Open Water 2: Adrift, or just Adrift or Open Water 2, came out in 2006, and contrary to what the name suggests, it's not a sequel to 2003's Open Water. The film's name was used just to capitalize on its success, which made $55 million against a mere $500k budget.
Most of the time, our characters in the film are swimming in an ocean. Although they are on a vacation, they aren't really chilling in the water but facing an accidental crisis that will send chills down their spines by the end. Had someone lowered the boat's ladder they were on, everyone could have survived in Open Water 2: Adrift.
However, only Amy (Susan May Pratt) and her infant daughter survived. Dan (Eric Dane) is also there at the end, but no one can tell if he is sleeping or dead. The rest of the friends died in the water only.
How did Amy manage to get out of the water in Open Water 2: Adrift?
It's ironic; the one with hydrophobia among the group was the last one standing in the aftermath of Open Water 2: Adrift. Everyone was trying to get back on the boat, but it was way too high to climb. Even though it's good that it happened in the daylight, it was of no use.
The real struggle begins in the night when everybody, except Amy and Dan, is left in the water. Dan tries to find a knife the group had lost in the sea, but after an unsuccessful attempt, he gives up. However, his frustration leads him to slam the mask he is wearing on the boat's hull, causing it to break and its lens to pop out.
Now, the group had already tried to use the knife to climb up the boat, and Dan comes up with an idea that is about to give him some blood loss.
In the dark of the night, he wedges the lens into the crevice, which is there from their attempt to climb the boat using that knife. Now he holds on to it and asks Amy to climb up by climbing up his shoulder and the hand that's holding the lens.
After two or three attempts, she is finally on the boat while it's raining cats and dogs. When she was trying to go up the boat, she was putting pressure on Dan's hand, which gave him some blood loss. And now that Amy is onboard, she pushes the button to activate the ladder, which goes down, and Dan can now return.
She visits her infant daughter, who is still on the boat and crying. She spends some time with her baby, processing her emotions. However, after this, she realizes that Dan is still not on the boat. She then returns to check up on him and finds him floating away in the sea.
Nevertheless, at the end of Open Water 2: Adrift, we see her the next morning, thinking about what they had gone through the day before, while Dan lies on the boat with a towel covering his lower body. By the looks of it, he is likely unconscious there or even dead.
