    aside from harvesting stuff from the seafloor i can’t think of any situation where holding your breath for more than 5 minutes is particularly helpful

    but on the flipside being able to hold my breath for 5 minutes would be real neat

      I mean, for spear fishing or doing literally anything under water it’s very helpful. I have a friend who regularly spear fishes and it’s very important that he can spend a long time at the ocean floor without moving so he can catch fish off guard.
