mackem 23,743 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Early 90's I stayed with these people in a place called sitangkai, pirates had burnt the hotel down so I ended up staying in a house on stilts on a coral reef, the badjao of old were reputed to come to land only once, upon their death, the rest of the time they live in stilt houses or on boats. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicepix 5,650 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 That's nothing. I've seen American women on youtube speak non stop for 20 minutes without drawing breath. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unlike other performance sports. His bodies ability to hold breath is little different to before he started, he just trained his mind to be comfortable and controlled in the physiological extremes. Its just mental watching them go up and down relentlessly. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I’ve known about those guys for a while. They’ve actually evolved to handle it better. But I think their average dive is a minute or less. Cool experience though.

ArchieHood 3,692 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Thats nothing in comparison.... 56-year-old freediver holds breath for almost 25 minutes breaking record WWW.GUINNESSWORLDRECORDS.COM The record for the longest time breath held voluntarily (male) has been broken with a staggering new time achieved by Budimir Šobat (Croatia) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably the most marine adapted people on the face of the planet, the kids were like little otters, no fear whatsoever of water, my eldest son did a freediving course, he heard of some guy who held his breath for 12 minutes, but archives post above is incredible. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Borr 4,488 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 I enjoy being underwater , my kids are the same, I guess the freedom of it , the weightlessness, the quiet. Anyway I digress , this is a good watch... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But it certainly doesn’t make the world record I posted ‘nothing’. Activity dramatically reduces the time your body can last without dumping the CO2 and taking on more O2.

They've found their DNA has altered and even the women folk whom rarely go in water have the DNA to allow for lower oxygen or water related science thingy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t mean to go all ‘Joe Rogan’, but have you heard of aquatic ape theory? True or not it’s undeniable how adapted humans are to water, compared to other monkeys. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
