Best Answer

Humans can't breathe underwater, unless assisted by either a snorkel or some other sort of air supply.

With such a supply, there's really no limit to how long a human can stay, and breathe under water.

The longest an average human can stay under water is 37 minutes and 15 seconds

The person who answered above me is insane. That's how long SUPERHUMAN can stay underwater. The average human can stay underwater probably... about 1 minute-10 minutes, maybe. Possibly 15. Anyone disagree?
The most a human has ever held their breahe, about 2 1/2 minutes. On average, people can hold their breathe for roughly a minute.
