>>If both die, how could anyone have written the plot and ensuing dialogue?<<I don't understand your objection. At no point was Open Water being told in flashback. Most fiction is written from the point of view of an omnipotent observer.
>>And how they reacted, her taking the plunge<<
That seemed to me to be a horrible but believable decision. Given that rescue was unlikely and since the sharks probably wouldn't have left her alone long enough to die a slow agonizing death from dehydration, her options were either to be ripped apart by sharks which would be unimaginably painful or a relatively easy death by drowning. For a real world analogy consider the unfortunates in the World Trade Center who were above the level of the airplane crashes. Many decided to leap to their deaths rather than wait for the fire to kill them.

if indeed it ended that way. It should therefore be classified as fiction, and not based on a true story. Unless all that is "based on the true story" is people being left behind.
I think most people interpret "based on a true story" to mean that the story has some basis in real events but isn't a factually correct documentary. For more on the real event that inspired the movie see the link below.
from "forensic" clues. Notice the actors resemble, slightly , the real couple. Slightly.
