2 mins 5 secs and 33 100ths.
Freediving's scary stuff, record depth of 209m!!!! I mean, 209 meters-most recreational SCUBA divers have a limit of 40m. 209m, thats more than the height of the post office tower, Thats crazy. |

Holding my breath... not long. You can train at it though. I used to work with divers, they used to practice breath holding all the time. The research station we lived in had a jacks at the far end of a field. The diver crew would hold their breath, walk over for a slash, and walk back and breath. You would catch them at it all the time. There are two tricks, you fill your lungs, then you "sip" more air in. And, when you think you are about to black out, before you start getting those convulsion things, you start exhaling, really slowly. That can get you another 30 seconds, easy. |
