The sharks used in this film were Caribbean Reef Sharks. The cast wore chain mesh under their diving suits for protection and though none of them was bitten by the sharks, Blanchard Ryan (Susan) was nipped by a barracuda on the first day of filming. In the movie, after Susan is bitten, her boyfriend says, "It was probably a barracuda seeing what you taste like."
Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis spent over 120 hours in the water over the course of production.
This movie was financed by director Chris Kentis and his wife, producer Laura Lau, both avid scuba divers. The movie cost $130,000 to make and was later bought by Lion's Gate for $2.5 million after its screening at Sundance.
The school of jellyfish featured in the movie showed up on the day the crew planned to film that particular scene; it was not switched to film that scene on behalf of the jellyfish. Coincidentally, after that day, no jellyfish ever appeared on location for the whole duration of the shoot.
Blanchard Ryan is in fact deeply afraid of sharks and as a result Daniel Travis had to enter the shark infested waters first each day to assure her they were not in danger.
"Susan: Was that a shark? Daniel: I don't know. I think it was a dolphin. Susan: No it wasn't a dolphin, because if it was you would be over there playing with it!"
"[last lines] [a camera has been found in a shark's stomach] Man: Check it out. [laughs] Child: What's the yellow thing? Man: Man, they really do eat anything. I wonder if it works."
