The heart of the film is its action, recorded with immense technical skill, and it is so pure that it's as poetic as anything I've seen on the screen in a long, long time.

Still surprisingly unclichéd; a film definitely to get your teeth into.

It's quite a documentary.

Blue Water, White Death may not be as outwardly thrilling as Jaws or its progeny, but respect must be paid to the daring team of divers/photographers for the challenges they faced and the risks they took. And it's all real, kids.
