I've timed myself up to 2 minutes before. Not sure how much more beyond that I COULD go, but not much without a lot of training. Those divers are just nuts, though. In addition to the pure oxygen, lung capacity, and not eating mentioned in the article, don't they also basically hyperventilate first to super-saturate their blood with oxygen?

Over 20 minutes, is well, almost unbelievable and amazing.

I haven't ever timed myself but I can go a lap, or 2 lengths, of an olympic size pool--so over/back, over/back.

Yet, I kind of cheated by staying close to the pool ground and pushing my feet off of the ground every now and then.

The blood and cells can store oxygen and release it when needed. It takes a certain chemical availability and training to utilize this ability. A structured Diet would also be critical in achieving those results. I'm sure that genetics has something to do with it also to achieve that long a time.
