PG
Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

The US PG rating cites peril, unsettling images, thematic material and brief language. Divers face blackouts and potentially fatal underwater emergencies; the film also addresses death and bereavement. These are trained professionals working with safety teams, and children should not imitate breath-holding or deep-diving challenges.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
