No offence but from the trailer. 2 people go out diving, come up after diving and the boat has gone, shark appears soon after. Doesn't sound like it has much potential to me, but there could be a twist in there somewhere I suppose

I'd agree with Peanuts - complete load of old tosh.

Overhyped rubbish, save your money and don't ever watch it. Not worth the time or even the money for DVD rental...

The first fifteen minutes has other people in it - the last hour or so is nothing but two people and a vast amount of sea-water... boring, snoring.

Far, far from the expectation level set by the trailers, advertising etc.

Exactly what I thought .....

Now, on the other hand "Super Size Me" is well worth a laugh... actually much scarier in many ways than Open Water.

bottom line was lots of ppl thought something iffy went on. Its also VERY unlikely they were eaten by sharks as no such damage was found on the wet suits when they turned up....also- not sure why a shark would eat a human? maybe when its dead but not bobbing about with a wetsuit on in clear water.

I believe that one on the wetsuits had some damage that was potentially cause by sharks.
