Road to Official Attempt of Guinness World Record for the Longest Human Chain, the Most People Diving Simultaneously and Unfurled Flag Underwater


Cheers from Manado

Here we go!

I officially joined the Official Attempt of Guinness World Record for the Longest Human Chain, the Most People Diving Simultaneously and Unfurled Flag Underwater 2019!

I came to this event with Lampung Corona Diving Club, my club, together with divers from Polisi Air dan Udara or Air and Water Police from Polda Lampung, as well as other diving clubs in Lampung.


welcome to Manado
I am lucky that I can join Corona Diving club Lampung!
It is such a fun team as I have joined since 2012 as my Dive Master, Mr. SInek Kurniawan, taught me how to dive in Lampung.
This time, it is 14 of us.. Om Sinek, Pak Donny, Ibu Tresna, Pak Basri, Ivan, Pak Yusman, Jonathan, Ibu Melly, Ibu Julie, Pak Wahyu, Abi, Marina, Wendy and I. We also have our dearest diving buddies from Lampung Dive Center, Jane, Ali and Andrew.



And the team from Polisi Air dan Udara Lampung and Bhayangkari members are also awesome! The Director, Pak Usman, and team really worked hard for the preparation of the participation od Lampungnese team in this historical event. Kuddos, pak! Thank you so very much for everything indeed.
I have the privilege to share this journey with them!


With Director of Air and Water Police as well as member of Bhayangkari Lampung
We arrived in Manado, North Sulawesi, on August 1st, 2019.
I took 3 days off for this special event and as we arrived, we went to the registration desk as well as the venue of the diving to check things out.
We have to have our own, unique QR code to be scanned in 5 points, starting from registration, getting the tank, dive in, dive out, and returning the tank as well as the weight.
We have to get our gear ready and that includes our BCD as well as other gears needed like mask, fins, weight and its belt, as well as camera if you have it.


the goodie bag
For sure, Manado is amazingly beautiful!
I came here 3 times already and I never get bored at all.
When we arrived the day before the D-day, we enjoyed browsing around the venue to check our designated tent as well as the bazaar where official merchandises, WASI corner, some sponsors' tents and discounted diving gear for those who want to get them. We had some local food and other souvenirs from Manado. It was fun indeed.


The venue of our diving

In total, there are 61 divers coming from Lampung joining this event.

The event was held in beautiful Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, from August 1 - 3, 2019.


Morning from Manado
WASI, Wanita Selam Indonesia, or Indonesan Women Divers, chaired by Ibu Tri Tito K, is the organizer of this event, supported by BRI, Traveloka, My Pertamina, Mayora, and so many other sponsors.

We dived at Manado Beach at Megamas complex in this land of the smiling people.
Officially, 3131 divers were registered!
As for the unfurled flag of Bendera Merah Putih, Indonesian flag, the size of it is 1406 square meter!

We have more than 500 divers breaking the record for the longest human chain and as I said before, 3131 divers diving simultaneously.

Super happy me!
I was obviously beyond excited!
And surely proud to join this once - in - a - lifetime experience !
And coming back to Manado is always pure fun!

This is indeed sweet presents for the 74th Anniversary of Indonesia’s Independence Day on August 17, 2019, as 3 Guinness World Records were now held by Indonesia!

WW: Diving Trip to Tegal Island, Lampung

Cheers from our friends underwater 
I am going to join the official attempt of breaking the Guinness World Records, having 3000 divers at the same time as well as making the longest human chain under water spreading the flags.

3000 divers!
At the same time!
I am beyond excited!

I will join them..yaaay!

It will be held from August 1 - 4th, 2019 at Manado Beach, Megamas complex, Manado, North Manado, Indonesia. The event is held by WASI, Wanita Selam Indonesia, or Indonesian Female Divers, together with many supporters, including one of our national banks, oil company, and more. This event is also part of the 74th Anniversary of Indonesia's independence celebration 

As part of the preparation of this huge event, I joined a diving trip in Lampung recently.
It was one great trip as we saw huge puffer fish and manta or stingray. Watch my YouTube video to see more. 



It was only the 6 of us but it was two great dives.
We took off exactly at 8 AM in the morning from Puri Gading Beach port and we headed to 2 diving spots, white stone and two corners. 


On the first dive, we directly saw puffer fish, giant clamp, and many clown fish or famously known as Nemo. While on the second dive, we were welcomed by even bigger puffer fish and the giant manta. I was a bit surprised when I saw the manta I was literally shout with my regulator on my mouth LOL. My Dive Master then heard me and saw the manta too. I managed to take pictures of it and record it as it flew around.
We have been looking for turtles and we had no luck.

The giant manta..
So, all in all, it was a great warming - up trip before our big event in Manado.
I went to Manado twice already for diving and snorkeling and I have to say Manado's under water landscape is incredible.
Wait for more posts about the event of the Official Attempt here in my blog yaaa. 

Meanwhile, have a great week wherever you are!
