In a recent statement from the portal PBS News Hourit was reported that Dr. Joseph Dettoria college professor who managed to set a hard-to-beat record of being able to live underwater for the longest time without decompression during his camp stay at Jules Undersea Lodge, the depth to which he was submerged was 22 feet throughout the experience, in the waters of Laguna Cayo Largo .
The new record was set last Friday, and Dr. Dettori has not seen the light of day since March 1 of this year.

Incredibly, Dettori’s challenge was far from easy, as Tennessee teachers had previously held a record-breaking 73 days in the same shelter 9 years ago, in 2014.
According to the words of Dr. Dettoriwas not intended to break any record, but “it was about extending human tolerance to the underwater world and an isolated, confined, extreme environment.”
The well aka “Doctor. Deep Sea” Explorer diver, teaches at the University of South Florida, holds a graduate degree in biomedical engineering, and is a retired US Navy officer.
The aim of the project
The goal of the project was to learn more about how the human body and mind respond to prolonged exposure to extreme stress and an isolated environment, and it was designed to benefit ocean researchers and astronauts on future, long-term missions. During the three months and nine days he was underwater, Dettori performed daily experiments and measurements to monitor how his body responded to the increasing pressure over time.

After reporting on the new record, Guinness World Records listed Dr. Dettori as the record holder on their website after his 74th day underwater last month. The Marine Resources Development Corporation will require Guinness to certify Dettori’s 100-day mark, according to the foundation’s director, Ian Kublik.
Project Dettori, dubbed Project Neptune 100, was organized by the Foundation. Unlike a submarine, which uses technology to keep the internal pressure roughly the same as it is on the surface, the interior of the shelter is configured to accommodate the high pressure found underwater.
finally , Dr. Dettori “The most rewarding part of this is the interaction with nearly 5,000 students and the interest in preserving, protecting and rejuvenating our marine environment,” he added.
The researcher plans to share the results of the Neptune 100 project at the World Extreme Medicine Conference in Scotland in November.
