Diver makes a splash with record walk

A MAN in an antique diving suit completed the world’s first underwater marathon yesterday.

After a gruelling 12-day journey, Lloyd Scott emerged from the murky Loch Ness in the Highlands this morning after walking 26 miles under the stretch of water.

As he emerged, Mr Scott, 41, from Rainham in Essex, said it had been a hard journey but he was happy it was all over and that it had been worth it.
