The film focuses entirely on the biological study of the Great White Shark. There is no presence of queer identities or non-cisnormative subtext within the narrative.

The crew and divers are almost exclusively male, reflecting a traditional 1970s gender hierarchy. The film lacks female agency, framing exploration through a strictly masculine lens.

While the expedition travels through South Africa and Australia, the human focus remains on the Western crew. The representation is largely homogeneous and centered on a Western perspective.

The film follows a Western framework of man versus nature. It depicts the pursuit of an apex predator as a standard quest for knowledge and sport.

There are no characters featuring visible or invisible disabilities. The narrative does not engage with neurodivergence or physical impairment.
