  • Im 15 and ive been freediving/spearfishing for 3 years but really just started practicing my breath holding not to long ago i can get 3mins.

  • Gosh, I hope you're doing those breath-holds with a trained buddy. Otherwise, if they're in-water - you're playing Russian Roulette.

  • Amazing feat! Do you know of any books or website that teaches about free diving and breath holding. I am currently working on free diving and holding my breath longer, but can only do so for about 1 minute. Any ideas?

  • I totally condemn trying to learn freediving from books and/or websites. That's a good way to die soon. Take a proper course with qualified instructors.

  • Yes, that's true if your heart stops beating. But if you take a full breath of air you can last over 4 minutes without your oxygen saturation falling below %80.

  • Hiya Melissa, cheery greetings from Ireland!

    I found your videos by accident several months when I was looking for freediving stuff; with your natural ability & affinity with the sea, you should give freediving a go.

    I don't think there's any doubt that you could become a very accomplished freediver - & if you could fit in the time to train, I wouldn't be surprised to see you in the American team.

    Just keep your smile while you're at it!

    :)

  • Some people find it easier to do long breath-holds underwater. Hydrostatic pressure compresses the lungs, increasing the partial pressure O2 and so forcing more into the blood. Also, less effort is expended holding in that big breath of air. A recent breath-hold competition in Dubai required the divers to be 2 meters underwater.

  • i have video of me holding my breath 4 minutes and 18 seconds and i was deep underwater holding myself down. makes me wonder how long i could go if i was just floating on the top like her.

  • Nice video although its the old record, as you mentioned.

    Thank you for posting the video.
