First.
A professor in Florida who calls himself Dr. Deep Sea has broken the record for living under water.
He passed the current record of 73 days in the same undersea lodge.
And he’s not done. He announced that his plan is to spend 100 days in the deep and will surface on June 9th.
On an Instagram post he wrote, My goal from day 1 has been to inspire—not only for generations to come—but for scientists around the globe who study life undersea and how the human body functions when in extreme environments.”
The Florida undersea lodge is a steel and glass habitat 30 feet below the surface. It sits on seabed legs and is filled with compressed air to keep it from flooding.

U.S. pilot looks to become first Black woman to fly solo around the world
Bonus
Another record in sight.
Leona Serao, a 23-year-old U.S. pilot, is looking to make history by becoming the first Black woman to fly solo around the world.
She plans to begin her three-month journey from New York City in August, and will stop in 33 countries across four continents before returning home.
Flying since 16 years old she has logged over 1,000 hours of flight time. She is also a certified flight instructor.
Her goal in breaking the record is to inspire other Black and African people to join the aviation field. She believes that her journey will show them that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there are little over 158 000 licensed pilots in the United States. Only 4,100, or 2.6% of those pilots, are Black, and only 150, or less than 1%, are Black women.
Congrats to her and I can’t wait to tell the story when she does break the record.
