Amazing!!! Sail Bunaken 2009 has create a new world record for the largest group dive. Nearly 3,000 divers plunging into the famed waters of Bunaken, North Sulawesi.
The information center of the 2009 Sail Bunaken committee said 2818 people attended the event, but only 2805 people are still under water at least 25 minutes. This is the minimum length of time required by the Guinness Book of Records, whose representatives were on hand to assist the new record. Divers began entering the water at 8 in the morning. By midday, all of them had returned to shore.
Sail Bunaken is a government-sponsored festival designed to promote Bunaken, as an international travel destination. The Government hope that people of North Sulawesi have a chance to learn how to develop their local potential.

That looks like tons of fun. I would love to be part of the world’s largest diving group. I bet visibility got pretty bad because of all the people kicking their fins but still, what a nice way to spend a day.
