From water survival training to diving with sharks, filming stunts for The Meg and Meg 2 - The Trench were a lot harder than anticipated. The actors spent more than a month filming at sea and then shot some intense shark attack scenes in a studio tank.

We take you behind-the-scenes of how these intense water stunts were filmed for both these movies.

Special thanks to Gary Powell for sharing insight on how these films are made.
