Since my 1st underwater breath holding experiment, I have been wanting to do a better and more controlled timed test. Instead of using 2 cameras / POV's I use only my underwater camera, so bare with the above water audio quality but nonetheless, you can hear me and see me just fine. I explain what i'm doing as I think I need to do an above water test to see just how long I can hold my breath in a non "stressful" or pressure environment". I use my cellphone to time myself I am able to hold my breath for 63 seconds. I am actually very surprised by this. So now that we know what my above water time is, I take you beneath the surface and do 3 different tests to see how long I can hold my breath. I have rigged a much better apparatus under the water so I am not having to wrestle with the fact that I float. With each breath, I put my body in a different position/depth as I am still learning where the right place for the bar beneath is best for me to use as little energy as possible to hold my breath the longest. I actually do not have an underwater timer, so I will let you tell me how long I held my breath for on each attempt but when I do surface after the 3 tests, I am pretty confident I did not get anywhere near my above water time. I also do another above water timed test just to be sure my initial time was accurate and it was. I do think looking at a timer helps my inner competition vs just hoping for the best. I'm hoping you would like to see me do more of these tests before I must avoid the water for a few months due to another major inner ear surgery.
