I saw the original in the theater 36 (!) years ago and saw the special
edition years ago as well. The 4K is really not gonna do me any good but
since Disney+ is free still I’ll add it to my watchlist.
By the way, whoever wrote the article is a complete moron. This footage
wasn’t removed from the original. It wasn’t ever created in the first
place. Much of it is giant CGI waves attacking the beaches.
Now what I really want is the extended version of THE DEEP, which runs
something like an hour longer. But I’ve only ever seen it panned and
scanned on TV.
I couldn't find it on the gray. So after a few minutes searching I
just decided to copy the description over from IMDB. It sounds like
in addition to adding extra material they also removed some (shots of Jacqueline Bisset in a t-shirt being an obvious example that might get removed for a TV network.) Seems like much of it is filler that won't
add much to the story.
The version aired in the original ABC network telecast contained 53
minutes of extra footage that were not shown in the theatrical
production. This version was broadcast over two nights in early 1980.
The additional material includes:
When the film starts, it begins with a two and a half minutes
prologue of the munition ship going down in the storm, whilst a young
Adam Coffin is on board. There is also a title card, claiming the film
has been "edited for television." In the morning after, a young Romer
Treece finds Coffin barely alive, covered by a piece of debris.
The opening scene includes an extra shot of Gail being pulled by
an unseen eel.
In addition to the extra shot, this version omits many of the
"money shots" of Jacqueline Bisset's t-shirt.
There is added ADR of David asking Gail if she's really alright,
once the two are back on the boat.
In the same scene, the shot wherein the two examine the medallion
is from a new angle.
When the two get back to the island, Gail goes and takes a quick
rinse of the salt water, though her line referencing it, heard in the theatrical cut, is deleted. This scene goes on to show more footage of
David and Slake discussing the events of the morning. The scene ends
with David and Gail going to the elevator.
A new scene after David and Gail are in the library, where the two
go to see the librarian (spoken of in the theatrical version), where
the librarian reveals that Treece has been on every Bermuda wreck,
that Treece is a very secretive person, and warns the two that people
on St. David's Island are not very friendly.
Longer scene of David and Gail's journey to St. David's Island.
This includes padded footage of the two on motor-scooters, and David
asking Gail if they have the right directions.
When David and Gail arrive at Treece's lighthouse, they search the
area, find artifacts from the sea, and ponder whether Treece is even
at home, only to be startled by Kevin, threatening the two with a
rifle before letting them see Treece.
After the first visit with Treece, there is an extra shot of him
in his library.
The Haitian motor chase is much longer, providing a more gritty
feel, before the kidnapping. This scene includes different angles, and
close ups of David and Gail's feet as they helplessly pedal.
An extra shot of the Haitian car taking David and Gail to Cloche's hideout.
The scene where Cloche searches David and Gail has been highly
edited, save for a few new moments at the end when Cloche forces David
and Gail back into their blindfolds, and warns them not to go to the authorities, telling them instead to forget the whole thing ever
happened.
Extra establishing shots of the scene that introduces Coffin.
In the scene on the water, when Treece and David argue the
morphine, the end has included a shot of Gail storming out of the
cabin.
The argument between David and Gail in their cabin is longer; They
are writing postcards, and start to discuss how stupid 'games' on T.V.
are. This leads to the argument that we start the scene with in the theatrical cut.
Whilst diving at night, David and Treece discuss Adam, and why
he's not to be trusted, including his 'story' and history, and why
Treece doesn't let Adam dive with them. Later, the scene extends even
more, showing us Treece's knowledge of the sea, and we learn a little
bit about his own history.
A small scene has been added with Gail at the hotel restaurant, alone,
whilst David and Treece are diving.
A plethora of extra footage of David and Treece diving has been added, including underwater scenes, and scenes inside the shipwreck.
After Treece and David get done diving, Cloche's men, in a speedboat,
taunt the two, by circling them. The line heard in the ship "The
biggest moray eel I ever saw" is heard in full form here as well.
Was released in Germany as a 35-minute selected scene edition in
Stereo and Scope.

Too bad my brother isn't still around to see this.
:(
I saw the original in the theater 36 (!) years ago and saw the special edition years ago as well. The 4K is really not gonna do me any good but since Disney+ is free still I’ll add it to my watchlist.
By the way, whoever wrote the article is a complete moron. This footage wasn’t removed from the original. It wasn’t ever created in the first place. Much of it is giant CGI waves attacking the beaches.
Now what I really want is the extended version of THE DEEP, which runs something like an hour longer. But I’ve only ever seen it panned and scanned on TV.

I don't understand this. I went to watch this last night and the only version on Disney+ has a 2:20-minute runtime, which is the runtime of the original theatrical release according to IMDb, Grok, and the old DVD sitting on my shelf. If a half hour of extra footage was added, it should be 2:50 minutes.
The link above takes you to the BluRay release, which also is labeled as 2:20 minutes.
WTF?

I think I may have gotten it wrong.
This is the listing on The Futon Critic:
DISNEY+ FEATURE FILM SPECIAL
Air Date: Friday, April 11, 2025
Time Slot: 3:01 AM-4:00 AM EST on DISNEY+
Episode Title: "The Abyss 4K (Streaming Premiere)"
It looks I assumed, incorrectly, that this was the "special edition,"
since the 4K version of the original edition is not new. Sorry for
misleading people.
