Five years ago, the laughably acted but viscerally effective Sanctum introduced moviegoers to the terrifying sport of cave diving, in which scuba crews go spelunking in caves and natural tunnels filled with water. In Diving into the Unknown, Juan Reina offers a nonfiction take, following a group of Finnish friends whose expedition in Norway goes very, very wrong. What happens next is a covert action that promises some of the happy-heist thrills of Man on Wire: While Diving never reaches that level of viewer involvement, it maintains enough drama to attract viewers curious about this life-threatening hobby.

★★★★★ "My aim is to stay alive, I don't want to die." A plainly spoken objective from one subject of Juan Reina's equally forthright, compelling and utterly breath-taking documentary Diving Into the Unknown, a stellar entry in Edinburgh's Focus on Finland strand. Being buried alive often tops lists of most feared ways to die but perishing in the glacial water of caves a hundred metres below ground must be a close rival. It is a risk run by a team of daring Finnish divers navigating previously unexplored depths in northern Norway.
