What's Next?

Over the past few years WRDMalta has organized a series of world record breaking dive events based on saturation and endurance diving for which we have received record achievements and recognition both by Guinness World Records as well as by the Malta National Records Office. However, the WRDMalta team strongly believes that “you are only as good as your last game”, therefore we always strive to improve our achievements and exceed further.

For this reason we are not only planning to break our own personal record of 36 hours underwater without breaking the surface, but we are also aiming at breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest warm water dive (48 hours 8 minutes & 17 seconds), whilst pushing the benchmark further to a 60 hour total dive time.  This event will take place on the 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th October in collaboration with Starfish Diving School, the Corinthia  Hotel - St.George's Bay and The Marina Hotel - Corinthia Beach Resort.

Throughout the record event, our lead diver Sean McGahern will be submerged for a duration of 60 hours during which he will be accompanied by the World Record Diving Malta safety diver team as well as by a number of divers from the St. John’s Rescue team. The divers will spend a large amount of their time underwater doing a clean-up of the sea bed (collecting any debris which has not yet developed into a home to any marine life) as a means of promoting environmental awareness. We would like to wish a big welcome to all the new divers who have joined the team for the upcoming event - it's great to have you on board!

Apart from team meetings and training which will begin shortly, we are currently super busy working very closely with our above mentioned sponsors as well as Apeks, Aqualung, Whites Drysuits and M&A Diving Supplies (who have constantly shown extreme support during our past events) in order to organize this event and bring something innovative, new and exciting to the table for Malta. More details to follow in the not so distant future!!

Finally, World Record Diving Malta is ecstatic to announce our new sponsor for 2013: PREMIER DIVING EQUIPMENT in partnership with THERMALUTION. Welcome on board from all of us at World Record Diving Malta!!
