Florida Scientist 'Dr. Deep Sea' Resurfaces After Record-Breaking 100 Days Underwater

Dr. Joseph Dituri, a university professor and medical researcher, has set a new record for the longest time living underwater without depressurization, spending 100 days at Jules' Undersea Lodge in Florida. 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. Dituri conducted daily experiments and measurements to monitor how his body responded to the increase in pressure over time, and plans to present findings from Project Neptune 100 at November's World Extreme Medicine Conference in Scotland.
