Sub-aqua dining record smashed

Most people night not be aware of the fact that dining underwater is possible. But this is true! Sub aqua dining is not a prima facie, in 1991, 100 people made the world record by dining underwater. A new sub-aqua dining record has been made by an assorted crew of 500 people. TV presenter Adrian Chiles, Nigel Havers, James Dreyfus, Adrian Chiles and Thalia Zucci were among the world-famous celebrities that joined the party.
The underwater dining was an attempt to raise funds for charities like Save the Children, The Shooting Star Hospice, Breakthrough Breast Cancer and The British Heart Foundation. The event raised more than £200,000 ($400,000) for these charities.
The guests were provided with dinner jackets, lung mouth pieces, and ballgowns. The food served to sittings of about 20 people every 20 minutes was jellified to stop it from disintegrating in the water. The diners had to remove their aqua lung mouth pieces, fork in the food and put back the breathing equipment while pressing a button to purge away the water.
The International Space School and 40 expert dive masters from The London School of Diving gave the assistance in the technical aspects of dining and breathing under water that helped diners succeed in their endeavor. In the next couple of days, the Guinness Book of Records will confirm exactly how many guests sat down to a three course banquet.
