The lake was about 10 feet deep where John and his two friends went through the ice. How deep was the lake where John and his two friends fell in? It appears that this spiritual transformation is fictional. However, his religion is never discussed in the book. In the movie, Tommy Shine (Mike Colter) is also portrayed as being an agnostic who finds faith after witnessing the miracle of John Smith surviving the drowning. Tommy Shine himself is never quoted talking about this spiritual nudge in the book, nor does he bring it up with his chief at the station. In The Impossible book, Joyce Smith mentions that something in Tommy Shine's spirit "prompted and almost pushed him to move in a different direction, straight toward the ice shelf." It was "a feeling as though someone were next to him guiding him." Using a ten-foot long pole with a hook on the end, he poked around the rocky bottom of the lake near the ice ledge and found John Smith. This is somewhat dramatized in the movie. Did John's rescuer, Tommy Shine, really hear a voice when he was in the water, telling him to keep searching?
