A group of divers have attempted to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest
audience live-streamed underwater.
More than 200 divers took part in the in the Eilat Red Sea photography competition over
the weekend to try and break the world record.
Tens of thousands of people across the world watched a live broadcast of the divers via
YouTube as they made a 20-metre dive along a shipwreck, off the coast of southern Israel.
Parts of the competition also includeded categories such as best five photos, fashion photos,
fish of the year and amateur photography.
The crew, which made up of 26 diving instructors, 32 production members and 12 professional
photographers, might be left holding their breath though, as they're still waiting to
find out if the number of live stream views was enough to break the world record.
