Because of their ability to store oxygen in their blood and muscles, adult sperm whales can stay submerged well over an hour without taking a breath. They have been tracked by sonar diving to depths of 3,900 feet. Equally amazing is how fast they reach that depth; some have descended at 550 feet per minute.

It depends on the whale. But the average dive of a whale can go up to two miles under the surface.
