World Record Attempt by Maldives Scuba Divers November 25, 2005
Posted by Andy Carroll in : Trivia , trackbackThe Maldives Tourism Promotion Board and Dhiraagu Maldives are planning to attempt to break the world record for the number of scuba divers diving one site at the same time. Talk about diver soup!
After the tsunami on Boxing day last year it is great to see the diving industry bounce back. The diving industry is extremely important to the Maldives economy.
From The MTPB website:
Maldives Tourism Promotion Board together with Dhiraagu Maldives is to attempt a new world record for greatest number of scuba divers simultaneously diving on a single site.
The targeted number of divers for this attempt is 1000 inclusive of locals and tourists and the tentative location and time has been set for Sunlight Thila on February 25th, 2006 at 11:00hrs.
Current world record for the greatest number of people scuba diving simultaneously at the same location is 722, held by Koh Tao Underwater festival, Thailand in Feb 2005.
Scuba Diving is one of the major products that attract tourists to the Maldives and as such this event has been incorporated as part of worldwide promotional activities for 2006. Maldives Tourism Promotion Board and Dhiraagu anticipate increased international exposure through this event.
This idea of establishing a world record that is very relevant to the Maldives is been initiated by Dhiraagu, and they are receiving extensive support from the scuba diving community and tourism sector in the Maldives.
