Editorial Review:
DEEP WATER is the stunning true story of the fateful voyage of Donald Crowhurst, an amateur yachtsman who enters the most daring nautical challenge ever – the very first solo, non-stop, round-the-world boat race.
Deep Water Reviews:
Quite Interesting 
2009-09-11 - This is a very interesting documentary about this half crazed man
who had no skills as a navigator and yet he chose to take this
incredible trip.
Anyway though it seems he was a complete failure and fraud
I tend to disagree, in his final hours Mr Crowhurst found truth
in his desperate moment of dealing with final oblivion
he wrote some very interesting entries in his Log
for example he said,
"there is no good and evil only truth"
and
"Man will one day posses technology so advance that he will control the space time continuum and will vanish from the physical universe"
I am trying to see if i can find those log in some Book or something.
Fascinatingly Sad
2009-05-21 - I've now watched the DVD no less than 15 times and the story still intrigues me. It was produced with much attention to detail and effort. Many of the principals of the story are interviewed and tell their parts of the story with interesting perspectives . It is not only a story for sailors, but for anyone who is interested in isolation and the hell it can play with the human physche. My sincere sympathy and gratitude to the Crowhurst family for having the courage to share this emotional story with such honesty.
3.5 stars out of 4 
2009-05-06 - The Bottom Line:
A fascinating and exciting documentary that starts out like Touching the Void and finishes like Apocalypse Now, Deep Water makes occasional errors in the telling of Donald Crowhurst's story (the narration sometimes gives misleading impressions, for example) but you're unlikely to come away from the film unmoved.
History for sailors (and non sailors)
2009-01-27 - This is not a dvd but a document for all sailor who interest in our own history and images.
Real images of the 1st alone around the world "racing" made by the sailors. Including lots of real videos and images from Moitessier and Knox.
I recommend (A+++++).
Las grandezas y bajezas del ser humano
2008-11-11 - ¡¡¡Fantástico!!! Es una historia increible. REAL. Muy bien narrada, buenas imágenes y un final asombroso y de tensión creciente. Lo usaré en mis clases a administradores para revisar aspectos éticos de la gestión de empresas.
No deseo contar mucho del video pues mataría la sorpresa, pero sí puedo comentar que la fortaleza y grandeza de los protagonistas va unida a debilidades humanas que, en la situación inadecuada, cobran un elevado costo.
Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
