Description:David (Nick Nolte) and Gail (Jacqueline Bisset) are vacationing in Bermuda. They go scuba diving and find a sunken vessel with a cargo of munitions and tiny bottles of morphine — and an old Spanish medallion. They team up with salvage expert Romer Treece (Robert Shaw) to figure out the mystery. It turns out that a WWII ship sank on top of a treasure ship. They want the treasure, but a drug runner (Louis Gossett Jr.) wants the morphine. There's a big underwater fight with the bad guys, sharks and a huge moray eel, but the good guys come away with their lives and the treasure and the drugs are destroyed.
