    Edit
    • Trivia
      Brazilian diver Alberto José do Nascimento was the only one that supported Brashear since the beginning in the team, but was ignored in the movie and replaced by different characters along the film
    • Goofs
      Twice early in the movie, Jo just shows up where someone like her would never have gone by herself, like into the Navy bar where Brasher and Sunday had their breath-holding contest, or unescorted onto the Navy base the night of Carl's final diving exam.
    • Quotes

      Billy Sunday: The Navy Diver is not a fighting man, he is a salvage expert. If it is lost underwater, he finds it. If it's sunk, he brings it up. If it's in the way, he moves it. If he's lucky, he will die young, 200 feet beneath the waves, for that is the closest he'll ever get to being a hero.

    • Crazy credits
      The woman in the detox center is listed as "Pinch-Faced Woman at Detox Center"
    • Alternate versions
      DVD includes several deleted scenes cut from the final film:
      • Billy lies drunk on a beach and is caught by Military Police; the film then cuts to the opening scene showing just why he is in handcuffs.
      • Carl finds Pappy's dog and he makes a white officer wash the poor animal in lye because carl touched it.
      • an alternate ending showing just what exactly happened to Billy

    Story of human dignity
    This well-acted story of the end of segregation in the military is told through the true experiences of Carl Brashear. Ultimately it is a story of human honor and dignity triumphing over smallmindedness, bureaucracy, and prejudice. Some of the scenes are deliberate attempts at crowd-pleasing, but they are nevertheless effective.
