*** Possibly justified, since the shark from the original novel (and the sequel) was explicitly stated to be thirty feet as well.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: The first victim, Shelby Overman, who breaks the cardinal rule of diving: diving ''alone'' (or without telling anyone where he was going) to inspect a malfunctioning underwater gate. Even if there hadn't been a huge shark out there, some other disaster could have easily happened with no one to rescue him--indeed, until his mangled corpse is found, there's considerable speculation from everyone--his girlfriend, his friends, his employers, that he may have just run off on a bender. Later, his boss lampshades it when they go searching for his body.

* RealityEnsues: very odd thing to say about this movie. But Lea Thompson’s free spirit ways and Sean overcoming his well justified fears were sure set up like they were going to be important. Instead Lea is wounded, Sean knows he’s not going to be able to help, she goes to the hospital, he rides along, and they’re never seen nor mentioned again.
