Swapna Kumbar , Bengaluru - In a remarkable display of skill, coordination, and endurance, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands have etched their name into the Guinness World Records by creating the world's tallest underwater human tower. The record-breaking feat was achieved at Swaraj Dweep (Havelock Island), where a team of divers successfully formed a towering 73.16-foot (22.3-meter) human stack beneath the sea.

Months of meticulous planning, safety preparations, and training went into the attempt, which required divers to maintain balance and coordination underwater while constructing the massive human tower. Guinness World Records officially recognized the feat as the tallest human stack formed underwater, measuring 22.3 meters (73.16 feet).
