		<description>Im a Division Champion Swimmer, and our coach makes us do laps (50 meters each way), and we can only take one whole breath every lap. In school she also a teacher, and made us while writing hold our breathe till we could, then wait a minute and do it again.  I started off only holding my breathe for 45 seconds and now im up to 3 minutes,  Long story short, make your lungs full of air about 80%. Then hold the air in untill you start to feel dizzy, then let go. Wait about a minute or two untill your breathing is normal, and then do it again about 3 more times. But dont go more than that. I think itll hurt you im not sure.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>You can't breathe underwater. 

You *can* practice breathing exercises and expand your lung capacity so you can stay under longer. Take long deep breathes for several minutes then go under and trying to stay down longer each time. DO NOT take short shallow breathes and hyperventilate before going under because it can cause you to become unconscious and drown from Shallow Water Blackout. Also, it's best to practice breath holding in a pool with a certified lifeguard on duty.

Free-diving is a very interesting sport where one discipline is static apnea - timed breath holding in a pool (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-diving). If you watched the movie Blue Crush then you know that Hawaiian surfers sometimes practice by diving down and carrying large lava rocks back and forth underwater. Breath holds are important for them because large breaking waves can hold a surfer down for several minutes before they have a chance to come up for air.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Cape Hatteras North Carolina has over 1800 charted shipwrecks, many are in less than 30 feet of water, just perfect for SCUBA diving many on them are in the shallows where it would be nice to snorkel over them.  And some of them are literally sticking up out of the beach.  While you are there be sure to visit Kitty Hawk and climb to the top of the Hatteras lighthouse.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>I would look in the local yellow pages and look for a dive shop that teaches PADI certification office.  They teach the whole course not just how to scuba.  Since you are in Florida you are in the best place.  If you get the money together go to the Caribbean. &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>I think you could get away with just a mask and snorkel.  There are some nice areas to snorkel in Bermuda, and when we went we didn't use any flippers and saw a bunch of fish and other ocean life.   They have some gorgeous beaches, and if I remember correctly it's either Tobacco Bay or Horseshoe Bay that has some caves you can go into on the side area of the beach.  Have fun!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Been to Bermuda on a cruise.</description>

		<description>You can't breathe underwater without a snorkel or scuba gear unless you have gills or a hot tub with air bubbles....You can breathe in the air bubbles! I've stayed underwater for 10 minutes breathing 'em. Good luck.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>you could do it as long as you wear a life vest or some sort of flotation device on your body.   you will also need a mask or goggles. practice in a baby pool or in the bath tub to get used to how the water feels on your face.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;scuba diver</description>
