The official Twitter account of James Cameron's Avatar has been sharing hints and teasing looks from the upcoming films since the shooting commenced. The team on Tuesday treated fans with a behind-the-scenes photo of actress Kate Winslet in her character get up, underwater.
In the photo, Kate can be seen dressed in a swimsuit and wearing weights around her waist. While wearing a nose clip, Kate can be seen walking at the bottom of the tank and flashing giant wings or fins across the length of her arms.
For the unversed, the weights are in order to keep the actress immersed at the bottom of a massive water tank during shots, meanwhile, the nose clip helps the actors hold their breath underwater. Talking about her longest breath-hold, Kate had told The Hollywood reporter, "I had to learn how to free-dive to play that role in Avatar, and that was just incredible. My longest breath-hold was seven minutes and 14 seconds, like crazy, crazy stuff."

The details of Kate's character is still under wraps. Her first underwater look was revealed by the team when the shooting began earlier this year. The Twitter account also gave fans a sneak-peek picture featuring Sigourney Weaver while performing an underwater stunt. "From the set of the Avatar sequels: Sigourney Weaver never shies away from a stunt, not even when it's underwater!" read a post on Avatar's official Twitter account.
