Was this realistic? A: the average person can hold their breath for about a minute and a half in desperation. i believe the world record is well above 8 minutes now, but those people have lungs 4 times the capacity. The brain is starved of oxygen at 4 minutes and brain cells begin dying rapidly.ttp://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_long_can_the_average_person_hold_their_breath_under_water. The average person can hold there breath for about 30 to 40 seconds, not that long uh.
The average person can last three minutes without air before they die. However I'm not sure how long it takes somebody to become unconscious.

The women's world record holder for free diving can hold her breath for six minutes without passing out. Source(s): TV.
