Smoothly does it - a team of Australian scuba divers has flattened their way in to the record books for ironing under water, writes the Daily Telegraph (UK).
|
he seventy-two-strong team submerged with all the gear required for their underwater housekeeping: ironing boards, irons - with the electrical cords removed for safety reasons - and their clean linen.

"Extreme ironing" has become something of a cult in recent years, with "ironists" taking their chores to places as inhospitable as the Antarctic, the bottom of a Welsh bog, and in the middle of a go-kart race at Streatham Raceway.
The Australian underwater ironists topped the previous record of seventy participants in their 3-metre (10 foot) deep dive off the coast of Melbourne, south-east Australia, on Saturday.
"It was cold and I think they were bloody crazy," said local councillor Tom O'Connor, who with police helped authenticate the new record.
Debbie Azzopardi, who organised the event, said that the attempt beat a 2005 record set in a swimming pool in nearby Geelong, which had itself beaten a New Zealand group's earlier record.
"I was having a chardonnay a few years ago with a girlfriend, and I thought 'I'm going to beat that'", Azzopardi said.
"We had a few fish going by, and a stingray. It was great,"
There's also extensive write up elsewhere on the web, including the ironist's local paper, the Geelong Advertiser.
