KEY LARGO, Fla. (AP) — An underwater researcher broke a record for the longest time living underwater at ambient pressure this weekend at a Florida Keys lodge for scuba divers. “The record is a small bump and I really appreciate it,” said Dituri, a University of South Florida educator. “The idea here is to populate the world’s oceans, to take care of them by living in them and really treating them well,” Dituri said. The outreach portion of Dituri’s mission includes conducting online classes and broadcast interviews from his digital studio beneath the sea. While he says he loves living under the ocean, there is one thing he really misses.
