I never tried this, and don't plan to. I like to breathe, and not being able to breathe scares me. Which is ironic, because I love to swim, and also ironic because I fear water creatures like sharks and eels.

How long can you hold your breath underwater?

And mapes is correct, hyperventilating to increase the amount of time you can hold your breath underwater is very dangerous. You get rid of so much carbon dioxide from your bloodstream, you actually run out of available oxygen in your lungs long before you feel the need to breathe. This will lead to blackouts and blackouts underwater = bad.
Hey another diver sweet! I'm Naui and TDI for Nitrox. I'm thinking of going the DIR route since I got the gear.....
