Anecdotes
Brazilian diver Alberto José do Nascimento was the only one that supported Brashear since the beginning in the team, but was ignored in the movie and replaced by different characters along the film

Gaffes
Throughout the film, sailors salute chief petty officers and address them as "sir." Enlisted personnel only salute and address officers as "sir." A sailor addresses a chief petty officer (senior enlisted person) as "chief," "senior chief," or "master chief," not "sir."

When an enlisted man is referred to as "sir", the usual response is, "Don't call me sir...I work for a living."

Citations
Billy Sunday: The Navy Diver is not a fighting man, he is a salvage expert. If it is lost underwater, he finds it. If it's sunk, he brings it up. If it's in the way, he moves it. If he's lucky, he will die young, 200 feet beneath the waves, for that is the closest he'll ever get to being a hero.

Crédits fous
The woman in the detox center is listed as "Pinch-Faced Woman at Detox Center"

8/10

A great film from George Tillman Jr.

TIllman Jr.'s drama about the first African American Navy Master Diver (Gooding Jr.), who defies all odds and achieves his goals despite a strict embittered trainer. The screenplay is not bad, a bit extreme at times, but the direction and acting is first-rate, and this film is inspiring and achieves what its supposed to do. I liked DeNiro in the lead, although its not on par with his masterful works (taxi driver, godfather and all the others) it is as good as his other good performances such as in King of Comedy or Angel Heart. DeNiro is always convincing and believable here, very good performance, Gooding Jr. is not bad, definitely one of his better performances. --- IMDb Rating: 6.6, my rating: 9/10
