How long can you last underwater?

I just watched

About as long as I could type without making a mistake or keep firing a pistol without having to reload it.

As long as it takes me to eat a doughnut without licking my lips.
There are some places where native children will dive and get bits of corral for tourists and they stay under water for around 30 seconRAB or so.

They must get them in to coach Hollywood A-listers

I've always been amazed when I've watched underwater scenes as to how long they can hold their breath,and how they can seem to see everything perfectly clearly even without goggles.

Add underwater scenes to the list of really annoying movie cliches...

Agreed, my eyes start to sting if I go underwater in the swimming pool, let alone if I was in the ocean fighting off killer dolphins or something!

It was on that river cottage where a woman could hold her breath for over 4 minutes for free diving.

You should ask Leslie Neilson... he could hold his breath FOR A VERY LONG TIME!!!!
