A typical person can stay underwater for between 30 seconds and a minute.

Trained divers can last for 2 to 3 minutes.

Pearl divers can last for up to around 7 minutes.

The world record for staying underwater (without using pure oxygen first) is just over 9 minutes. (Tom Sietas)

Sietas' World Record using pure oxygen beforehand is a time of just over 16 minutes.

Is it bad to stay in water a long time?

Yes it is, as if you stay underwater for too long, your lungs can't take it, and you may choke/ faint. Only a few mammals (whales, dolphins, porpoises, etc.) can stay underwater for long periods of time.
