Man who spent 93 days underwater says experiment left him feeling 10 years younger

A man who spent 93 days living in an underwater pod says he now feels 10 years younger.

Retired naval officer turned-scientist Joseph Dituri has spent over three months in his 100sqft pod in the Atlantic Ocean. His time in the water was used as part of a study into the effects a pressurised environment has on the human body.

During the process, he also reached a world record for living underwater - dwarfing the previous holder's 73 days, according to the Mirror. After getting back to dry land, Dituri was assessed by medics who measured his vitals and telomeres - the DNA sequence that attach to the end of chromosomes.
