Also, I remember reading about someone breaking the record for holding their breath this summer and I remember it being around 30 minutes. Turns out that person used "denitrogenation", which is why it didn't count here. JetPunk teaches me so much useless information xD

There are differents techniques for apnea, but I chose the "classic" static, with no oxygen saturation or other stuff.

Hmmm. On ones I didn’t know, my strategy of identifying the most likely one and selecting the next one past it didn’t work at all. All I did was go past the right one!
