Garry Matheny, veteran BBFI missionary to Romania and US Navy veteran, has produced a movie based on his experience as a US Navy Saturation Diver in Soviet Union territorial waters during the Cold War. The movie was recently picked up by Christian Cinema and can be watched online.
Here is the official description of the movie:
God & Spies is about a young man who reluctantly enters the navy and becomes a diver to please his father but later finds himself in the most dangerous spy mission of the Cold War. Though he had trusted Christ for salvation he still wanted to decide on what to do with his life and making the dive had become an idol to him.
Operation Ivy Bells involved two nuclear submarines and 21 US Navy saturation divers. Only eight of the divers would make the dives. They each were jockeying for a chance to be chosen. This film involves the betrayal of the operation to the Soviets, their response, the dangers involved, and the impact this operation had on the Cold War.
