  Dr. Joseph Dituri, a former naval officer, is attempting to set a new record by spending 100 days in a habitat 30 feet (9 meters) beneath a Florida lagoon to study the effects of prolonged exposure to high pressure. But after a month of the experiment, his team might have discovered something unexpectedly scientific. It is a completely novel species to science "Via video chat, Dr. Dituri spoke with The Independent. "Thousands of people have scuba dived here; it's been here, we just didn't look for it,"  Microbiologists will keep examining the sample to make sure it is indeed a novel species. He hopes to make many more discoveries by diving beneath the waves, carrying out research in an underwater lab set up in a 100-square-foot container, and spending a considerable amount of time underwater.  Despite scientists' estimates that Dr. Dituri may lose about an inch of height during that time due to the pressure placed on his body, Dr. Dituri says he "feels...
