Cyra Gwynth Recalls Scary Diving Experience: “They Thought I Was Doing It Wrong”
Actress Cyra Gwynth, known for her role in Familie, recently opened up about a frightening moment from her teenage years during an interview with TV Familie. She shared a personal story about the first time she went scuba diving with her father — an experience that quickly turned overwhelming.
“As soon as I was underwater, I got really scared and started to panic,” Cyra recalled. “I gave a thumbs-up because I wanted to go back up, but they misunderstood me.”
In scuba diving, a thumbs-up signals a return to the surface. However, due to her young age at the time, those around her misread her gesture as an indication that she was okay. Meanwhile, she was struggling to breathe and desperate to get out of the water.
This misunderstanding left a lasting impression on the actress, who admitted she has no desire to dive again. “Would I ever try it again? Absolutely not,” she said firmly.
The candid confession highlights how easily safety signals can be misinterpreted, especially with inexperienced divers. It also reflects Gwynth’s willingness to be open about her vulnerabilities — a trait her fans admire just as much as her acting talent.
