Brazilian diver Alberto José do Nascimento was the only one that supported Brashear since the beginning in the team, but was ignored in the movie and replaced by different characters along the film
Master Chief Billy Sunday (Robert De Niro) was based on two people in Carl's career.
The year after this film was released, Cuba Gooding, Jr. portrayed Doris Miller, the first African-American to be awarded the Navy Cross, in Pearl Harbor (2001).
This picture was made with the blessing and cooperation of the U.S. Department of the Navy.
Carl Brashear's great-nephew is NHL bruiser Donald Brashear of the New York Rangers.
"Billy Sunday: The Navy Diver is not a fighting man, he is a salvage expert. If it is lost underwater, he finds it. If it's sunk, he brings it up. If it's in the way, he moves it. If he's lucky, he will die young, 200 feet beneath the waves, for that is the closest he'll ever get to being a hero."
"Billy Sunday: A Chief Petty Officer shall not drink. However, if he should drink he shall not get drunk. If he should get drunk, he shall not stagger. And if he should stagger, he shall not fall. And if he should fall, he will fall in such a manner as to cover up his rank so that passerbyers will think he is an officer."
