Cyprus breaks Guinness World record for underwater human chain

Cyprus has broke the Guinness World record for forming an underwater human chain at the old port in Limassol on Sunday. 280 volunteers including organized groups and individual divers took part in the event.
According to Cyprus News Agency, the divers needed 200 volunteers to break the record but only 280 showed up to complete the feat.
The volunteer divers were joined together by holding a rope which was fastened to the dock as they went five metres down for around ten minutes.
According to organizers, the goal of the event was to promote Cyprus and scuba diving.
The event was supported by Flyboarding Cyprus.

The former world record was held by Italy who broke the record in 2015 with the participation of 173 underwater divers on the island of Elba.

Before Italy broke the record, 110 divers broke the record in 2013 on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean.
