Surprisingly, this film, although Soviet, totally bewitched me, and possibly is at the root of my obsession with diving (or was it vice versa, and I liked it just because I was already pre-programmed to be an aquatic person?).

I never saw it again since that time, but for years it represented the strongest cinema experience for me. I know I can find it now on a DVD, and there is even a more modern series inspired by it, but I hesitate ordering them - afraid of destroying the good memories.
