- Yes. Yes.

- You are? Hey, help me.

Does my butt at least look cute in this?

Oye.

You ladies ready?

Yeah.

- Yeah?

- Yup. Okay.

Oh, God.

- Relax. Okay? All right.

- Okay. Okay.

- Calm down.

- Okay. Yeah, I'm okay.

Good.

- That's it.

- Okay.

Here, hold on to that.

- There you go. Now...

- Put these down?

Uh-huh.

Check your air. You should both have 200 bar.

Yeah, 200.

- That's your air.

- Okay.

When it gets to 100, you need to let me know.

When it gets to 50,

I'm gonna bring you back up.

- 50 is the orange.

- Yes.

Yeah, okay. Yeah, I know that, yeah.

- That's it.

- Right, okay.

You're only gonna be going down about five

meters. It's unlikely at that depth, but...

...if you get any pain in your ears,

you just need to equalize.

Tilt you head back and swallow.

- Equalize.

- Okay.

- Head back, swallow.

- Okay.

Yeah. All right, now just remember...

...the faster you breathe,

the faster you use up your air.

- Relax. Tranquilo, okay?

- Okay.

Trust me, once you're down there,

you're not gonna want to come back up.

- Yeah. Great.

- Right.

- Good? Awesome, all right.

- Yeah, I can do this.

Okay. Okay.

It's great. You're gonna love it down there.

Gracias, Javi.

Next?

- Oh, I'm so scared.

- Be careful.

Shark don't hear so good up here,

you know? But underwater?

You're in his world. Can hear your

heartbeat for up to five miles away.

Can sense if you're frightened or weak.

Track you down.

Good to go!

Don't pay any attention to that pendejo.

You're going to have a great time.

Can I borrow your camera?

Yeah, but...

...if you drop it,

you got to go down and get it.

- What are we doing, Kate?

- Smile.

Adios, muchachas!

- I'm really scared.

- I'm going to go first, okay?

Oh, I'm so excited. Okay.

All right. You're next.

That's it.

Right.

Oh, Kate. You can see for miles.

Kate, look at the fish.

Do you see all the fish?

It's so much better than sitting

in a hotel room, right?

Oh, wow.

This is awesome.

I had no idea.

- Can you girls hear me?

- Yes.

- Lisa, how you doing?

- I'm good, actually.

- Kate, how about you?

- Yeah, I'm good. I can't see any sharks.

All right, well, just be patient. We're gonna

add a little bit more chum to the water.

Okay.

Oh, wow. It kind of takes your breath away.

How deep do you think it goes?

I have no idea.

- Wave to the camera.

- Cheese! Hi!

Hi.

Oh, wow.

- Can you take a picture of me?

- Yeah.

- Wait.

- Oh!

Oh, sh*t. Sorry. Sorry.

Oh, my God, the guys are going to be

so pissed. You've got to go and get that.

Oh, my God!

That is, like, the biggest shark.

This is amazing.

- There's another one.

- Oh, my God, he's huge.

Oh, my God, look at those teeth.

- I can't believe how close they are.

- I dare you to touch him.

Are you crazy?

Well, he definitely likes to look at you.

Did you feel that? The cage just moved.

I thought we were gonna drop for a moment.

Are you girls okay?

No, I think the cage

just dropped a little bit.

No, it's the winch mechanism.

It's fine. It just slipped a little bit.

- No, I think we want to come back up now.

- No, no, no. We don't. I'm sure it's nothing.

- We're fine, okay?

- Are you crazy?

No, we would like

to come back up now, please.

All right, listen. Standby.

We're going to bring you girls back up.

- Come on!

- Javi, estn seguras?

- Sorry.

- Lisa, come on.

I just don't feel safe in this cage.

- At least we got to see some sharks.

- I mean, I guess so.

It's just so cool.

I could stay down here forever.

Hey, Taylor, once Lisa's out,

can I go back down again?

- What? Taylor, we're sinking!

- We're sinking!

- Help us, guys!

- Taylor, help!

I have to get out of here!

I have to get out of here!

Taylor, help us!

Taylor!

Lisa. Oh, my God. Wake up. Wake up.

Lisa, please wake up. Please.

Wake up, wake up.

Lisa, please, wake up. Lis.

- No, no, no, no!

- Taylor! Taylor, help us!

- We're stuck here at the bottom!

- Lisa, you need to calm down.

- We need to get out of here!

- If you do not calm down, we will die here!

Look at me now! Stop! Stop!

- Kate, I can't breathe. I can't breathe.

- Slow your breathing. Please, please.

Slow your breathing. In. Out.

In.

Out. Come on.

Good, good.

The more you panic, the faster

you use up your air, okay?

I need you to slow down your breathing.

Okay, good. Good, good.

How deep are we?

47 meters.

It must've ripped the crane

right off the boat.

What are we gonna do?

Listen! Can you hear that?

Taylor?

Taylor?

- Help us!

- Hello!

Taylor?

- Taylor! Taylor!

- Wait, wait, wait. Stop.

We must be just out of range of transmission.

We've gotta try and get back

in contact with them.

How?

We can almost hear them, right?

So maybe we're just a bit too deep.

Maybe... maybe if I swim up a tiny bit,

then we'll be back in range, okay?

I could tell them that we're alive,

and they need to come and get us.

Yeah, but what about the sharks?

They can sense us down here, right?

I'll swim as close to the cage

as I can. I'll be okay.

No, no, no, please, Kate.

Promise me you won't leave me down here.

I won't leave you, I promise.

I promise.

Oh, sh*t.

It's stuck.

No, it's not. We can get it.

We can do it!

Push!

- We're not gonna get out through this side.

- Yes, we are. Yes, we are.

I can get it. Just give me a second. Okay.

I think I can get out through these bars.

- I need to take my tank off, though.

- Wait, what? Is that even safe?

It's going to be okay.

You can pass it to me when I'm through.

That gap looks really small.

Do you think you could even make it?

Take my BCD, okay?

Okay.

- I need you to watch out for me.

- Please, be careful.

Okay. I got this. Okay.

Okay. I'm okay.

Kate, come on, you can get this.

Come on, push! Push, Kate.

- You got it.

- I can't get through.

What are we going to do, Kate?

- What are we going to do?

- I'm gonna have to take my mask off.

No. No, no, no. No, no, no. Kate, Kate,

Kate, there has to be some other way.

- No, just stop and think for a second.

- You have to calm down.

- No, no. Kate, you can't take off your mask.

- Lisa, calm down! Stop.

- I can't. I can't.

- Stop.

Please. I'm gonna take some deep breaths...

...I'm gonna take it off, and go through

and you're gonna pass it right to me, okay?

What if you can't get it

back on again? You'll drown.

It's okay.

All right, you ready?

Here, take the mask!

Here, put this on, quick.

Come on, put it on quick. Hurry up.

Hurry. Hurry, hurry, hurry, please.

Before I make contact,

I'm gonna move the crane.

Just in case you need to get out

and I'm not here, okay?

Please don't say that, Kate.

We're going to get out of this together.

Just keep a look out, okay?

It's not moving.

I'm going to go see

if it's stuck at the base.

Kate, I'm scared. What if the sharks come?

It's caught against the rocks.

I think that I can move it.

Okay, but hurry, please.

Come on, Kate.

I think I have it free.

- Oh, come on. Come on.
