A university professor broke a record for the longest time living underwater without depressurisation on May 13 at a Florida Keys lodge for scuba divers in the United States.

Joseph Dituri’s 74th day residing in Jules’ Undersea Lodge, situated at the bottom of a 30ft-deep lagoon in Key Largo, Florida wasn’t much different than his previous days there since he submerged March 1.
