About
Against formidable odds -- and an old-school diving instructor embittered by the U.S. Navy's new, less prejudicial policies -- Carl Brashear sets his sights on becoming the Navy's first African-American master diver in this uplifting true story. Their relationship starts out on the rocks, but fate ultimately conspires to bring the men together into a setting of mutual respect, triumph and honor.

The Burden of a Navy Diver
Captain Hanks
Navy diver, you will stand down.
Billy Sunday
Diver, you will disregard, this is my detail! Goddammit Cookie, move your ass, I want my TWELVE! Nine, a Navy Diver is not a fighting man, he is a salvage expert. Ten, if it is lost underwater, he finds it. If it's sunk, he brings it up. If it's in the way, he moves it. Eleven, If he's lucky, he will die young, 200 feet beneath the waves, for that is the closest he will ever get to being a hero. Hell, I don't know why anybody'd want to be a Navy diver, now you report to this line, Cookie! At ease. Tenders, unhat that diver.
[Hanks signals the other admirals, but they quiet him down; counts as Brasher makes his steps; Brashear finally makes it; sailors help him sit down; sailors remove his helmet]
