Must See The man who was underwater for 100 days never saw the sun.
With a depth of 9.14 meters in the Key Largo river, Dr. Joseph Dituri, a university professor from Florida, set a new record for the person who spent the most time underwater.
After swimming in the water, a professor spent more than 100 days underwater. On March 1, he moved his head for the first time since March 1 to look at the sun.
Dr. Joseph Dituri broke a record on Friday when he went underwater at Jules' Undersea Lodge, which is 9.14 meters deep in the Key Largo River. Florida as a state.
Two teachers from the state of Tennessee who spent 73 days, 2 hours, and 34 minutes underwater in this river in 2014 were passed by the medical researcher.
Jessica Fain and Bruce Cantrell spent 73 days in the river, but Dituri was able to do more than them.
Dituri said, "I don't care about showing off my skills."
"I'm more interested in showing how long a person can stay under water, how he can stay in one place, and how he can stand a mullali."
Dituri, who is also known as "Dr. Deep Sea," teaches at the University of South Florida. He has a PhD in Biomedical Engineering and is a former Navy SEAL.
The Guinness Book of World Records posted Dituri's name on their website last month after he spent 74 days underwater.
The Marine Resources Development Foundation, which owns the water, will ask the book to call him Dituri because he was brave enough to stay underwater for 100 days. This is what the foundation's head, Ian Koblick, said.
Project Neptune 100 was the name of the plan.
The center paid for Dituri's project, which was called Project Neptune 100.
Dituri did not make conditions in the water country that were like those in the hills like the navy does.
The goal of the program is to learn how the human body and mind respond to difficult situations. This will help researchers and astronauts in their future work.
Dituri used to test and measure his body every day while he was at the bottom of the water for three months and nine days. He did this to see how his body changed during that time.
He also met thousands of students from 12 countries online, taught at the University of South Florida, and had more than 60 people come to visit him.
"Meeting about 5,000 students and hearing them talk about how important it is to protect the underwater environment made me happier than anything else," said Dituri.
Dituri plans to talk about the results of his work, which he calls Project Neptune 100, at the World Extreme Medicine Conference in Scotland in November.
