47 Meters - OK, is anyone actually going to see this?

Undomesticated equines could not make me go. Hell, you could have Claire Holt and Mandy Moore get into a jell-o wrestling contest on camera, and I wouldn't go see it.
Okay I would, but I would feel really, really bad about it afterwards.

I keep thinking it must be an unacknowledged sequel of Deep Blue Sea. Ginormous sharks, behaving in decidedly unshark-like ways? Sounds like DBS to me...
She's been on a hit tv show for the past year. Have you checked out This Is Us?
No I'm gonna have to look into that. My friend got to meet her back when she was a singer. She was very nice to him.

Does that come into play at 150 feet?

The funny thing about this whole movie is that, based on what I've read in YouTube comments on the trailer, going down 47 meters at the speed they were going probably would have killed them. At the very least the nature of the oxygen in their tanks would have changed at that depth making it more or less poisonous and toxic to breathe, if I'm not mistaken, if you have dive down particularly deep you have to use a more nitrogen rich gas mixture in your tanks.
The other thing pointed out by commenters is that the dive operator is pretty odd. They're using high end dive gear, ie full face masks with built in radios, yet they use some sort of cheap shark cage with no built in floats up top. They also, apparently, don't do regular inspections of the cables and/or latching mechanisms given how it fails.

It must have had the same writers as Covenant.

The ads that i've seen for it made the footage itself look terrible. Like, horribly grainy and blurry. that may be intentional, or it may be just the fact that it was showing up as grainy on digital streaming, but man, it looked BAD. Forget the story, the quality of the video just looked BAD.

This looks like something that should be on Syfy channel...

I am a free diver but I have scuba'ed. I used to have fantasies about wreck diving until I read "Shadow Divers" Awesome book!!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Divers
Deep water is unforgiving. At 50 feet you feel like being crushed. If you don't equalize your ear pressure along the way it becomes impossible and painful.
OK, it's not a documentary. I will watch it on cable and fast forward to see what happens. As for the safety inspections on the boat? My brother and his wife were left out in the ocean on a scuba trip. They didn't even count the number of people who got back. A fishing boat picked them up hours later.

In my experience, that's not the case. My deepest dive is about 100-110 feet off the continental shelf in the Bahamas. Now, admittedly, I wasn't down that deep for very long, and most of our time was spent at between 1 and 2 atmospheres of pressure, but I didn't feel like I was being crushed. I did equalize my pressure pretty regularly, though, including equalizing the pressure on my mask (which wasn't a high volume mask anyway). The rest of me never felt crushed, though.
47m down, though -- about 150 feet -- is DEEP.
The real issue is how much time you can spend down there, though, and how likely you are to suffer from nitrogen narcosis and/or the bends. NAUI's dive tables say you shouldn't be diving at 130feet (40m) for more than 8 min without requiring a decompression stop at 15 feet depth. You'll also blow through your air a lot faster, assuming you're breathing a standard compressed air mix. And, of course, if you ascend too quickly (like if you're being chased by a shark), you will end up getting the bends. (Although, no, you won't explode at the rate most people tend to swim, though you might rupture a lung.)
