Underwater ironing postponed

The world record attempt for ironing underwater that was to be held on November 26 at the Peninsula Leisure Centre was recently postponed due to the withdrawal of a sponsor.

Leisure Centre marketing manager Ms Nita Semek said she believed the event had been postponed because a sponsor of the event had pulled out.

Brisbane Water Aqualung Club postponed the event until next year, with a new date yet to be set.

Scuba divers were to attempt to iron underwater at the Peninsula Leisure Centre pool in an effort to break the world record.

The current Guinness World Record is 70 ironing divers.

To break the world record, the club needs more than 70 divers to iron under water.

Money raised from the event was to go to Telstra Child Flight and The Cancer Council.
