* The confrontation in the chemical stores between the Doctor's party and [[Sauvix]] plays out a bit differently compared to the televised version. Preston shoots one of the cylinders with her blaster-rifle as she dies, rather than [[Bulic]] attacking Sauvix with the [[Hexachromite gas]] as in the broadcast story. | * The confrontation in the chemical stores between the Doctor's party and [[Sauvix]] plays out a bit differently compared to the televised version.

* While the novelisation ends on a similarly bitter note, the Doctor recognises that there will be other survivors hiding throughout Sea Base 4. Bulic will have to assume command of the base while the TARDIS is repaired and explain to their rescuers what transpired. | * While the novelisation ends on a similarly bitter note, the Doctor recognises that there will be other survivors hiding throughout Sea Base 4.

* Some of the character descriptions do not match how characters appeared on screen: [[Vorshak]] is described as dark-haired and Karina as oriental. | |||
* It is specified that the marine guards normally function as radiation crew, explaining their uniforms. | |||
* The character of [[Paroli]] is omitted entirely, with some of his role being given to various unnamed guards. | |||
* It is made clearer that on screen that Vorshak is shot while shielding the Doctor. | |||
* Vorshak is referred to as sitting in a command chair, whereas on screen he tends to stand. | |||
* The Doctor is said to remove his disguise after surrendering his gun to Vorshak, instead of remaining in a guard's uniform until the end of the story. | |||
* The Doctor turns off the UV converter when the Sea Devils turn up instead of it being shorted out. | |||
* The humans' weapons can harm Sea Devils by striking the unarmoured portions. | |||
* Turlough is given a dead guard's gun during the Myrka's first attack, rather than wrestling one from the sergeant. | |||
