Sir David Attenborough Tells Prince William He “Nearly Drowned Due To Faulty Scuba-Diving Equipment”


The veteran broadcaster related an incident early in his career when he was given faulty scuba-diving equipment.

Veteran broadcaster Sir David Attenborough has shared in a discussion with Prince Wiliam that he almost drowned when he was given faulty diving equipment at the beginning of his career. The Guardian newspaper reports that the 99-year-old veteran broadcaster was discussing his latest documentary Ocean when he recalled an incident on a 1957, when he put his first ever scuba-diving helmet on his head. “If this film does anything – if it just shifts public awareness – it’ll be very, very important, and I only hope that people who see it will recognise that something must be done before we destroy this great treasure.”
