A REAL-LIFE “Indiana Jane” has spoken of the terrifying and “suffocating” surfing adventure she took part in as she explored one of the world’s largest graves.

    Real-life Indiana Jane, Alison Teal, 30, from Hawaii, the U.S., took her bright pink board 150 meters underground to surf with around 6 million skeletons in the Catacombs of Paris.

    It is believed Teal became the first person to complete the surfing expedition when she went underground Oct. 13.

    Teal, who is also a filmmaker, said, “I grew up listening to my father telling me stories about the catacombs on Halloween.

    “We were taken down this secret passage way. It was very James Bond style.

    “We were in the caves for ages, it was day light when we came back up.”

    She added, “The caves got narrower and narrower until we were crawling on all fours to get through. It was so suffocating, there was minimal oxygen and you couldn’t see far.”

    After snapping the stunning shots, Teal and her team were shocked to realize the water level had risen.

    She said, “After we took the paddling shots we couldn’t go back the way we came.

    “We had to go through the water to the other side to get out.

    “In the end we all had to swim through it and there was just a little gap at the top of the chamber to breathe.

    “It was terrifying. I had to stop filming, it just became about survival.

    “By the end we were just shaking.”

    Teal went with expert cavers as guides and warned others not to attempt this adventure, even if you’re a survival expert. She also said that a lot preparation went into this mission.

    This is not the first crazy stunt the traveler has pulled off. The daughter of a wildlife photographer and naturalist has traveled to over 40 different countries across the world and was home schooled — not seeing the inside of a classroom until she was 7 years old.
