A German aviation engineer broke a new world record by staying under the sea for 120 days in order to prove that people could live under the oceans.
Rudiger Koch for a record attempt made a very comfortable experiment on the shores of Panama, 11 meters below the sea. The 59 -year -old man spent 120 days, 4 months in a 30 -square -meter capsule, equipped with modern facilities, including a exercise bike to keep it active toilet, bed, television, internet access.
The capsule had a vertical access pipe when under water, so that the visitors could accompany him under the water. Of course, the fish outside the windows used the capsule artificially reef.
Guinness world records, Koch’s capsule on Friday, January 24, confirmed that the American Joseph Dituri’s Florida off the coast of Florida exceeded the record of living under water in a fixed habitat. Koch said in a statement, “It was a great adventure and now it was over, there’s almost a sense of regret. I enjoyed the time I spent here,” he said: “It was very nice when everything calmed, when the weather darkened and the sea shone.”

The idea of establishing a settlement under the sea has been committed as the subject of science fiction for some time, but it is not easy to implement it without solving logistics problems. Even if the submarine houses are real in the near future, someone will still have to stay on land and produce food without developing techniques under water under water.
