Review of Blue Water, White Death (1971) by George F — 09 Mar 2017
Fantastic footage of a bygone era. Never will the oceans team with Oceanic White Tips due to shark finning. The Great White footage is spectacular and raw, something no studio film could possibly replicate.
Peter Gimbel is a gentleman / scholar / adventurer, an archetype that no longer exists in our society. He was the first man to dive the wreck of the Andrea Doria, just two days after she sank in July of 1956.
He did it on compressed air, using a double hose regulator and little else. No BCD, no Tri-Mix, no recompression chamber aboard his vessel. Just curiosity and guts. This flick is a must see for those who love the ocean, and the human spirit.
