Revised Script:
EXT. CHOPPY SEA – DAY
A small fishing boat bobs up and down on the rough waves as it makes its way towards a large rocky
outcrop close to shore. On board are three men: WES, a weather-beaten ship captain who steers
the boat with ease and confidence, and two NAVY SEAL-type divers, GREY and VINCE.
CUT TO:
INT. FISHING BOAT – CONTINUOUS
Wes: “Hang on boys, we’re almost here”
Grey and Vince prepare their diving equipment as the boat approaches the dive site.
Vince: “Remember, if anyone questions our location, tell them we are here recovering weather buoys.”
Wes: “Yes, I got that.”
Grey and Vince look at a rough map they have of the wreck and discuss their plan.
Vince: “I reckon we go straight for the wheelhouse and look for the compass. We’re not going to be able to stay down long in this weather”.
Grey nods in agreement.
CUT TO:
EXT. UNDER SEA – CONTINUOUS
As the divers enter the water, the camera shot changes to show the wreck on the sea floor. The divers are seen entering the water from below as if someone from the wreck is watching them. The divers descend slowly and sharks swim by.
EXT.WRECK SITE- DAY
Grey and Vince swim through the wreckage, visibility is poor due to the rough weather. They press on. As they approach the bridge there is a movement and bubbles off to the side and part of the wreck collapses. Vince urgently signals to Gray that they must get out of there and surface.
EXT. SMALL FISHING BOAT – DAY
Wes spots the divers and starts to pull them out of the water. They climb back aboard, breathing heavily and looking shaken.
Wes: “Are you boys ok? Why are you back so soon? Did you find what you were looking for?”
Grey: “Yeah, we’re Ok. But we need to get out of here. There was something or someone else down there”.
Cuts to:
Vince opening dive bag with lamp and compass inside.
FADE TO BLACK.
