Listen "Living Underwater, Breath Holding Tricks + Space Llamas!"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Joseph Dituri, better known as “Dr. Deep Sea” set a new world record for the longest time…100 days…spent living underwater, without depressurization. Really no really!
Jason and Peter decided to find out how he did it, and why?
Today’s scientists possess more information about outer space than they do about our oceans which cover over 70% of the planet so Dr. Dituri decided to create a challenging project. He’s a University of South Florida educator who holds a doctorate in biomedical engineering and he’s also a retired U.S. Naval officer with numerous diving and deep-sea awards and accolades to his name. The underwater mission, dubbed Project Neptune 100, was designed to explore how the human body and mind respond to an extended exposure to pressure and confined isolation with the intent of benefitting future ocean researchers and astronauts on long-term missions.
IN THIS EPISODE:
The positive effects of living underwater - lower cholesterol, less inflammation, less cortisol & stress, deeper sleep, and increased testosterone.
The negative effects of living underwater - depression, anxiety, infections, and shrinkage!
Hollywood’s secret to holding your breath for over 6 minutes!
The merits of Aquaman’s superpowers debated.
Reasons the Titan submersible might have met its tragic fate.
Director James Cameron found a partial cure for Alzheimer’s at the bottom of the Marianas Sea Trench.
Why Jason CAN’T visit Dr Dituri underwater.
