A man in Florida recently broke the record for the longest time spent living underwater.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, US Navy veteran Joe Dituri announced that he had spent 73 days in a habitat under the sea, and he plans to spend a total of 100 days deep below in the name of science. “I’m humbled that my curiosity for discovery has led me here. My goal from day 1 has been to inspire—not only for generations to come—but for scientists around the globe who study life undersea and how the human body functions when in extreme environments,” Dituri wrote.
The biomedical engineer, who is an associate professor at University of South Florida, has been documenting his experience on Instagram and YouTube, sharing his day-to-day existence underwater with viewers. Dituri has been living in Jules’ Undersea Lodge, a steel and glass habitat 30 feet below the surface of a lagoon in Key Largo, Florida.
