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 th
e surface at the end of the two weeks, the divers were reported to be in good condition. Next up: Trailer Boat Tips — For Those of You with a Craving for the Paving...Is your trailer boat itching to hit the road and take you to new places to fish and ski? Boating writers Gordon and Janet Groene
