Diving scenes in movies are funny

[Jaan]

Just saw the latest Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny movie.

We had to laugh at the scenes with aggressive sped-up morays attacking the divers and of course with them kicking along with no fins and shooting to the surface like rockets. I remember seeing the Meg movie too where you see Jason Statham the tough guy out swimming the shark with no fins.

Doesn't anyone actually care about making those diving scenes just a little more believable? hahaha too boring perhaps, but .. it's the movies

I like the scenes in some movies where divers enter the water head first.

Netflix Movie: Pressure - another "movie" was discussed there

There are so many bad diving scenes on film, but my favorite is Mike Nelson copping a feel in Sea Hunt.

Or Paul Walker’s incredible breath-holding feats in, “Into The Blue” (2005)

Lest we forget - 1977 w/ JB in "The Deep"....

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.
