Law enforcement sources tell us … the man was a diver who was working on a water scene in a tank on the Los Angeles set … when something went wrong.

We’re told someone on the crew called 911 to report a medical emergency … and when responders arrived to the scene the man was in full cardiac arrest.

He was helicoptered to a nearby hospital, but EMTs were unable to restart his heart on the flight. Law enforcement sources tell us he was pronounced dead at the hospital.
