Fourteen participants created a Guinness World Record for the tallest human stack underwater on Sunday at Swaraj Dweep in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands [1].
The feat highlights the capacity of the islands to host unique underwater events and promotes the region's profile as a destination for daring maritime activities [2].
The record-breaking attempt took place at Swaraj Dweep, a location formerly known as Havelock Island [3]. The group managed to reach a total height of 22.3 meters [1]. Among the 14 participants was the lieutenant governor of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands [1].
Organizers said the event was designed to showcase the islands' ability to facilitate high-level underwater feats [2]. The achievement was part of a larger effort to secure multiple Guinness World Records within a short timeframe, with reports indicating two records were set over two days [2].
The coordination required for the 22.3-meter stack involved precise timing and buoyancy control to maintain the vertical structure beneath the surface [1]. This event marks a significant moment for the local administration and the diving community in the region.
“Fourteen participants created a Guinness World Record for the tallest human stack underwater.”
This record attempt serves as a strategic tourism and branding exercise for the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. By leveraging a Guinness World Record, the regional government aims to pivot the international perception of Swaraj Dweep from a passive leisure destination to a hub for extreme sports and professional diving.
