Yeah, having that hand reach out and grab me would have freaked me out. It's also amazing to me that Harrison is so calm when he dons the headgear and starts working his way out. I'm guessing he'd never been in dive gear before. I would have thought that going underwater and working his way over to the diving bell would have been very scary. The guy on the microphone tells him not to panic but I didn't hear anything to suggest he was even mildly troubled. Maybe the relief of having just overcome almost certain death overwhelmed everything else. I wonder how long the air in that compartment would have lasted? My favorite part is when Harrison appears to be calmly taking a swig out of his water bottle shortly after he was discovered.
