Interesting facts
16 Fathoms Deep is a 1948 American adventure film directed by Irving Allen and starring Lloyd Bridges, Lon Chaney Jr. and Arthur Lake. It is a remake of the 1934 film of the same title in which Chaney had also starred.
Production
The film was shot on location in Tarpon Springs, Florida. It was to be shot in Ansco Color, a form of color stock. It was intended to film only some footage in Florida and the rest in California but the footage would not match so it had to be shot entirely in Florida.
Acting as co-producer (as well as playing comic relief on-screen), this was Arthur Lake's only foray behind the camera for a feature film.
