A South African scuba diver set a new world record after
living underwater in a steel tank for 10 days and surviving by eating
through a tube. Tim Yarrow was (30) cheered by hundreds of onlookers shortly
after 12:30pm on Saturday when he climbed out of the 3 by 2,3m tank, his
home in a Johannesburg shopping mall since November 6. Yarrow spent 240
hours underwater with scuba apparatus in a controlled environment without
surfacing. The initial record was just under nine days and Tim managed
10 days, Greg Wharram, team co-ordinator, said they had contacted Guinness
World Records before the attempt began and now must file papers to make
the record official.
