Blood n Bubbles - History of Diving in the Movies

Question

The actors who play James Bond come and go, but the 007 juggernaut steams along.

Be it Sean Cannery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton or Pierce Brosnan, most James Bonds have to do at least one underwater scene to be truly considered 007.

In this month's quiz James Bond goes undercover...make that underwater, to fight off a band of evil drug barons. If Bond loses the fight he is probably going to be fed to some hungry bull sharks like his pal Felix Leiter was. This picture was taken off the Florida Keys in 1989, can you name the movie?
