The diving is hilariously inaccurate. They pretent to have a little of knowledge about diving but the majority of it is incorrect. Safety stop is advised from that depth but not mandatory. If you spend 12 hours in a hyperbaric chamber you are seriously injured and you need many months of rehabilitation. With the relatively easy dive depth wise that they did such serious consequences are laughable. And nobody is hold hostage in a hyperbaric, if you want to go you can go obviously. On top of that the dive time depends on your air consumption and definitely not on a timer that starts beeping like it's a bomb going off.
As said before, don't touch any marine life. No animals, no coral no other plants etc. Not only can you damage it beyond repair (there are also oils on your hands that hurt the protective layer of animals such as rays) but you can also hurt yourself. Some aquatic plants or coral are toxic like fire coral. Extremely bad example from Netflix. Besides that I'm a professional diver and their gear was not set up properly and their octo (alternative air source, the yellow hose) was not tucked in properly but was clipped behind their waist belt. Not only is it completely useless this way in case of emergency and can result in potential death of one of the divers, the fact that it is dangling can damage the reef that they are trying to protect. This is literally lesson one. So shame on Zac Efron who is a certified diver (I assume because it looks like it wasn't his first time) so he should know this but definitely shame on the dive operator.
As a Dutch person this episode was hilarious and terrible at the same time. If you are planning to air a theme park episode then at least get a real Dutch actor to play a Dutch person. Now she shounds German/Russian. How hard is it to get that right? There are so many Dutch people in the US of which a lot are actors. Americans nevertheless never ever seem to care to get other culturrs/languages right. And that's appalling for a show that is liberal. Do better.
