About Open Water
Daniel (Daniel Travis) and Susan (Blanchard Ryan) embark on a tropical vacation with their scuba-diving certifications in tow. During a group dive, the two separate themselves from the others to dive a little deeper. An incorrect head-count suggests the entire group has returned, so the boat departs. When the pair surfaces, they make out a vessel in the distance, but it does not immediately set in that they have been left behind. With sharks lurking beneath, their survival chances grow smaller.

Swim England to ban weighing of children
By Rebecca WoodsBBC News
Swim England is to ban the weighing of children at its clubs after swimmers spoke out about suffering eating disorders and Mental Health issues.
The governing body said the new policy would tackle " disordered eating, anxiety and depression".
Olympic medallist Cassie Patten , welcomed The Move .
Several swimmers have told The Bbc they were harmed by weighing regimes and body-obsessed coaches.
Commonwealth Youth Games gold medallist Phoebe Lenderyou said she had suffered bulimia for five years after being as a young athlete.
Swim England introduced guidelines around weighing in November 2021 but it would become policy that " all affiliated clubs and coaches must comply with".
The organisation's chief executive Jane Nickerson has apologised to swimmers who had suffered and vowed to change a bullying culture in the sport.
Patten said there had been " too many instances in The Past of unacceptable behaviour around weighing athletes and this policy sets out the parameters to prevent that inappropriate conduct happening in the future".
" Performance is a key part of an athlete's development but we also need to prioritise their Mental Health and wellbeing, " she added.
" This policy also ensures there is the education and support in place to help reduce the risks of athletes potentially developing an eating disorder/disordered eating, or other Mental Health concerns. "
Patten, who won a bronze medal in Open Water swimming at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, has been appointed to Swim England 's new oversight committee which will help to manage safeguarding and welfare across the sport.
The policy states those on the " talent pathway" - athletes who are identified as having Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth potential - Can be weighed but this should " only be undertaken with clearly documented reasoning, specific to that athlete, and with The Athlete 's optimal long-term development in mind".
Athletes aged over 18 Can also be weighed using the criteria.
The policy has been produced in consultation with British Swimming , Scottish Swimming and Swim Wales .
The policy states: " We recognise that in some situations, where the appropriate policies and procedures are in place, weighing athletes Can be a useful tool to contribute to tracking changes in health, growth, aiding performance and progression.
" However, the need for this policy is to prevent potential areas of concern due to some of the related psychological distress which may come from weighing athletes, such as disordered eating, anxiety and depression. "
Swim England recently published its Heart of Aquatics plan, in which it sets out its aim to put safeguarding and welfare at The Heart of the sport following several swimmers coming forward to say they had been harmed.
