Diving scenes in movies are funny

If only....

I saw it on the internet. It must be true

Or 47 meters down where the chick on her first dive ever somehow makes 5 bar of gas last 20 minutes while panicking and being chased by a shark at deeper than the recreational dive limit LOL.

Also, IIRC, they brought them a second tank at 47m and then warned that it was on the 2nd tank that they needed to watch out for narcosis!

Some gems in this movie.
I must have missed the shearwater update that allows video and music.

The first episode of an Australian TV series called Water Rats (about New South Wales Water Police) started with divers lost in a deep cave in the Blue Mountains which are west of Sydney. The divers are using single tanks and have been down for quite a while before they are reported missing. There are no air bubbles for them to be in.

The Police divers head off from Sydney, a trip that would take a minimum of 90 minutes in a large truck like they had, even under blue lights and sirens. They arrive at the cave, set up their gear, go in and find them alive! Amazing! Also rubbish!

Appeared to be based on a real event that happened in The Shaft in South Australia in 1973.

"Sanctum" Breaths of air from tiny bubbles on the ceiling of a cave during a very long swim out.

This is one my favorite, "there is no such thing as DCS" scenes from James Bond
