German aerospace engineer Rudiger Koch, 59, sits on a chair inside an underwater room off the coast of Puerto Lindo, Panama, on November 26, 2024. Koch, an admirer of Captain Nemo, has been locked underwater for more than two months at a depth of 11 meters to break a Guinness World Record. Surrounded by fish, he intends to prove that it is possible to live peacefully under the ocean. (Photo by MARTIN BERNETTI / AFP) (Photo by MARTIN BERNETTI/AFP via Getty Images)
