From King’s Birthday Monday with Anna Thomas, 10:30 am on 5 June 2023

Joseph Dituri has spent 95 days in a metal cabin just off the coast of Florida, 9.1m below the ocean's surface.

The biomedical engineer has smashed through the previous record of 73 days spent underwater without depressurisation.
