Sixteen Fathoms Deep (also written as 16 Fathoms Deep) is a 1948 American adventure film directed by Irving Allen and starring Lloyd Bridges, Lon Chaney Jr. and Arthur Lake. It was a remake of the 1934 film of the same title in which Chaney had also starred.[1]

Plot

Lloyd Douglas turns up to a town in Florida and gets work as a diver. He works for Captain Briacos.

Production

The film was shot on location in Tarpon Springs, Florida.[2] It was to be shot in Ansco, a form of color stock.[3] It was intended to film only some footage in Florida and the rest in California but the footage would not match so it had to be shot entirely in Florida.[4]
