Scuba divers from North Yorkshire will cross the English Channel on submerged sea scooters five metres below the water’s surface. Guinness World Records confirmed the team would be the first to complete the challenge. The 34km trip from Shakespeare’s Cliff, Dover, to Cap Gris Nez, France, is expected to take up to 12 hours and is scheduled for July. The divers will work in pairs.
