more »Quotes

I have the movie on Video, would buy it on DVD, I have read all the other reviews and surprised nobody mentioned the great music by John Barry. The theme made it to the radio top hits in 1977 For me, the music makes this movie, together with the three main stars including Shaw, Nolte and the beautiful Jacqueline Bisset. Is there an actress today quite so stunning? Don't think so... The Deep probably did not have the impact of Peter Benchley's Jaws but I like it just as much. The music is more melodic, the warmer location Bermuda, in contrast to the cooler Cape Cod of Jaws. I always appreciate a good treasure hunt anyway, Spanish doubloons and the possibility of reef predators adds interest. Watch it just to see Bisset in skimpy scuba swimsuit... you won't be disappointed
