Florida professor breaks record for time spent living underwater
By Madeline HalpertBBC News
A US researcher has broken the World Record for the longest time spent living underwater without depressurisation.
Joseph Dituri has spent More Than 74 days at the bottom of a 30ft-deep lagoon in Key Largo , Florida.
And he does not have plans to stop yet. On Sunday, He Said he would stay in Jules' Undersea Lodge for at least 100 Days .
" The Curiosity for discovery has led me here, " He Said .
" My goal from Day One has been to inspire generations to come, interview scientists who study life undersea and learn how the Human Body functions in extreme environments, " he added.
The previous World Record for most days spent living underwater at ambient pressure - 73 - was established by two professors in 2014 in the same Key Largo lodge.
Unlike a submarine, The Lodge does not use technology to adjust for the increased underwater pressure.
Prof Dituri - who goes by the nickname Dr Deep Sea - began his journey on 1 March at Jules' Undersea Lodge, a small room that sits at the bottom of a lagoon in the Florida Keys .
It is named after Jules Verne , who wrote the well-known sci-fi book 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea .
For The Project , called Project Neptune 100, the University of South Florida professor is studying how the Human Body reacts to long-term exposure to extreme pressure.
Researchers are studying the 55-year-old's health, as well as the psychological effects of being isolated and confined for so long, by running a series of medical tests.
But his time underwater has not kept him from his professorial duties. Prof Dituri - who also served in the Navy for 28 years - is teaching his Biomedical Engineering classes online while he lives in The Lagoon , according to the University of South Florida .
To keep busy, The Professor wakes up at 05:00 each day to exercise. He stays full by reportedly eating protein-heavy meals such as eggs and salmon that he can keep warm with his microwave.
And while his underwater stay has proven ground-breaking, he is excited to get back to some above-ground activities.
" The Thing that I miss The Most about being on The Surface is literally The Sun , " he told the Associated Press .
