WORLD-renowned cave diver Agnes Milowka struggled to her last breath to escape her watery tomb, a fellow diver says.

Dr Richard Harris, a friend of the 29-year-old, is part of the retrieval team trying to clear the way for police divers to pull her body from Tank Cave, near Mt Gambier.

He said Ms Milowka, a stunt diver for James Cameron's newest blockbuster Sanctum, had ran out of air and suffocated after becoming disoriented.

"It looks like she has remained very calm right to the very last breath while she has been working to extricate herself," he said.
