The Deep is a 1977 film directed by Peter Yates based on the novel by Peter Benchley.
A pair of young vacationers become involved in a dangerous conflict with local drug dealing criminals when they discover a fortune in sunken World War Two-era morphine — and another fortune in 17th century Spanish treasure — in shipwrecks on the Bermuda reefs.
[edit] Filming
Many of the open water diving sequences of the film were shot on the wreck of the RMS Rhone in the British Virgin Islands.
The film's poster alludes to an oft-cited clip of the film, in which a T-shirted and braless Jacqueline Bisset swims hurriedly to the surface.
