Georgie had decided to undertake a PADI scuba diving course to help provide her with handy skills. “I couldn’t complete my licence ’cause I had a bit of an accident – I fainted underwater,” she revealed. “It was on my birthday as well, which is pretty crazy. I wasn’t out for long.”
Georgie added: “I was very ill, I had an ear infection and a cold, we’d literally just flown in about two days earlier, so it just meant that I wasn’t able to do it, but I will be able to finish it because we learnt half the skills and they did adapt a shot, so I could participate.”
Her co-star Skandar Keynes, who plays Edmund Pevensie, relished the opportunity, saying: “It was really fun going and trying something new and pushing ourselves and gaining a new skill that I probably wouldn’t have done otherwise, and it’s great now I have a licence and I go anyway I want.”
They filmed in pools on the studio lot to capture the scenes in the film with proper pool safety protocols in place.
