It's syntactically correct, though I'm not sure what it means.
*"seprije" is run together. We normally don't run words together unless all of 
them are cmavo.
*The subject of "gasnu" is an agent; you have an abstraction (which is like a 
subordinate clause) there. "le pensi cu gasnu" makes sense.
*Are you talking about thoughts of deep-sea divers?
