Tempting Fate: The Deep's end up on a lifeboat at sea with no food and waves pounding them. Billy says aloud that it can't get any worse than this, right? But then lightning appeared, thunder boomed, and then heavy rain poured down on them.

Artistic License – Biology: One of the covers depicts the giant seagulls from the book with eagle-like talons, instead of the duck-like feet real seagulls have. This may be part of their mutation, but the book never says so.

And Another Thing...
 Deep Trouble II / int_2b78c29d
comment
And Another Thing...: Dr. Ritter and his henchmen are on a dinghy and see Dr. D's boat tilting dangerously in the water, and came by to investigate. After boarding their boat, they meet Dr. D, and he assures him that everything is fine. Dr. Ritter and his men begin to go down the ladder to their tied up boat, but Dr. Ritter stops to ask the Deep family if they've seen anything strange in the waters lately. Unfortunately, Billy takes that chance to tell him the truth, which was a big mistake.

Harpoon Gun: Mel grabs one of these to use on the Deep's as they are escaping, and he almost hits Dr. D, but it very nearly misses him. As they board the lifeboat, Dr. Ritter grabs the gun himself and tries to shoot them, but a gull's large wing bumped his arm, knocking the gun into the water.

Covered in Gunge: Dr. D gets trapped under an enlarged snail that ate the special plankton, and he almost gets suffocated under there. Billy and Sheena manage to slide the big snail off of him, to which they find Dr. D covered from head to toe with sticky white goop from the snail's underbelly.

"Be Quiet!" Nudge: Dr. D does this twice to Billy when he keeps talking about the giant animals to Dr. Ritter. Both times, he fails to understand why he's doing this to him. Unfortunately, he realizes too late, that this gives Dr. Ritter enough information to understand that He Knows Too Much.

What Happened to the Mouse?: When the Deep family get back on their boat, they find Dr. Ritter there, but neither Mel nor Adam are with him. When they ask him what happened to them, he replies that's none of their business. Later, he admits that he tested his plankton on Mel last night, which turned him into a fish. He never reveals what happened to Mel.
