Is open Water the one where they fall off the boat and spend the whole film being too retarded to get back on it again?

'Based on a true story'.
Except the reality was the skipper of the dive boat realised what he'd done eventually and went back to find them.

nah, he didn't
it's based on something that happened off the Barrier Reef in Oz. Couple were left behind, they only realised days later when they hadn't been seen back at their hotel/campsite (can't remember which). No-one knows what happened to them. Apparently their flotation vests turned up months later undamaged which suggests "not eaten by sharks" but, who knows? The barrier reef is 60 miles off shore, they hardly swam back on their own.

My brain must be playing tricks on me.
That does ring a bell now.

This was my problem, how could the film be 'based on a true story'
when noone knew what had happened.

well, quite
although I think we can safely assume it didn't end well for them.

Seems I'm thinking of Open Water 2
it really is very bad.

bees into what, now?
they made a fucking sequel? of a film based on a true story which couldn't have a more terminal ending if it tried?

Yeah.
Different people, they all jump off their boat to go swimming but forget to put the ladder down, they then spend the rest of the film squabbling, failing to get back into the boat and either getting killed or killing each other (there are 4 in this one), as before none of them are likeable.

It was also ruined for my by the fact that given their resources I could have been back in that boat in about 10 minutes.

Erm, surely the boat was anchored or something?
Anchor rope. Climb. Job done.
