SeaQuest 2032: Bad Water (1993)
Season 1, Episode 8
5/10
Really bad science
15 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
For a show supposedly based on science, there was so much wrong with this episode. Most of it for dramatic effect. 1) Right at the beginning, the caption said the sightseeing sub was on the bottom of the Caribbean, yet the Seaquest is search in the Bermuda Triangle. No part of the Triangle is in the Caribbean. 2) While salt water is more dense than fresh water, a vessel going from salt to fresh would not lose enough buoyancy to make it sink. Also a freshwater current entering a saltwater environment would cause an upwelling current, as the less dense fresh water rises to the surface. 3) If the raft was in the eye of a hurricane, they would be able to see the eye wall all around them.
