Video Description:
http://www.TheBoaters.TV (high res) Episode 49: First up today: A group of six scuba divers from Italy have successfully accomplished their task of setting a new world record for living underwater for two weeks.
They spent 70 percent of their time IN the water, but slept and dined in small underwater rooms that were weighed down to the ocean floor.
Aside from attempting to set a record, the experiment was to see how the human body adapted to a different environment like the ocean.
The ultimate goal of scientists is to one day colonize the ocean. The divers' breathing and blood oxygenation were constantly monitored during the experiment.
The scientists determined that divers were also able to live among the marine life without disturbing the ecosystem.
After being brought 49 feet back up to the surface at the end of the two weeks, the divers were reported to be in good condition.
