A German man spent 120 days underwater

German Rüdiger Koch went into his underwater building as an ordinary engineer, but came out a Guinness Book of World Records record holder.

He spent 120 days in his capsule. The capsule in which Koch lived was off the coast of Panama at a depth of 11 meters (36 feet).

It had most of the trappings of modern life: toilet, TV, computer, Internet, even an exercise bike, the Guardian writes.

Electricity on the underwater capsule was generated by solar panels.

His life underwater was filmed by four cameras to gather evidence that he never left the capsule.

“It was a great adventure, and now that it’s over, there’s actually a sense of compassion. I really enjoyed my stay here,” Koch said.

The previous record belonged to an American who lived in an underwater cabin for 100 days.
