A loved-up couple celebrated Valentine’s Day in a rather unique way – with the longest underwater kiss.
Beth Neale (South Africa) and Miles Cloutier (Canada) smooched for a whopping 4 minutes 6 seconds beneath the water in an infinity pool.
Their make-out session smashed through the previous record of 3 minutes 24 seconds, which was set 13 years ago on Guinness World Records’ Italian TV show Lo Show dei Record.
The engaged couple, who are both divers and live in South Africa with their one-and-a-half-year-old daughter Neve, travelled to the Maldives to attempt the record at the LUX* South Ari Atoll resort.
They began their attempt at 7.30 am, starting off with some breath hold warm ups and two trial underwater kisses of two and three minutes, before going in for the gold.
And despite all their practise since first coming up with the idea three years ago, underwater filmmakers Beth and Miles admit the whole thing was a lot more challenging than they anticipated.
Beth told us: “Three days before the record I could just not hold my breath.”
Miles added: “We couldn’t even reach the existing record – we weren’t even close.”
