Stig Severinsen is doing an AMA on reddit right now if you have any questions for him.
Who's that? He's the author of Breatheology.
He holds the Guinness World Record for the longest breath hold of 22 minutes, AND for the longest freedive under ice on a single breath of air (236 feet) in speedos. He is a four time freediving world champion, and holds a PhD in Medicine. Ask him anything.
There are some fantastic questions and answers in the thread.

I own his book yet never paid attention to the author. I was surprised while scrolling reddit when I found out that some guy named Stig wrote the book I love.
ETA: He also does a 20 minute breath hold in a shark tank.

He rarely does long breath holds above water but when he does he passes the 8 minute mark.

AMA = Ask Me Anything; Reddit = world's greatest website.
In an AMA one takes questions from the users/audience.
