US professor breaks record for longest time living underwater

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 a Florida Keys lodge for scuba divers.

Joseph 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.
