The recently released scuba diving movie Sanctum, produced by the acclaimed producer and filmmaker James Cameron, got mixed reviews from audiences worldwide. Some complained that the movie which was loosely based a real life incident in which writer/producer Andrew wight was involved in, was exaggerated and over the top. But the action thriller, meant for the box office, didn’t claim to be based on exact events. As far as I’ve heard, divers have appreciated the technicalities of shooting such a film and identified with its characters when faced with the challenges of cave diving and decompression issues. Here’s a short comparison of the true story it was inspired by vs the movie. For pictures of the real incident and to read a first-hand account of the story, read- National Geographic’s SANCTUM: The Real Story
