Movie - Open Water.... Bad for scuba

[Weston]

"Open Water" Angers Dive Industry

"Open Water" opens in August and is a film that portrays scuba diving in a bad light according to dive industry representatives. Col McKenzie, executive director of the Association of Marine Park Tourism Operators and spokesman for Dive Queensland, told the press that the movie is damaging for the scuba diving industry."This is just a piece of entertainment fiction. It's not based on fact, it's based on supposition," he said...

The Hollywood movie is loosely based on the true story of a scuba incident on Queensland's Great Barrier Reef in 1998. Americans Tom and Eileen Lonergan mysteriously disappeared from a diving tour at a reef off Port Douglas almost six years ago. An inquest pronounced them lost at sea but there are some who believe that the couple didn't die at sea at all.
