London,
(ANI):
Leonardo
DiCaprio
had
a
close
encounter
with
death
recently
when
an
eco-diving
trip
off
the
Galapagos
Islands
went
awry.
The
'Titanic" star
was
close
to
running
out
of
air
in
his
tank
when
he
took
off
after
a
school
of
stingray
and
strayed
from
his
diving
party.
"I
was
trying
to
get
footage
with
a
rinky-dink
camera.
I
looked
down,
because
I
was
exerting
myself
a
lot,
and
I
think
the
tanks
weren't
fastened
properly,
and
I
had,
like
40
pounds
of
pressure," the
Daily
Express
quoted
him
as
saying
in
the
new
issue
of
Rolling
Stone
magazine.
The
actor
was
too
deep
to
simply
swim
to
the
surface,
and
thus
he
took
one
deep
breath
and
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
situation,"
he
said.
