it does take practice, the condition of the body, how fit a person is and how well their body utilises oxygen is also a factor.
me myself can hold my breath for a munit and a half,i have also benable to hold breath till i pass out without trouble(not recomended).
but for longer periods under water it does help to flush the body with oxygen by inhaling deeply for a period of time b4 becomeing submerged.
just inhale in deep steady breaths(trying not to get too dizzy and pass out,lol) till you are sortof tingly all over and it will increase the time you can spend under water enormously.
but it does help to practice by holding your breath a few times a day, but not till your are uncomforatable.
and doing things like running and other vigourious exercises will also help improve the bodys ability to use the oxygen more effeciently.
