A German type VII U-boat could stay submerged for about 24 hours before it had to resurface to replenish its air supply. This air supply could be extended somewhat by limiting activities of the crew while submerged. The type IX could stay submerged for 11 days. The snorkel in 1943 allowed German subs to stay submerged and refresh air. All other US/UK/Jap etc subs could stay down 2 days before having to vent for fresh air and recharge batteries.
It will survive almost instantly though how long it remains in this state is largely a question of phylum and the liquid the vegetation is submerged in.
They have huge lungs
They don't. When submerged, dolphins hold their breath.
A nuclear powered submarine can remain submerged for as long as it has fuel rods and supplies for the crew.
Many months! The biggest limitation is the amount of food they can carry for the crew. The actual limits are classified. Submarines can produce their own air and water and with nuclear power they could stay submerged indefinitely. The limiting factor is the amount of storage space (there is not much) on a sub for food and the the size of the crew onboard that consumes it. The larger SSGN's can stay submerged longer than the SSN's because they have more storage space.
it could damage skin tissue if submerged too long. like after a long swim in the pool and your skin is all leathery. you can also lose tooth enamel if drank too much. it is about 12% bleach I think.
It's a diver that stays submerged in really deep water for a very long time.
It varies on the type of whale, but about 20 minutes is a good average.
Skin is absorbent, and so when submerged for a long time without being in the air and allowing excess moisture to evaporate, your skin will absorb the fluid it is submerged in. This is how moisturiser creams work; once rubbed onto the skin, it is absorbed.
Long enough for ted to panic, save himself and stumble to his hotel!
