Florida Professor Sets Record for Longest Time Living Underwater, Reaches 77 Days and Counting

The research project called “Project Neptune 100” is analyzing how the human body reacts to long-term underwater pressure.
Joseph Dituri broke the world record for longest time living underwater and continues experiments in physiology to monitor responses to extreme pressure.
Dituri has been residing in Jules' Undersea Lodge, a 30-foot-deep habitat in Key Largo, since March 1 and plans to stay until at least June 9.
The mission combines medical research, ocean research, and educational outreach, reaching over 2,500 students in virtual classes while underwater.
Despite being confined to a small habitat, Dituri maintains a normal routine, teaching biomedical engineering courses, exercising, and documenting his experience on social media.
