Found this image of actor,Thomas Jane, swimming among Caribbean reef sharks, in Nassau, Bahamas, for the cult favorite shark film, DEEP BLUE SEA.

🌊 A group of sharks, btw, is called a Shiver, for their sleek, cutting movements as they swim together through the water. Some also call it a Frenzy, but that can have other connotations.
🌊The film is about Jane and a team of research scientists who think sharks may hold the key to curing Alzheimer’s. That is, until the sharks decided to rebel from their captivity .
🌊It was shot primarily in Baja, at the former Titanic studios, where they utilized animatronic sharks in the large tanks. (Edge Innovations) The real ones were shot in the Bahamas location. Certain CGI shark sequences completed the overall approach. (Hammerhead Prods & Cinesite)
