WORLD'S LARGEST DIVE Saipan qualifies for world record
The Marianas Visitors Authority received certification from Guinness World Records that Saipan now qualifies to be entered into the Guinness Book of World Records for the World’s Largest Dive.
Martin Duenas, community projects manager for MVA, and members of the Underwater Events Committee met last Thursday after receiving notification from Guinness about Saipan’s qualification for inclusion into this elite circle of record holders.
On April 17, 1999, 215 divers, mostly from Japan, simultaneously participated in what was hoped to be the World’s Largest Dive.
Officials from the Guinness Book of World Records were on hand to record the event.
Divers were issued stamp rally entries for a raffle to be drawn at a later date and the winners are to be brought back to Saipan for a dive holiday.
