A long time.. very long time

TBH I can't really remember but I used to be able to hold a note on an Oboe for over 2 minutes.

Fool. You = wrong. Humans can hold it and have for 9+ minutes. When your body tells you it needs air, it really doesn't. If you resist it, you won't pass out. Continually doing this (pearl divers) build strength and can do it for many many minutes.

10 sec?

[Hezzy]

[Rbstr]

quite long, i've never measured but i do alot of swimming so it's up there

[starbum]

about 2 minutes here too

[Peacemaker]

I can make it about the length 150ft on one breath last I checked. This is usally if I am swimming a nice gentle pace with not stress. If I really wanted to I could maybe do 200 - 225ish.

A minute and a half, maybe?

Since I play saxophone, I used to be able to hold it for around 2 minutes, but I've learned how to breathe circularly (inhale while exhaling), so I don't really pay attention to how long I can hold a breath.

1.30 minutes, maybe. I'm too lazy to try. But after 2 years of heavy passive smoking (You can choose your family, but you can't choose your friends... yeah...) and zero excercise for 3+ years (bar GCSE PE) makes my lungs about the size of a sock each.

5-6 seconds.
