"An Irish diver who is resident in Malta this morning slipped below the surface to try to break the Guinness World Record for an underwater salt-water dive, but he has had to trim his target.
Organizers said 35-year-old Sean McGahern will be underwater for 30 hours, rather than 40 as originally planned, but that will still be enough to break the record, which is 24 hours. The change was necessitated by technical issues.
Mr McGahern is also using the dive to raise funds for the Aquatic Environment Protection Charity he recently set up."
