If you know hyperventalation techniques 30-40sec seems like a breeze. Just because you smoke doesnt mean the rest of us have hindered lung capacity. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I'm in the 100th percentile being a life guard.
I'm in the 100th percentile being able to run 5 miles in under 40min.

I'm in the 100th percentile being able to dive to 50` under my own power.

Well maybe not on the last two.

I have to REALLY concentrate and REALLY be in shape but I have done it...but I grew up in the water. We had a 35' long pool in our back yard in Orlando and when I was 7 or 8 I was able to do a full lap and a half (There Back There) underwater.

My father was a highschool swimming coach...I grew up on the lake. Lived there and worked there for months out of the year. I have and have had a pool and I can swim to the end and back twice. I still cant hold my breath for 2 minutes and I could swim before I could really walk //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Now...I can dive to roughly 25 feet before I have to return. If I had an anchor to pull me up or down that is one thing...but no way. I still dont beleive that you can hold your breath for 2 minues while under water. Its just too difficult and 2 minutes is longer then you think //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

two minutes isnt that long for some people. all you have to do is train yourself. my uncle was in the navy seals and back in the day he was deadly in the water.

I am certified..

I had pretty sweet training too, took I took my classes up at Possum Kingdom Lake and did my open water dives at the Flower Gardens off the coast of Galveston.

So far I have around 60 or so dives and I always pull out the gear when we fish the rigs in the GOM (gulf of mexico). Spear some AJs and Snapper mmm mm!

Justin...I just held my breath for 90 seconds with light hyperventilation before hand with out many troubles. I havent dived since I got my Life Guard certification.

9min is the black out time so 2min isnt even 1/4 that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
