Ironing and diving are certainly not the most logical of combinations (something about water and electricity); but I am looking for 60 divers who are keen to break a world record (or two).
On June 18th/19th is Dive 24, a sponsored 24 hours of dive events for Mencap. All divers will be expected to raise a minimum of ? 50 in sponsorship. Instead of doing the usual options, and prompted by a club member, I am trying to do something unusual!
There are 2 world records for underwater ironing and I am looking for 60 divers to smash these records. The first record is for 43 divers in the water simultaneously ironing, the second is extreme ironing at 50 meters.
The first record is currently held by Australia and has always resided in the Southern hemisphere, let?s bring it North! The second record is held by a team of divers from Severnside BSAC club in Bristol; lets pull the record down to 60 meters!
So if you are qualified to the appropriate depth and / or gas and are willing / mad enough to join me and hopefully 59 other divers then send me an e-mail to: <a href="mailto:spare.computer@btinternet.com">spare.computer@btinternet.com</a>.
I would be aiming to complete these records in the NDC at Chepstow in the morning. If I get enough interest I will lobby the NDC for free admission. If anyone has any contacts for Ironing boards, irons or the NDC please get in touch.
Please register your interest at: <a href="mailto:spare.computer@btinternet.com">spare.computer@btinternet.com</a>, stating your name, phone number and dive qualification. Many thanks.
