Hey, did anyone see this crazy dive? Underwater Ironing World Record Attempt in Key Largo: May 1, 2010
EXTREME UNDERWATER IRONING!
What exactly is it? Originally pioneered by a group of Germans, its taking an ironing board and electric iron (minus the electricity of course) and setting it all up, some- where interesting on the bottom of the ocean and taking the photos to prove you did it. A group of British scuba divers have broken the world record for underwater ironing, braving water temperatures of just 41°F to carry out the attempt at the bottom of a 173-ft. quarry. They each had to iron one item of linen within a 10- minute time limit - and 86 of them completed the task under the watchful eye of adjudicators. The British surpassed the previous world record of 72 set in Melbourne, Australia, last year. Now its Key Largos turn to attempt to hold the world record!
