A crew member descends from a house known as SeaPod Alpha Deep, which is located above the underwater room where German aerospace engineer Rudiger Koch, 59, is trying to break a world record 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)
