Watch: Professor Sets Record After Living Under Water For 74 days

A Florida University professor Joseph  Dituri has broken the world record by living Undersea for 74 days.

According to CBS News, Dr Dituri entered the habitat on March 1 and plans to resurface on June 9 as part of ‘Project Neptune 100.’ The previous world record, set by two other professors in 2014, was 73 days.

In an Instagram post, tweet, Mr Dituri wrote, ”Today is record-breaking day 73 living underwater. I’m humbled that my curiosity for discovery has led me here. My goal from day 1 has been to inspire — not only for generations to come — but for scientists around the globe who study life undersea and how the human body functions when in extreme environments. And while breaking the world record is an exciting milestone, my mission doesn’t end here. I have 23 more days undersea to conduct research, engage with learners of all ages, and continue my journey of discovery.’
