The source is in Dutch,but it's a short form video. Nothing special. Any other sources I could find are in Croatian (which I can't read), like:

This gives me "who can stare at the sun the longest" vibes.

Sure this might have some practical applications, but I wonder about the long term side effects

    aside from harvesting stuff from the seafloor i can't think of any situation where holding your breath for more than 5 minutes is particularly helpful

    but on the flipside being able to hold my breath for 5 minutes would be real neat

    I mean, for spear fishing or doing literally anything under water it's very helpful. I have a friend who regularly spear fishes and it's very important that he can spend a long time at the ocean floor without moving so he can catch fish off guard.
