One of the early things that the director and the picture editor Steven Kemper mentioned was that they wanted to make a character out of the underwater environment. They really wanted to feel the difference between being underwater and above the water. There is a great scene with Jonas (Jason Statham) where he's out in the water with a harpoon and he's trying to shoot a tracking device into The Meg. He's floating on the water and it's purely environmental sounds, with the gentle lap of water against his body. Then he ducks his head underwater to see what's down there. The sound editors switched perspectives there and it's really extreme. This deep underwater rumble, like a conch shell feeling.
