SponsorsIn July this year, four diving members of the Scarborough Sub- Aqua Club (SSAC) will attempt an underwater crossing of the English Channel using Seascooters.
This is the first record attempt of its kind. It will establish and set a brand new Guinness World Record.
Money raised is to be divided between Help for Heroes and the RNLI/ Scarborough Lifeboat.
The four diving members completing the challenge are:
Heath Samples, Tom Clark, Darren Spencer and Anne Morrison
All Four Muscooteers will enter the channel at Shakespeare beach, Dover. Splitting into two teams, Team Alpha will remain in the channel for one hour and then Team Bravo will replace them.
These hourly relays will continue until the Muscooteers arrive at Cap Gris- Nez, France setting a brand new World Record.
There will be four RIBS providing safety cover & support with approximately 14-support crew on board.
The record will be based on The Fastest Time to Cross the English Channel using Underwater Seascooters.
The English Channel is the world’s busiest seaway carrying over 500 ships per day. Planning and execution of this Channel Challenge has proved to be a challenge itself! However, the SSAC is well versed and experienced in taking on a challenge of this nature and has over 80 active diving
members.
Otter Watersports, SEADOO, Seascooter UK Ltd, APEKS/ Aqualung, AP Valves, Weezle and Perry Slingsby Systems are all on board as diving support sponsors.
On Saturday July 2nd we are holding a Dinner Dance to celebrate the attempt at The Royal Hotel in Scarborough.
All divers/ non-divers and partners are welcome but tickets are now limited so it’s on a first come first served basis.
There is live music, dancers, solo singers along with a four course meal. Start time is 7:30pm. For individual tickets or tables of 10 (few remaining) please call Heath Samples on 07916 284 990.
