Andaman and Nicobar Islands Set Two Guinness World Records Underwater

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands set two consecutive Guinness World Records underwater to promote scuba and eco-tourism. On May 2, divers unfurled the largest underwater national flag measuring approximately 60 by 40 metres. The next day, 14 divers, including Lieutenant Governor Admiral D.K. Joshi, formed the tallest human stack underwater at 22.3 metres, holding the formation for three minutes. Both events were officially recognized and aimed to highlight the islands' diving potential.
