When I was training and competing as a freediver, I was able to hold my breath underwater consistently over 5 minutes, and my best time then was 6:02

Now that was a couple years ago and I have stopped training and competing. I am so rusty, I can't even make it to 3 minutes anymore. I decided to start training again to get my stamina back, and this is my first attempt at static underwater breath holds after years of hiatus.

I am so used to breathplay with rebreathers bags that enduring contractions has become quite tricky now. It'll take some getting used to again.

This clip features two short breath holds (2 minutes and approx 2:40), shot from 2 separate angles, played back to back fully unedited to show there was no trickery involved.

I am definitely not too happy with these times, but hey, gotta start somewhere. I still wanted to share these so that you can enjoy my progression and journey as I make my way back to 5 minutes!
