I currently hold my breathe under water 1:30 seconds tops.
It has taklen me a while to get that far, but I don;'t do it all the time, but I can hold it and for me 1:30 seconds is long enough for an old geezer like me.

I once held my breath for about 15 minutes. I won't bore you with the whole story, but I can sum it up in two words: "Beer Goggles".

I think a person got filled with tons of oxygen and went under for 11 minutes. But I'm not sure.
