After 13 hours of slogging through an exceptionally muddy seabed Matthew Mitchell, Luke Purdy and Taylor Smith have earned themselves the top slot on a fairly unorthodox world record.
The trio took their converted 1978 LandCruiser – nicknamed the “SeaCrawler” – across Darwin Harbour, a journey of seven kilometres.

Mr Mitchell told Millsy and Karl onĀ 6PR Breakfast despite the terrain, the SeaCrawler performed admirably.
“It didn’t have any issues; we had 31 dives in total and all the boys worked extremely well together,” Mr Mitchell said.
