Freedive Maldives opens application window for state-owned enterprise (SOE) clubs to join the upcoming freediving world record attempt.
The world record attempt by Freedive Maldives, dubbed "Neyvaa 2", aims to win the Guinness World Record title for the "most number of people performing static apnea simultaneously."
The event will be hosted by the organizer in collaboration with Ministry of Tourism, and comes under the planned activities commemorating the Golden Jubilee of Maldives Tourism.
Prior to the event, pre-diving training sessions will be held for the members participating from SOE clubs.
Interested SOE clubs must forward filled applications by August 10, 2022. Interested applicants can contact Freedive Maldives at 9988770 or forward applications at [email protected] before the deadline.
"Neyvaa" which translates to 'breath' in English, resonates with the concept of static apnea which is a diving practice where divers hold their breath under water while floating on the surface.
Meanwhile, a total of eleven resorts have participated in the event alongside some government entities. The free-diving world record attempt is primarily focused for tourist resort participation.
Freedive opened application for SOE clubs after members expressed interest to participate in the event.
The event will take place at the lagoon of Crossroads Maldives, situated in Male' atoll.
Back in 2019, Freedive Maldives held the debut event "Neyvaa" which earned the Guinness World Record for the "most number of people free diving simultaneously"
The debut event reportedly had over 520 participants taking up the challenge of diving with gears.
"Mihaaru" is the official media partner of the upcoming free-dive event.
