OK, it's been said by other reviewers, this is a low-budget film. But even for a low budget film you could make an effort to get basic details right.

The diving scenes are completely wrong (mixing real cave diving footage involving sidemounted divers with the actors of this movie diving in backmounted recreational dive sets).

It is supposed to be an exploration to an ancient site, but suddenly there is a perfect wooden stair when they surface at the end of the first cave dive. And there are cave lines in all dive scenes. So, these caves were dived before.

During the briefing at the surface the dive leader says: "we come back as soon as we get down to a third of our tanks". Obviously that means you would die, as you can't make it back anymore (having used two thirds to go in).

I could go on like this, but the point is clear. If you can't bother about such details as a director, than you might as well not bother doing a movie.

However the worst is the end. It looks like they ran out of money and time (or perhaps the director got bored?) so they wrap up the movie with some bullshit narrative. I watched the whole movie until the last five minutes. That end brought my rating down from 4 stars to 1 star.
