Joseph Dituri spends 100 days under the sea to further his scientific research.
“I’m so good. It’s a crime,” Dituri said.
Clearly, he’s ecstatic to be able to live underwater. It’s been a dream for over ten years.
“It was December 24, 2012 and James Cameron’s team invited me to his house to see his submersible and find its intrinsic value,” Dituri said. rice field.
While there, Dituri said he found something incredible.

“Taking a DNA sample from one of the ones he found at 35,000 feet was a partial cure for Alzheimer’s disease. DNA found naturally at a depth of 35,000 feet was a partial cure for Alzheimer’s disease.” At that point, I said, “There is yin, there is yang, there is disease, there is cure.” It’s all here. “We must live in the sea,” he said.
He said there were some obstacles to getting to where he is today, including the coronavirus pandemic. Trying to break the world record of spending 100 days underwater.
Since he started diving, he has noticed a change in his body. The team discovered a new creature on the ocean floor near his unique habitat.
“My master’s degree is in space engineering, right? So I know a little bit about it. And I teach biocosmology. To go to Mars, it would take at least 200 days. So people Why is the mission 100 days long? 100 days long because we didn’t get funding for 200 days, but we’re doing all sorts of things that are analogous to space travel.”
He said he uses similar training equipment to keep his muscles in the water, as astronauts do on the International Space Station. Said to allow him to spend most of his time living in isolation in the water in order to gather valuable data as he prepares to leave for the Pacific Ocean.
He also said his work could help veterans suffering from brain injuries.
As a veteran who served 28 years in the Navy, Dituri said, “I am honored to have the opportunity to go back to school and pursue a Ph.D.
He said this record-breaking attempt was similar to the work he does with patients.
“I will treat traumatic brain injury with the same pressure as I do now, because it increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor and insulin growth factor, and everything else involved in traumatic brain injury repair.
To make things even better, Dituri added that he can share all this with young kids who might one day want to pursue a career in STEAM like him.
“I was here the other day and I let a 13 year old girl swim. She’s trying, she’s trying, she’s trying to high-five me. And she gave me a high five at that window and I took a selfie here and I was like, “Good for her.” I sent it to the surface and she saw it and started crying. And I thought, ‘No, good thing you didn’t give up. Everyone said, “What if we can’t do it by 100 days?” I was like, ‘Did you see what we did to the little girl? Like I’m done!
