Open Water is a 2003 American survival horror thriller film. The story concerns an American couple who go scuba diving while on vacation, only to find themselves stranded miles from shore in shark-filled waters when the crew of their boat accidentally leaves them behind.
The film is loosely based on the true story of Tom and Eileen Lonergan, who in 1998 went out with a scuba diving group, Outer Edge Dive Company, on the Great Barrier Reef, and were accidentally left behind because the dive-boat crew failed to take an accurate headcount.[1][2]
The film was financed by the husband and wife team of writer/director Chris Kentis and producer Laura Lau, both avid scuba divers.[3] It cost $120,000[citation needed] to make and was bought by Lions Gate Entertainment for $2.5 million after its screening at the Sundance Film Festival. Lions Gate spent a further $8 million on distribution and marketing.[4] The film ultimately grossed $55.5 million worldwide (including $30 million from the North American box office alone).[5]
Before filming began, the Lonergans' experience was re-created for an episode of ABC's 20/20, and the segment was repeated after the release of Open Water. Clips from the film were also featured on NBC in "Troubled Waters", a Dateline episode (July 7, 2008) with Matt Lauer interviewing two professional divers, Richard Neely and Ally Dalton, who were left adrift at the Great Barrier Reef by a dive boat on May 21, 2008.[6]
Daniel Kintner and Susan Watkins are frustrated that their hard-working lives do not allow them to spend much time together. They go on a scuba-diving vacation to help improve their relationship. On their second day, they join a group scuba dive. A head count is taken, and the passenger total is recorded as 20. Daniel and Susan decide to separate briefly from the group while underwater. Half an hour later, the group returns to the boat; two members of the group are inadvertently counted twice, so the dive master thinks that everyone is back on board, and the boat leaves the site. However, Daniel and Susan are still underwater, unaware that the others have returned to shore. When they resurface, the boat has gone. They believe that the group will soon return to recover them.
Stranded at sea, it slowly dawns on Daniel and Susan that their boat is not coming back for them. They bicker, battle bouts of hunger and mental exhaustion, and realize they have probably drifted far from the dive site. They also realize that sharks have been circling them below the surface. Soon, jellyfish appear, stinging them both, while sharks come close. Susan receives a small shark bite on the leg but does not immediately realize it. Daniel goes under and discovers a small fish feeding on the exposed flesh of her bite wound. Later, a shark bites Daniel, and the wound begins to bleed profusely. Susan removes her weight belt and uses it to apply pressure to Daniel's wound, but he appears to go into shock. After night falls, sharks return and attack Daniel during a storm, killing him. The next morning, Daniel and Susan's belongings are finally noticed on the boat by a crew member, and he realizes that they must have been left at the dive site. A massive search for the couple begins immediately.
Susan realizes that Daniel is dead and releases him into the water, where sharks pull him down in a feeding frenzy. After putting on her mask, she looks beneath the surface and sees several large sharks circling her. Susan looks around one last time for any sign of coming rescue. Seeing none, she removes her scuba gear and disappears below the water. Sometime later, a fishing crew cuts open a newly caught shark's stomach, finding a diving camera (apparently that of Daniel and Susan). One of the fishermen states offhandedly to another, "Wonder if it works."
The filmmakers used live sharks, as opposed to the mechanical ones used in Jaws or the computer-generated fish in Deep Blue Sea. The film strives for authentic shark behavior, shunning the stereotypical exaggerated shark behavior typical of many films. The movie was shot on digital video. As noted above, the real-life events that inspired this story took place in the southern Pacific Ocean, and this film moves the location to the Atlantic Ocean, being filmed in The Bahamas, the United States Virgin Islands, the Grenadines, and Mexico.[7][8]
During the audition, Chris Kentis and Laura Lau made it clear to Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis that they would work with real sharks in the film and that it was non-negotiable. "So I was like 'okay, that's fine' and I hadn't been offered the part or anything yet, and then when I was offered the part, that had already been negotiated," said Blanchard.[9]
Open Water received mostly positive reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 71% based on 196 reviews with an average rating of 6.57/10. The consensus reads: "A low-budget thriller with some intense moments."[10] On Metacritic, the film holds a score of 63 out of 100, based on reviews from 38 critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[11]
Most critics praised the film for its intensity and minimalist filmmaking, while the audience did not well receive it. Writing in the Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert praised the film highly: "Rarely, but sometimes, a movie can have an actual physical effect on you. It gets under your defenses and sidesteps the 'it's only a movie' reflex and creates a visceral feeling that might as well be real".[12] In a much less favorable review, A. O. Scott in The New York Times lamented that it "succeeds in mobilizing the audience's dread, but it fails to make us care as much as we should about the fate of its heroes".[13]
Practice using scuba gear in a pool (or pool-like environment) until you're comfortable. PADI training includes practice "mini dives" to help you build confidence in your new abilities before making four dives in open water.
Each Open Water 38 is assembled and tested ahead of shipping out. With a small team and to ensure the highest quality and control, these watches will ship in batches every 2 weeks. Simply choose from the available shipping option.
The 12-hour unidirectional bezel on the Open Water 38 allows you to track a second time zone effortlessly by rotating the bezel to the current hour difference. This feature ensures accuracy and prevents accidental adjustments, making it highly reliable and convenient for travelers and outdoor enthusiasts.
The Open Water 38 is fundamentally a dive watch, offering an impressive 200m of water resistance. It features a screw-down crown that employs a triple gasket piston-like design to keep out water and debris.
The Open Water 38 features a custom-designed 18mm stainless steel single screw links feature a media-blasted matte finish and female endlinks. Coupled with the Nodex Micro Adjust System, it is adjustable from 5" to infinity offering a perfect fit for any wrist.
All VERO watches feature a multi-gasket stem and crown/case tube configuration. The case tube has an extended sealing face that maintains contact with the o-ring across the stroke of the setting positions, ensuring the watch remains sealed even when setting the time. The watch case includes an indentation where an o-ring, or gasket, rests. During assembly, the o-ring is coated with a thin layer of silicone grease to create an airtight seal when the case back is tightened down, sitting flush against the case.
Dive watches generally feature crowns that screw down flush to the case. The case tube is specially designed with threads to secure the crown when it is screwed back in after setting the hands. Inside the case tube, silicone gaskets rest beneath the crown head, providing a watertight seal.
Having a durable crystal on a dive watch is crucial. In deeper waters, a sapphire crystal remains intact, unlike a mineral glass crystal that can crack or splinter under pressure. Sapphire crystals are naturally anti-reflective and boast a hardness of 9 out of 10 on the Mohs scale, with only diamonds being harder, scoring a perfect 10.
Our watches are designed for adventure, capable of withstanding any challenge. With this in mind, we chose the Sellita SW-200-1 movement for the Open Water, as it features Incabloc Shock Absorption technology.
Although open water fishing has always been considered to be a strictly trolling game, stories like this prove that nothing could be farther from the truth. If you take the time to understand how the open water equation works you will quickly realize that there are many situations where casting in open water not only is possible but also makes a lot of sense.
Regardless of whether you are casting or trolling in open water one of the biggest tools you have is your electronics. For a troller you are going to be able to cover a lot more water so you can negate spotty use of your electronics much easier by pure volume of water covered. If you are casting you won't have that advantage. For this reason it becomes imperative to not only have good electronics, but more importantly to understand how to use them.
Although the concept of locating fish in open water using electronics can seem daunting, you will come to learn that there are actually several huge advantages in locating these fish as opposed to structure fish. For example, when you look at a shallow weed bed how do you determine whether or not there are muskies in it? Of course you can look at the type of weeds, how green they are, how many baitfish you see around the weeds, etc., however all of these things are only going to allow you to make an educated guess. At the end of the day, the only way to say for sure what is in that weed bed is to go and actually throw lures over it and see what comes out. Open water fishing with good electronics on the other hand can actually eliminate this guess work. When you are not marking fish don't waste your time fishing there. Good electronics can not only tell you with 100% certainty if there are fish in an area, but the use of technology such as side imaging can actually make very accurate estimates as to how many schools of bait are in an area, as well as how many muskies. This concept of knowing whether or not you are around fish and even how many are in the area is something that is unique to open water fishing.
