SCUBA mistakes in movies

[astrl]

Hrm... so many bad shots, sometimes it makes you wonder what those people hired to research are doing with their time!

Although I love the Abyss, I always wondered the same things. Most of the "impossible" shots I notice don't relate to diving, though.

We have the movie Abyss. All this discussion made me think about it, so I pulled it out.

Did you know that all the actors were required to become certified divers because 40%of the live-action photography was shot underwater.

I'm not saying that the scenes are realistic, but I thought you might find that interesting!!!

In sphere they dive "rebreathers" with ordinary 2nd stages (there are bubbles, yes) and uwatec consoles. Hmm, that's intresting, then you do not need any bailout system...

Since they could go in and out they were in saturation and the interior pressure would have ben the same as outsie...
