hoot!  Check it  out!

Funneeeeee!! Can you imagine the  coordination of getting all those people
down there for a quick shot before  they all drowned?! Most of them are not
wearing air tanks. Can't wait to  see the scenes in GOF, and especially if
Dan is scantily clad to show off  his buff bod, instead of wearing those
cumbersome dress robes, as per the  book!  :-)







Only Dan and the stunt doubles (all of the non-scuba wearing folks  are stunt 
doubles except for Dan, as reported on DanRadcliffe.com today -- no  other 
"star actors") are without scuba gear.  And if you look at the guy  next to Dan 
with the blue stuff on his scuba gear?  He has an extra  mouthpiece in his 
hand -- he probably shares his tank with Dan, and I'm sure the  other actors have 
similar helpers next to them.  That's how they do  underwater stunts, with 
divers just barely out of camera range with air  available for the actors.  I 
know an actor who was in a movie where he was  chained to cinderblocks and 
tossed into the ocean (a tank) -- his diver didn't  get his signal that he needed 
air quickly enough and he said his lungs almost  exploded waiting for him!  (He 
was fine, just had another nifty story to  add to his career full of 
interesting stories, heehee.)
