Visible crew/equipment: Beth attempts to convince Norman to inject himself with a tranquilizer by trapping him in a room and filling it with water. As the water rises, Norman frantically looks for a way out. There is a quick overhead shot of this scene that flashes on for just a second, and if you look around the perimeter of the room - you will see the entire crew, complete with camera and lights.

Continuity: When Norman is running through the spaceship, he runs through a doorway and you get a glimpse of his facemask. It's dry. After going through water to get to the spaceship, wouldn't there be water on it?

Revealing: As Ted is being burnt by the fire, you can see his body trapped underneath the debris. In a side shot of Ted it is very obviously a stunt dummy as the left arm and head stay completely still and the arm remains completely stiff despite hearing screams and shouts from the pain.

Visible crew/equipment: When Norman gets back into the ship, Beth lies down with him for a few seconds. When the camera takes a shot from directly above the two, you can see a crewman's leg in the left side of the screen.

Factual error: Just before they enter the water, they state the water temperature is 1,1°C. Waters temperature at it's maximum density is 3,98°C which it certainly would be at that depth.

Other: They're meant to be on rebreathers (they recycle the air around the system, so you 'rebreathe' it), yet in the u/w scenes, it can be seen that they're on open circuit systems, i.e. conventional scuba, as they're venting exhaust gases. Rebreathers do not release bubbles in the quantities shown.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene after the storm warning has been received, as Captain Harold C. Barnes takes something out of the shelf, a microphone is visible for some seconds at the top (seen on VCR version).

Continuity: When Norman should give himself the injection, the syringe moves around on the table. First it's parallel to the edge of the table, then at an angle. Later, in the overhead shot, it's lying in a completely different spot.

Continuity: When Norman and Harry are talking in the dorm after they hear of the storm coming, Harry is lying down in the bunk telling Norman how they are going to die. There is a shot of Harry's leg at the end of the bunk, then Harry sits up against the wall and in the next shot his leg is still at the end of the bunk, but wouldn't it have moved back when he sat up against the wall?
