Scuba Movies

[Rhone Man]

Let's see...breathing for like 30 minutes off a pen-sized tank...emerging from a full wet suit with a perfectly pressed tuxedo underneath...the Bond movies were always a bit silly, but their take on diving has always been far-fetched

If you think they were silly in relation to diving, you should have sympathy for us water skiiers. That scene in Licence to Kill when Timothy Dalton shoots the seaplane's pontoon with a speargun, barefoot waterskiis for a few hundred yards holding the cable, and then somehow overtakes the plane to grab a pontoon and clamber aboard... aye caramba. Seriously willing suspension of disbelief.

Best Dive Movie is Men Of Honor with cuba gooding jr.

 

[VIdiverWannabe]

Men of Honor by far the best...

The Deep is now out on BluRay. I hadnt see in in a long time nor had I seen it since I started diving myself. I just watched it last week ... the movie itself is a bit dated but good. If you've never seen it, you should watch it simply for Jacqueline Bisset in a wet tshirt ! I think she was a little cold

Aww, no love for Open Water? j/k, I'd rather take a stick in the eye then watch that.

For anyone that likes the Abyss or hasn't seen it yet, the Extended DVD Cut is worth seeing. It makes all the weirdness and especially the ending make sense, I don't know how they let it originally get cut that much before the original release. Like cutting out the big shocker at the end of The Sixth Sense and making it a just movie about a boy who sees ghosts.

 

[Centexbear]

Men of Honor by far the best...

Totally agree....I love that movie.

There are too many pages filled already, by I bet nobody mentioned this one Posledniy dyuym (1958)

I 1st saw it when I was 5 and was scared sh@tless. It's more about flying then scuba, but still pretty good movie.

Into the Blue II will be out next month in direct to dvd without theatrical release; that alone says a lot for the quality of the film.

Anyone seen it yet? Worth buying?

KY Bob, I saw it. If you aren't worried about a good plot, decent acting and some mediocre diving skills being displayed it's OK.
