“Maldives have done a world dive record “

HITHADHOO,25-02-2006 (visitaddu.com)- Today, Maldives have done a world record for the greatest number of people to scuba dive simultaneously at the same location.*Total of*989 divers have particpated in this event that have took place at the dive location called "Sunlight Thila". It is about 200m long and about 30 - 35m wide location.

Scuba Diving is one of the major products that attract tourists to the Maldives and as such this event has been incorporated as part of worldwide promotional activities for 2006. Maldives Tourism Promotion Board and Dhiraagu anticipate increased international exposure through this event.
Previous world record for the greatest number of people scuba diving simultaneously at the same location is 722, held by Koh Tao Underwater festival, Thailand in Feb 2005.

In Maldives, there are reefs and lagoons populated by the most stunning array of brilliantly-coloured fish, with each atoll surrounded by a coral reef, and a reef and a crystal clear lagoon surrounding each island.
Maldives is in the Guinness Book of Records for having the lowest highest point in the world.
