Kate Winslet Reveals 'Titanic' Door Scene Filmed in Shallow Tank

During a podcast interview, Winslet disclosed that the iconic scene was shot in waist-high water, with DiCaprio kneeling.

Kate Winslet shared that the famous door scene in 'Titanic' was filmed in a waist-height tank, not the open ocean.
Leonardo DiCaprio was kneeling on the bottom of the tank during the sequence, contrary to the appearance of swimming in icy waters.
Frequent bathroom breaks were common during filming due to the ease of getting in and out of the tank.
The constant water noise in the tank led to major audio issues, requiring the last 22 minutes of the film to be entirely re-recorded.
Winslet admitted to missing the initial release of 'Titanic' due to personal circumstances, only watching it later in a packed theater.
