A university professor who spent 100 days living underwater at a Florida Keys lodge for scuba divers resurfaced Friday and raised his face to the sun for the first time since March 1.
Dr. Joseph Dituri set a new record for the longest time living underwater without depressurization during his stay at Jules' Undersea Lodge, submerged beneath 30 feet of water in a Key Largo lagoon.
Dituri, who also goes by the moniker " Dr. Deep Sea," is a University of South Florida educator who holds a doctorate in biomedical engineering and is a retired U.S. Naval officer. The project aimed to learn more about how the human body and mind respond to extended exposure to extreme pressure and an isolated environment and was designed to benefit ocean researchers and astronauts on future long-term missions.
