Shark Bait movie storyline. Five friends (Nat, her boyfriend Tom, Milly, Tyler and Greg) are partying in Mexico for Spring Break on their last night. Nat goes to buy more beers and a beggar asks her for money. Noticing her noticing his legs, he tells her a great white chomped down on them. Her friends arrive and despite the man not being scary, they treat him poorly and he tells them to be careful.
The next morning, to recover, they steal some jet skis and head out to sea. After a lot of mucking about, Greg and Nat’s ski crashes into the other. Greg’s leg gets broken and both jet skis are damaged with one sinking. After congregating on the remaining dead jet ski, they set Greg’s leg and ponder their next move. When Nat tries to get phone signal on Milly’s phone, she finds pictures of Milly and Tom among messages discussing an affair. In a bad mood, she fights Tom over it and loses the phone. Tom goes to recover it and somehow finds it on the sea bed.
They realize they’re drifting further from land and begin to panic. Tyler decides, as the strongest swimmer, that he’ll go off in search of help. Shortly after he leaves, the group spot a great white fin heading towards them. The ski is knocked and they all go flying into the water. Nat’s hair gets caught in Greg’s watch and the remaining two watch in horror as Greg is attacked by the shark, dragging Nat down into the deep alongside him. Finally, she’s able to break the watch and escape while Greg becomes shark food.
Tyler is seen swimming and spies a boat. He begins yelling and trying to get the attention of the fisherman whose music is (naturally) too loud. Not too loud, though, to drown out Tyler’s screams after the shark bites him. However, the fisherman is obviously dumb and takes his time looking for the source of the yells because by the time he looks in Tyler’s direction, he’s dead.
