The dead sailor harbouring a live crab, spooking Jammer out of his wits in the sunk submarine, is director James Cameron's younger brother Mike. The scene had to be shot several times to get it right, forcing Mike to hold the live crabs in his mouth, until the cry for "action", before releasing them. At one point he had to crush one with his teeth, as it gave him quite a bit of grief. Brotherly love immortalized.

In some scenes, the occupants of the submersibles look like projections on a screen, because they were. Scenes filmed with miniature submersibles had images of the actors projected inside, to give the illusion that they were occupied.

The shoot was so torturous that the cast and crew came up with jokish terms such as "life's abyss, and then you dive", "son of abyss" and "The Abuse". There was even a mock movie poster made with the title "The Abuse".

The water tube that floats about was partially created with Adobe Photoshop, which was unheard of at that time. Adobe Photoshop had not been released to the public at that point.

The fictional company that owns and operates the undersea drilling rig is called Benthic Petroleum. In Terminator 2: Judgment Day (also directed by James Cameron) after the escape from the mental hospital, our heroes hide out at a gas station. The pumps at the station feature the Benthic Petroleum logo.

The crew obtained some of the actual fluid breathing system liquid from Duke University, and in the scene where Hippy's rat is submerged in the fluid, it is really breathing underwater. The rat, named Beany, survived for a year afterwards and died of natural causes.

When Bud and Lindsay are trapped in the mini-sub, he remarks that all he needs is a Crescent wrench to fix the leak.  Moments before, when trying to secure the underwater robot, he threw a Crescent wrench out of the way to get to a rope in a tool basket outside the sub. Did anyone else spot the irony?

Due to injuries he sustained during filming, Ed Harris had difficulty accepting a role in "State of Grace." Luckily, he was able to make that film.
