I am in the same boat with poor recollection of the movie but do recall that the father coughed blood when he was thrown onto the ground and IIRC a stalagmite stabbed him.
That was the singularly worst James Cameron movie I have ever seen ... and none of the diving scenes were very credible ...

I'm really late to this party, but I just saw the movie and had a couple of questions for those more familiar with the sort of diving depicted:
The bailout bottles used by the rebreather divers have big OXYGEN stickers on them. Is oxygen an appropriate gas for bailout?
If you make a film/series/"documentary" based on a 2000 year old book that is based on beliefs and not proven facts - how can it NOT be filled by such?Although it probably does not qualify as a movie, I have seen much worse from him recently, and it makes me wonder what he is up to, frankly.
It was a History Channel presentation on archaeological evidence of the events described in Exodus. Cameron introduced it, and it had all sorts of high production visual effects you would expect from him as a producer. It starred the idiot who did the History Channel's series Naked Archaeologist, which is to archeology what McDonald's is to fine cuisine. Anyone who knows a thing about archaeology knows this guy knows nothing about it. In one NA episode, for example, he was trying to prove that some ancient group was present at some site in the past. The real archaeologist being interviewed said there was no way you could conclude that because there was absolutely no evidence for it. The NA replied that there was no evidence that they weren't there either, such as an inscription that said, "These people were never here." The real archaeologist just looked at him as stunned disbelief as the NA determined that the fact that there was no sign of these people proved that they must have been there. The entire Cameron-produced show on the Exodus was filled with such idiocy.
