Florida man resurfaces after a record 100 days living underwater
A man who spent 100 days living underwater at a Florida Keys lodge for scuba divers has resurfaced.
Dr Joseph Dituri, a university professor, has set a new record for the longest time living underwater without depressurisation during his stay at Jules' Undersea Lodge.The diving explorer and medical researcher surpassed the previous mark of 73 days, two hours and 34 minutes set by two Tennessee professors in 2014."It was about extending human tolerance for the underwater world and for an isolated, confined, extreme environment.
Unlike a submarine, which uses technology to keep the inside pressure about the same as at the surface, the lodge's interior is set to match the higher pressure found underwater. Project Neptune is a long-term study which looks at the physiological and psychological effects of compressors on the human body, and it uses"the uniqueness of the mission and location to bring more awareness of current marine research and the importance of conservation of our ocean's resources and processes."
