Think that scene was mostly ad-libbed too but not all that sure about it but certainly based on a true event.
I saw that movie in the theater when it was released. Took me more than a few years to go back into the ocean. One of those movies in my youth that had a traumatic effect on me, like "The Birds" which I think about often when I see a bunch of black birds perched together.
