The true story of Tom and Eileen Lonergan was covered in an episode of The Investigators (a series on TruTV) titled Deep Secrets:
http://www.imdb.com/board/11166368/
Here's the Wikipedia entry for them:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_and_Eileen_Lonergan
Here are a few relevant snippets from that article:
"Several theories were suggested surrounding their disappearance. At the time, it was suggested that the Lonergans might have staged their disappearance. However, the Lonergans' bank accounts were never touched and their insurance policies were not claimed."
"Fishermen found a diver's slate (a device used for communicating underwater) and wrote down what it reportedly read: "[Mo]nday Jan 26; 1998 08am. To anyone [who] can help us: We have been abandoned on A[gin]court Reef by MV Outer Edge 25 Jan 98 3pm. Please help us [come] to rescue us before we die. Help!!!"
"The coroner dismissed suggestions that the Lonergans had either committed suicide or faked their own disappearance, and formally charged Jack Nairn, skipper of the dive boat, with their unlawful killing. He was later found to be not guilty, but his company was fined after pleading guilty to negligence." -

Did you miss the very end?
Their camera was found.
So at least it was assured that they both died in open water.
Since the place was known to be populated by sharks, all the rest is simple reasoning and of course, partially fiction. -

This was based on the true story of a couple named Tom and Eileen Lonergan who died at sea because they were forgotten during a scuba diving excursion.
This happened in 1998.
You need to come up with a true pedestrian story line. -

The movie might not have been all that much, but the story itself is really creepy, specially since it's bases on real events. Just think about it, how something like this happened and put yourselves in the same position. The scene at the end portraits the horror, when she is surrounded by sharks until she just gives up. She was't pulled down, she looks around, sees all the sharks and just thinks "either they start eating me or i just drown myself". What would you do?

"Based on true events" thing is used just to sell these horror movies.
They don't know a thing except that two people disappeared then you can say every movie is based on true story, because something similar somewhere sometimes happened.
At the end the sharks realized that she was a good person, so they all became friends and took her to their underwater city, where she became a mermaid and lived happily ever after.~
Must be it! -

so what if she did like that james bond girl went underwater and just start swallowing and inhaling water. i doubt very much she'd try to drown herself by going underwater and holding her breath until it ran out.
but anyways, yes i found this movie terribly awful and the ending was just as bad
It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality -

I doubt the character in this movie was mentally strong enough to swallow water on purpose, but maybe a combination of both would work if she went deep enough: holding breath until it runs out, then gasping for breath as a reflex action and by this inhaling water
However, my point was that just "dipping below surface" wouldn't suffice because of the higher ascending force in salt water.
