Best Answer

a blue whale can reportedly hold it breath for up to 20 minutes.
How long whales stay under water during normal feeding dives and how long

they can stay under water if they have to is quite different. Blue whales can

stay submerged for about 40 min but their dive lengths are more on the order

of 10-15 min. Hope this helped!
A typical dive time is 10-20 minutes, though times over 30 minutes are known to have occurred.
