Joseph Dituri set the record on his 74th day at a lodge situated at the bottom of a 30ft-deep lagoon and plans to stay 100 days
A university professor broke a record for the longest time living underwater without depressurization this weekend at aJoseph Dituri’s 74th day residing in Jules’ Undersea Lodge, situated at the bottom of a 30ft-deep lagoon in Key Largo, wasn’t much different than his previous days there since he submerged on 1 March.– ate a protein-heavy meal of eggs and salmon prepared using a microwave, exercised with resistance bands, did his daily pushups and took an hour-long nap.
But Dituri isn’t just settling for the record and resurfacing: he plans to stay at the lodge until 9 June, when he reaches 100 days and completes an underwater mission dubbed Project Neptune 100. “The record is a small bump and I really appreciate it,” said Dituri, a University of South Florida educator who holds a doctorate in biomedical engineering and is a retired US naval officer. “I’m honored to have it, but we still have more science to do.”
