Paul, an experienced deep sea 'saturation' diver, returns to the rigs following a personal tragedy.
A technically demanding film that is able to rely on the sound design to bring the saturation tank set build to life. Creating a sense of mounting pressure, physically and mentally, while attentively emboldening the protagonists conflict.
