A man lives underwater

19-05-2023 07:00

Joseph Dituri is a university professor. He breaks a record. He stays underwater for 74 days.

Dituri stays at a lodge in Florida, United States. The lodge is 9 meters underwater. There is no technology which lowers pressure. Dituri wants to see what happens with his body. He eats a lot of protein. He exercises every day. He has online classes with 2,500 students. These students study marine science.

Dituri stays at the lodge since March 1. He already spends the longest time underwater. But he wants to stay there until June 9.

Difficult words: lodge (a small house), pressure (the force with which water presses objects in water), marine science (the study of life in the ocean).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What was the purpose of Dituri's stay underwater?
