I thoroughly enjoyed Diving into the Darkness. A friend encouraged me to see it and I wasn't sure whether I would like a film about cave diving given I tend to feel a little uncomfortable in enclosed spaces and I am not a scuba diver myself. However, I thought this was a fabulous documentary - the story was captivating and the cinematography was stunning. The subject is niche but the film was so well done that it appeals to anyone regardless of whether they are interested in cave diving or not. The film's heroine, Jill Heinerth, is someone who likes to push the boundaries in her quest for adventure and knowledge. She is an inspirational person and the film does a wonderful job of explaining what she does, why she does it and how her data collection adds to the understanding of the world around us. The film maker did an excellent job in putting this film together - the way the story is told through the words and imagery plus the use of animation intertwined in the story make it super interesting and the suspense has you on the edge of your seat. If you are a diver you must see this film. If you love documentaries you must see this film. If you just like a great, inspirational story about a trailblazing woman you must see this film. I highly recommend it to anyone young and old.
