4 out of 5 stars The re-issue finaly relased    December 21, 2008
Mr. R. D. Parsons (United Kingdom)
It has been a long time coming but they have finally released 'Blue Water, White Death' again after years of it being a deleted title. Not only that but it also gets a DVD release.
It is great to see this amazing Documentary when searching for the Great Whites was in its early stages. The team behind this did an excellent job with limited Technology of this time. Join the famous Taylors as well as Rodney Fox to see the Great White Shark. Picture quality is superb and some extras are included with an event to celebrate this achievement.

Una pelicula que hizo historia en el cine documntal del buceo, siendo sus protagonistas los primeros en filmar y fotografiar a los tiburones blancos sin proteccion alguna de jaulas. imperdible!! muy emocionante las escenas extras con el homenaje a los integrantes del equipo casi 40 anos despues. realmente me emociono y trajo a mi mente mis memorias de adolescente que sonaba con fotografiar tiburones bajo el agua, hoy lo he logrado y publicado esas fotos en varias revistas.

This is a great documentary. The underwater photography and action are incredible. Also, the movie is worth watching just for the cast of characters - be sure to watch the reunion of the cast in the special features part. I am so glad that this movie is available again for everyone to see. GET IT!

This film is RARE. It is a ground breaking, historical documentry which, unfortunately, is very little known. If you are a serious diver, this is a MUST-HAVE.


5 out of 5 stars Great underwater cinematography, suspense, and diving history, rolled into one!    December 23, 2007

Blue Water, White Death is a wonderful blend of action, suspense and historical underwater cinematography.
The shark encounters might seem a bit tame by today's standards, especially if you are used to watching leaping Great Whites on NG's Shark Week and other wild-life shows. But the movie was shot in the innocent pre-Jaws early 70's, when few people knew much about sharks or shark behavior.
Watching the divers fend off schools of circling Oceanic White-tip sharks off South Africa is intense as it gets. Later, in Australian waters, you feel the adrenelin pumping as the divers film from inside cages while Great Whites rake their razor-sharp, serrated incisors along the bars.
A special treat is watching legends Stan Waterman, Valerie and Ron Taylor, Rodney Fox, and the late Peter Gimbel, diving in their prime, and then seeing them today and listening to them reprise their exciting experience.
The movie is unique and belongs in every ocean lover's collection.
