I enjoy going snorkeling, but i would like to be able to stay down longer. are there any ways that I can increase the length of time i can hold my breath while underwater?
From Mike: Learn to relax and increase your natural breathing reflex. Get the Sports Performance Program. Breath Holding Question: what is the longest that a person can go holding their breath, safely. From Mike: It depends upon their volume and conditioning. Pipin Ferraras who holds the world free diving record can dive down to 435 feet below the surface of the ocean on one breath. This requires tremendous practice and exercises to offset the breath-holding restrictions that it invites. My sense is that he has trained himself to lower his metabolism, heart rate and breathing rate at will. Something similar to what Yogis do when they are buried alive for several hours or days. This takes years and years to perfect.
