Scientist Who Lives at the Bottom of the Ocean Claims
the Atlantic Has De-Aged Him
Story by Kate Row • Thursday
One man claims that spending time living at the bottom
of the ocean has de-aged him by almost 20%. Is there
some truth to his claim? More importantly, how does
someone live underwater?
Joseph Dituri is a 55-year-old retired Naval officer
who has dedicated himself to studying the effects of
pressurized environments on the human body. To prove
his theory that pressurized environments can actually
de-age humans, he spent 93 days at the bottom of the
ocean. Yes, he actually lived inside a 100-square-foot
pod at the bottom of the Atlantic. Not only did he
survive the experiment but he resurfaced younger than
before!
Dituri had another mission that he wished to accomplish
as well. In addition to proving his hypothesis about
the human body, he wanted to break the world record for
the number of days spent underwater. This record was
previously held by two Tennessee professors: Bruce
Cantrell and Jessica Fain. They stayed in the same pod
and lasted a total of 73 days. Future blew this record
out of the water, having spent a whole 93 days at the
bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
To track his progress, Dituri had doctors check on him
and conduct tests to monitor changes throughout the
months he spent there. One of these tests involved
measuring chromosomes that shorten with age. Upon
measurement, they found that they were 20% longer and
he had 10 times more stem cells than when he first went
underwater in March.

Interesting post, thanks.
The hyperbaric effect is probably about more than just
oxygen, and this is something like Dead Sea / Death
Valley (both below sea level and therefore naturally
hyperbaric) on steroids. Typical surface radiation is
also absent. I wonder if the quantum state of the
water and substances in solution and suspension also
has a role in it. Sub-sealevel caves on the other hand
may not be so healthy, depending on what gets trapped
and concentrated.
