Surface Interval: Discuss Could we all beat a world record in the General Diving Forums forums: Vobster? You are joking. I believe the record stands at 72 divers, not a lot of space to get in ...

Vobster? You are joking. I believe the record stands at 72 divers, not a lot
of space to get in and not much at the same level.

What you need is a large area with the same depth and a really long jetty
etc, where loads of divers can get in at the same time.

Err that will be Horsea then.

Seeing as they are having a few issues at the mo, this might be just the
sort of event to give them a boost.

Ok it's not central UK, but it is central South.

Horsea sounds like a good bet but for a central location how about stoney, we could have divers at various depths, probably don't have to be all in thne same flat area as long as we are all in the same confined body of water simultaneously ironing. I'm up for it... how about if each diver contributed a fiver or tenner to the YD charity.

i was a bit disappointed with the advertising for this as I only heard about it the day before. There would have been 73 otherwise

How's about Vobster! If you did it in Warysbury you could fib about the numbers as you wouldn't be able to tell how many were in the water!!
the viz is only bad if you hit the bottom or have poor finning technique
