Florida professor Dr. Joseph Dituri has set the world record for the longest time spent living underwater without depressurization as part of a research project in Key Largo.
Dituri broke a record Saturday for the longest time living underwater at ambient pressure, in an underwater lodge in the Florida Keys.
"The record is a small bump and I really appreciate it," Ditri said."I’m honored to have it, but we still have more science to do." "The idea here is to populate the world’s oceans, to take care of them by living in them and really treating them well," he added.for 28 years, continues to teach biomedical engineering classes at USF while in the lagoon.
University of South Florida signage is displayed near former professor Dajin Peng's office on the college's campus in Tampa, Florida, on Friday, Oct. 10, 2014."The thing that I miss the most about being on the surface is literally the sun," Dituri said.
