Indians indulging in extreme sport are rare, and ever rarer are those setting records. For two childhood friends, Nishant Patel and Mit Bhatt, both in their 30s, their respective records in diving and flying were all in a day's work. Bhatt has set a national record as the 'First Indian Civilian to Fly Highest and Fastest to the Edge of Space' in a fighter jet whilst enduring maximum G-force, while Patel became the first Asian recognised by the World Record University to set a record for the 'Deepest and Fastest Scuba Cycling Undersea'.
