Three friends, Hans (Horst Janson), Peter (Hans Hass, Jr.) and Ellen (Monika Lundi) go on a treasure hunt looking for millions beneath the ocean off the coast of Mexico.
They hire Rene Chagrin (Marius Weyers) to help them learn to swim and dive. Rene has his own ideas about the money, and he plans to run off with all of ir=t by himself.
Rene's female friend is Pascale (Sandra Prinsloo) and she falls for Peter right away. This sets up an interesting adventure as these people face all the usual dangers including a large band of pirates.
Director Harald Reinl got the movie photographed beautifully and it really shows. The film moves along quickly and manages to hold the viewers attention.
The original title was "No Gold For A Dead Diver" but was changed after "Jaws" was released in 1975. It does have a very downbeat ending and that I didn't like too well, but the women are sexy as hell and it was interesting to see Janson in another movie. I have ony seen him in "Capt. Kronos, Vampire Hunter".
