How long can you stay underwater?
I grew up by the sea. My hobby is catching fish via crossbow. (improvised, so it’s not crossbow anymore.). Among my friends, I was the only one who can hold breath underwater in longer than a minute.
But because I stopped living by the sea when I was in college, I lost that record. I tried holding my breath underwater and I hardly reached 15 secs.
Last weekend, we had a family outing in Calamba Laguna, known as the Province of Private Pools. I gave that name for it has so many private pools along the service roads. I took 3 bottles of beer with more than 1 hour intervals after each one, and soaked myself in the pool from 10:00PM to 4AM. I did breath holding underwater and counted, 1001, 1002 and on… I was able to hold my breath for more than 30 secs. And I improved every time I tried.
Just this afternoon, I get a stopwatch and measure how long I can hold my breath. 40.7 secs.
