A GROUP of 72 SCUBA divers have ironed their way to a Guinness World Record for the most people ironing underwater at the same time.
The divers pipped the previous mark of 70.
Wetsuit-clad divers marched into the water with tanks on their backs and ironing boards under their arms yesterday morning, as perplexed onlookers lined the shore and the pier to watch the spectacle.
Each diver carried an iron, a board and an item of clothing to iron during the unusual underwater event.
Some kicked out into the water from the shore, towing their ironing boards.
Others launched themselves from the pier and then sank into the murky shallows.
But while the group had the numbers, breaking the record proved a challenge when some divers struggled to sink with their surprisingly buoyant ironing boards.
Keeping everyone under the water, ironing, was another challenge, with several divers bobbing to the surface just when the record looked set to be broken.
Eventually all divers were submerged and at their board, irons in hand, at the same time. A local police officer officiated from the pier, ensuring all divers were down and then re-checking the numbers to confirm a record had been set.
