What's left behind the scenes
- Diver Rick Stanton praised the filmmakers for the accuracy of their presentation of facts and said they only erred by depicting the water in the cave as murky with dirt. In reality, visibility in the cave was simply zero, but if the filmmakers had shown zero visibility, as in reality, the audience simply wouldn't have seen anything.
- Colin Farrell later recounted that he repeatedly experienced uncontrollable bouts of fear underwater, and that he would think twice before agreeing to underwater filming again.
- Viggo Mortensen approached the film's director Ron Howard with a proposal that he and Colin Farrell dive themselves, rather than using stunt doubles. He and Farrell trained under the guidance of Dick Stanton and John Vonlanthen. Howard did not object.
- After filming wrapped, all the actors admitted that at some point they invariably experienced panic attacks underwater.
- According to actor Tom Bateman, Viggo Mortensen often volunteered to solve purely technical problems with the equipment and other technical issues, without waiting for specialists.
- Preparing for the role, Colin Farrell renewed his diving license and changed his signature hairstyle.
- The sets were built in a huge building the size of an airplane hangar, with equally large pools and a long, floodable tunnel with a 6-meter ceiling. The film's cast trained for several hours a day, practicing their movements and navigating different parts of the 'underwater cave'. Each subsequent section of the 'cave' was more difficult to traverse than the previous one, and was constructed while filming was underway in the previous section. The actors filmed in the corresponding section of the cave and then spent some time training to navigate the next one.
- Experts brought on as consultants during filming said they had never before been present on a shoot of such complexity.
