How long can you stay under?

[Mermaid Holly]

If you're looking to get better, take a freediving class and train under an instructor who can guide you along, help you stretch and prep properly and solve problems with your technique. As Derek says, everyone's capable of 3 minutes or longer; just stay safe and never practise in water alone.

I was a pretty decent freediver and hold an AIDA 3 cert, but I'll spare you my PB as that part of my life is over for now.

That sound awesome!!!! I would LOVE to take a freediving class, both to improve my breath hold, and to possibly help me get over my tiny fear of open water. I'll probably wait until I'm older and can actually afford it XD. (still a teen :P)

Glad to help, Holly! I'm sure there're freediving coaches near you; and not to worry, you've still got plenty of time.
