I thought it was going to be intricate on how they did the dead water effect test. Nope. Saltwater and regular dyed water with a plastic boat. Don`t try this at home kids.

I learned about this at Milford Sound NZ, apparently it rains so much there that although the fjord is salt water, you would have to go down through three feet of water to get to the salt water.
