    I personally think being stranded at sea is lot more scary than being lost in the forest. Think about it, you're not in your element, all predators have a giant advantage and you have to use energy to even stay afloat not to forget hypothermia. In contrast to the forest were you atleast could make a shelter and fire if you have basic survival skills. This is alot more terrifying.

    I went snorkeling in near Florida at 8 years old. My flippers didn’t fit right and the didn’t have another size so I took them off on the boat since I thought I was a strong swimmer. Apparently the current was quite strong because after 5 minutes I look up and the boat that was anchored was now quite a ways away. I started swimming as hard as I could and screaming but I just kept getting farther away. Luckily someone heard me and a scuba instructor came out and pulled me back in. Let me tell you, watching the boat you’re supposed to go home on get farther and farther away as you swim the best you can, slowly losing energy to the point you can barely move your legs and arms was absolutely terrifying. Not to mention the thing I was following and looking at while snorkeling was a bull shark.

    I really respect you saying it was unbeaten. This was possibly real life, and these were people who made natural and tragic mistakes. The Ocean is too unpredictable to say it could've been beaten with a guaranteed strategy. Does this movie seem the most professional? No. Does it have to be? No. So with that realistically tragic ending, I can live with it

    This is a really good kind of episode, I'm excited for it, this is the kind of information it's most probable to actually use, and shows a lot about Nerd Explains actual survival knowledge, love it.

    Found the jellyfish scene weird- moon jellies can’t sting humans. Their sting isn’t strong enough to penetrate human skin, let alone diving suits.

    Being stranded in the ocean will always be one of my biggest fears.

    "98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, for the people who have been to the moon, or 37 degrees Celsius for the people who haven't." That's the funniest thing I've heard all year.

    The true killer was that diving guides' incompetence. Holy crap.

    As someone with thalassophobia, this was a really difficult one to watch. Getting stranded at sea, or really any large, dark body of water, is genuinely one of my biggest fears ://

    The fact that no one noticed the missing tanks was something that always bothered me about the real life story as well.

    This movie seriously terrified me and was the main reason I turned down a dive trip a few years ago, because all I could think of was being left to die like this due to someone else's incompetence.

    I have to be honest, the scariest way to die for me has always been drowning. I have read about people who have near drowned saying it was almost peaceful, but it scared the crap out of me. When driving near bodies of water I even roll down the car windows so I have an escape route if I went off the road into the water. It’s THAT prominent in my mind.

    How in the actual fuck do you "accidentally" leave two people behind 60 miles off shore. That just seems like murder to me
