London, England (CNS) – Singer Katie Melua had to calm her fans down after they became worried about a minor diving accident she suffered during the weekend. She explained that the incident was “all my own fault.”

Fans became concerned after the 25-year-old singer’s collaborator, Mike Batt, wrote on his Twitter account last weekend that “Katie Melua went diving yesterday and had an ‘I’m about to die’ moment when her air supply was cut off, nearly drowning her. That girl!’”

Melua, whose debut album “Call off the Search” reached the top of the U.K. album charts in 2003, explained to her followers that she’s fine after the minor incident.

She wrote on her blog, “I had a small incident with air supply last Saturday. Mike (@Mike-Batt) tweeted about me nearly drowning? the incident was all my own fault. What kind of nutter goes scuba diving in December in a lake near Heathrow airport? I did!”

She said she couldn’t concentrate on her scuba task as she was stresses by the cold and the water visibility was poor. She “choked on a lungful of water” and started panicking when she kept on choking on water. Her diving teacher helped her out.

Her rep told BBC that Melua just “had a fright” but was now “absolutely fine.”
