How much time can a human hold their breath?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: Most people can hold breath 30 to 120 seconds. When I was a diver I worked up to 3 minutes but that took me a long time to achieve. The world record is reportedly just over 24 minutes . REF: https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/longest-time-breath-held-voluntarily-(male)
