Diver spending a week under water
PLEASANT PRAIRIE, WI — Like a lot of people, Rich Henry is going for a swim this summer. But he's not coming up, at least not yet.

Henry hopes to set a new world's record for the longest underwater dive. He sank to the bottom of Wisconsin's Lake Andrea in Prairie Springs Park Sunday.

He plans to stay underwater for a week. He's getting help from a team of 18 scuba divers and about 50 other volunteers for his Guinness record try.

Henry will have more to do than just look at the fish swim by. He's got a recliner and a waterproof DVD player to watch movies underwater

Diver calls off world record scuba diving attempt

PLEASANT PRARIE, Wisconsin (25 July 2005) -- A Wisconsin diver who planned to spend a week underwater abandoned his effort to set a world record for the longest dive Monday as storms moved into the area and a tornado watch was issued.

Rich Henry, 35, sank to the bottom of Lake Andrea in Prairie Springs Park on Sunday, where he had a recliner clamped to a steel platform 15 feet underwater.

But rescue diver Howard Cooley said Henry was forced to leave the lake around 6:30 p.m. Monday after 30 hours underwater, when lightning was seen in the area. Although Henry was safe underwater, Cooley said his support team could not remain outdoors.

Ok, before someone posts it, we've all seen it before. I don't think we need another picture of Warhill's Maneuver on the board. Besides, it was terrible technique.
