Dunno really. I remember I tried to check that once after some "training" and my mom pulled me out after 45 seconds because she was scared.

I've held my breath for 80 seconds before, but this wasn't underwater. Perhaps I wouldn't be able to hold for so long if my safety was actually being threatened.

Isn't it supposed to be the other way round?

Well, in situations like that I panic a lot, so I assume this would impact on the time.

I can get 47 seconds when I'm very calm, but I may get more - I'm just a little bit afraid of diving etc. :(

No idea at all, so I'm just gonna make the very optimistic guess of FOREVER.

That's an impressive amount of time! You should submit it to the GBWR.

So since last year, I checked I got about three minutes and 5 seconds (3:05). I dunked my head again today and managed 3:23 before I blew my top.

Indeed, they suck too much air. Try to bubble it out slowly, it helps as long as someone takes care of you just in case.

No. If anyone had lungs that small they would suffocate themselves breathing. Like Mat said, you're doing it wrong. :P

I once held my breath for two minutes and six seconds. I was about ten years old, so I don’t know if my current breath-holding capacity is better or worse (and I have no desire to find out).
