PROJECT NEPTUNE 100: PRESSURIZED, ANALYZED, ENERGIZED!
Biomedical engineer and United States Navy veteran Dr. Joe Dituri is doing science experiments in the sea. He is living underwater for 100 days in about 30 feet at the Jules Undersea Lodge in Key Largo. If he completes his proposed sojourn, he will have broken the record for time at depth in the ocean. Please join SFDI on Wednesday, May 3 as we learn about the effects of water pressure on human subject Dr. Joe on Day #64! Find out more about Dr. Dituri at https://drdeepsea.com/
