It's kind of like the Ultra Marathon Cycling Association records. In that case, you pick two cities that are far enough apart to qualify as "Ultra Marathon", get an official to follow in their car and ride. The trick is to pick two cities that nobody has ever done this for. Say Loomis, CA to Henderson, NV. Voila, you're a world record holder. I'm currently planning a deep air record in my backyard pool. I've already done a workup dive to 4 feet, but after studying the bottom contours I think I can get down to 4' 1" over in the corner of the deep end. Bam! I'm a world record holder. I mean, have any of the WKPP divers been down that deep in my pool? I didn't think so. So pick your body of water and call the Guinness people...
