« Man: Check it out.

[laughs]
« Child: What's the yellow thing?
»
« Man: Man, they really do eat anything. I wonder if it works.

« Daniel: The only reason we are out here in the first place is because of your fucking job!
»
« Susan: What?
»
« Daniel: If it were not for your job, we would not have thrown our plans out the window, rushed around at the last minute and settled on this fucking trip! We would be at home, in the middle of our hectic lives, which right now sounds like heaven to me. And in a month's time, seven months ago, we would be where we were supposed to be in the first place, and paying less than we are now to be shark bait!

Plots:
Based on the true story of two scuba divers accidentally stranded in shark infested waters after their tour boat has left.
A couple on a holiday in the Caribbean decide to spend the day on a scuba diving trip. But was it the wrong decision? When a mis-count happens on the boat, Susan and Daniel are left behind in the middle of the ocean, the boat long gone. With all their hopes set on the boat coming back to rescue them, they try to keep themselves safe, especially when sharks start to appear.
Happy couple Daniel ‘Dan’ and Susan book a tropical holiday in the Caribean. They toughen out a mosquito-spoiled night after the exhausting flight, looking forward to the scuba diving next day. They enjoy it so much they’re last to come up, but by then the boat has left, despite the obligatory divers count, which got upset after Seth, who forgot his mask, convinced someone to dive as regulations-required buddy with him. The current carries them away in open water, helplessly trying to attract someone’s attention in vain, stung jellyfish and fearing shark attacks. Susan starts whining and absurdly blaming Dan, who feels forced to remind her that it’s her’s. Both are desperately exhausted by the time their disappearance gets noticed and a rescue operation by plane and boat is mounted.
