I think James Bond is actually the Doctor.
I only watched 47 meters down and I thought I have never seen that kind of air pressure gauge. The rest I don't really know. I have not gone shark diving in a cage nor breathed with NO2 so I can't tell that for sure, even though that was the case, I still think that the sharks are ways too aggressive. Even though one of the women was bleeding, the sharks seemed to 'really want' to eat that girl like she has some significant meaning to them when the truth is they are two small human vs a bunch of hungry big sharks (the great white) and pretty much not worth the effort.
Bond's movie is not a scuba diving movie so it is not surprised me at all that it was very inaccurate. *Just trying to make a joke out of this, but don't really know how*
Here is a quick question. Is there any movies or films about scuba diving that is accurated?
Thanks for making this video.
Proper term for that aircraft would be a Float Plane!
Watched 47 Meters down with a bunch of scuba surveyors – in German… Didn't understand any of it but we all had a laugh at just how absurd the whole film was, from no equalising to a digital pressure gauge full face masks but not a good rope for the cage? From the presentation of being narced to how long 2 bar seems to last them to the absurd hunger of the sharks and how they seem to think it's more worth it to wait for the humans to leave the cage than it would be to eat any of the fish all around them. That entire film was just hilarious, great with some beers and snacks.
The character in "Waterworld" with the map tattoo is a girl named Enola (played by Tina Majorino), not a boy.
Now do Aquaman.
Hi, love the channel and keep up the good work! I'm surprised you didn't include Sanctum in the list. That movie was also very loose in terms of what's reasonable and what's not. Not so much wrong with equipment and physics, but characters (who are suppose to be uber pros) behave like complete noobs without a care or regard about anything.
The point at 4:00 is incorrect, one of the main advantages of a liquid breathing material is that it's viscosity is constant due to fact that liquids are incompressible.
Hypothetically if the breathing material was insoulable for CO2 then the liquid could easily be circulated similar to a full face mask with a rebreather as the CO2 would not dissolve into the liquid instead appearing a bubbles for easy seperation
You guys talk too much.
The jaws guy may have been using poorly made hydrox
I love scuba diving but holding in my pee is the worst! Is there a way to pee with a wet suit on so that it doesn't just sit there trapped in your wet suit making it all stinky?
I’ve gotta see these
Just checked out the Myth busters shooting of a SCUBA tank. It contained compressed air. What if it contained Nitrox (a nice high value) or Trimix.
"Sharks don't go after people." "They hold grudges." Great stuff!! 🙂
Regarding the Bond movie….. Maybe he wasnt deeper than 12 meters, in which case he could have been under for about 200 minutes before decompressing. Decompressio sickness is also very individual on persons. If you dive once a week, your body kind of gets used to your skills or limits whereas if you dive once a year your body and yourself doesnt know what is it used to react. It differs very from person to person, the condition youre in, your healt etc. I have dived since 1996, and I have never had dc sickness. If you stick to the basic n.d. limits you cant go thast wrong.
I cringed when I saw 47M there is so many things wrong with that movie but in there defense it is a good idea for a movie just take out 90% of the movie ideas they originally had and put a Terminator vs Mike Nelson situation or something like that
To be fair the seaplane doesn't fly that high up to have significant effect. The 12/24 hour rules are for taking an airliner flyiing at 10 kilometers altitude.
volume is real low
In 47 M down at the end the girl is completely Narc'd out of her mind. I took it that the majority of the movie was a narc induced dream and they were not down that long in reality.
I don't think the argument for The Abyss regarding CO2 is valid. In fact, I think they do address it when they inform Bud of the time limit associated with the liquid he's "breathing".
Remember, as he's sitting on the bottom after disabling the nuke, he tells Lindsey he knew it was a one-way trip. My theory is that just like a rebreather scrubs the CO2, the liquid system had similar scrubbers. The liquid would be properly oxygenated and scrubbed by a finite supply contained within the suit. Or, maybe there are no scrubbers at all. The time limit of the dive is the point at which the fluid is too contaminated with CO2 to support life any longer. In either case, I think they addressed the CO2 problem.
The real problem, besides the absurd pressure he'd be subjected to at those depths, is the ability to move enough fluid at a fast enough rate. There would have to be some kind of pumping mechanism to augment his diaphragm, which would likely involve a tube down his trachea into his lungs. The suit shown implies his own diaphragm is able to manage the appropriate flow rate.
Oh well… regardless of the issues, I still love the movie 🙂
We were thinking to go watch 47m down with the diving club. Then we saw the trailer and promptly aborted the plan…
Eventually I watched it at home. If you watch it as a parody version of Jaws or as a "spot the errors" type of thing, with booze and pizza it's ok. If you expect a serious scuba movie, no….
Its called a seaplane
What do you think about Into the blue (movie with Paul Walker and Jessica Alba). Not many extreme errors in my opinion.
47 meters is my favourite movie to watch as a divemaster and a marine biologist lol ….. a must watch for all divers
Y'all should check for inaccuracies in the movies, fool's gold and deep blue sea.
Gunna need a bigger boat… Best movie line ever!!!
