Visible crew/equipment: After Calvin Bouchard makes the announcement to tourists visiting the Undersea Kingdom to evacuate, we see the tour guide lead the crowd through the tunnels. The green screen backdrop is still in the final cut. They forgot to add in the underwater effect.

Trivia
At some of the theaters showing this film, when the shark explodes, the "guts" are actually E.T. dolls that were being sold. See more...
Jaws 3-D (1983) - 5 major mistakes
starring Dennis Quaid, Lea Thompson (add more)
Factual error: When the shark is chasing Mike and his girlfriend near the end you can see air bubbles coming out of the fin (obviously a hole in the puppet). Real sharks do not blow bubbles from their fins.
Factual error: The window in the underwater control room has to be made from some thick material such as plexiglas to stand the pressure. Yet the shark simply lifts its snout a little and sends thin pieces of glass shattering everywhere.
Revealing: The shark attacks a little wooden platform in the water which 3 men then fall through. You can see this is made from a lightweight wood such as balsa so that it will break apart easily, and it's not the sort of wood such a thing should be made of.
Visible crew/equipment: In the opening credits we see shots of water skiers climbing on top of each other to try and form a human pyramid. In one long shot you can see the side of the wake which the crew’s speedboat is making.
