This US scientist decided to live underwater for record-breaking 100 days. Why?

Joe Dituri, an associate professor at the University of South Florida, has begun a 100-day underwater stay in a 100-square-foot habitat 30 feet below sea level at Jules' Undersea Lodge in Key Largo. The stay is part of Dituri's research into how the human body responds to long-term exposure to increased pressure, with the aim of investigating the potential benefits of living in high-pressure environments, such as increasing longevity and preventing age-related diseases. Throughout the experiment, Dituri will be subjected to a range of psychological and medical tests to monitor his health.
