How Long Can You Hold Your Breath?

How long can you go without blinking?

My longest time was 10 hours. I was sleeping.

Probably 45 seconds or less.

I was offered a chance to go diving for lobsters with some islanders in Fiji. The water was about 25 feet deep, and I could barely reach the bottom. These guys didn’t use masks and were down there for 3-4 minutes at a time, and when they came up - usually with a lobster in each hand - they didn’t even seem out of breath. Incredible.

You’ve got to be kidding. You can go youtube free divers and girls who think they are mermaids and see people going 8-10 minutes. Most people can reach 3 minutes within a day if they want to.

Also do you really care enough to request videos?

Hell yeah I’m serious. I’ve never timed myself but I can go for awhile [at least to thers] but who here is an expert diver? 3-5 minutes is a long ass time.

You should invent buckets of water and cameras that operate in non-aquatic environments. Those might be something people would find useful.

Looked this stuff up, and would you believe the world record is 20 minutes?
Sure the guy pumped himself full of oxygen, but DAMN!

Oh, and I only make it to 2 minutes.

This actually made me laugh.

Vegita,

There are people that do have oversized lungs do to genetics that make it EASIER than people without. I’m not saying that the average person cannot reach the potentials that of the oversized lungs. I was simply saying that there are people that have oversized lungs, due to genetics. A person cannot simply train to make their lungs “bigger”. More effecient yes but not bigger.

In that case my record is around 25 hours… Had a bit too much to drink…

I’ll try to tape it for you White.
