DICAPRIO’S DEEP-SEA DASH AS AIR RUNS OUT
LEONARDO DiCAPRIO almost suffered a death at sea recently when a eco-divi ng trip off the Galapagos Islands went awry.
The Titanic star was close to running out of air in his tank when he to ok off after a school of stingray and strayed from his diving party.
He tells the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine, "I was trying to get footage with a rinky-dink camera. I looked down, because I was exerting m yself a lot, and I think the tanks weren’t fastened properly, and I had, like 40 pounds of pressure." Too deep to simply swim to the surface, DiCaprio took one deep breath a nd rejoined his diving group who shared oxygen with the star.
He admits there was a moment when his life flashed before him: "All you think about at that moment is, like, ‘Get me the hell out of this situat ion’."
