In part, the Peter Benchley Novel was (based) on a historical White Shark attack in Matawan, New Jersey in 1916. That summer was unusually warm and drew more people into the water. There were several attacks in Matawan creek. The question is, was it a White shark or a bull shark? Matawan creek is fresh water. The bull shark is the only shark that can survive in fresh water. The term "rogue" was used in Jaws. Which means a lone shark feeding in a particular place until the food supply is gone. That was the case in Matawan. There haven't been any attacks since then. A shark was caught at the entrance to Matawan from the Atlantic with human remains inside, and it was a great white. Which to the scientific world doesn't make sence assuming it was the shark that swam up a freshwater creek. Until recently white sharks were rare in the new England area. There have been at least four that I know of tagged in the same area(Martha's Vineyard) that Jaws was filmed. The story of Jaws is not quite as far fetched as you would think. One of the thing's that is impossible is for a shark to explode by shooting a scuba tank in it's mouth. That I do know is impossible. White sharks ARE known to attack boats, cages, and people. They are dangerous! White shark attacks are way more in number on the coast of California vs. New England. I hope this answer helps.
Yes, Open Water is based on a true story. I believe that it was specifically based on the story of two divers named Tom and Eileen Lonergan.
However, there have actually been more than a few cases of divers being left behind by their boats. I have personally seen two of these stories (neither of which were about Tom and Eileen Lonergan) on TruTV and the Investigation Discovery Channel.
It is based on several cases of shark attacks (most of them not by great whites) including those that contained human remains. There are actual reports of sharks attacking boats, although none were sunk as in the movie.
