In 2010, Danish no-scuba diver Stig Severinsen jumped into a pool filled with sharks and held his breath in the water for 20 minutes and 10 seconds. The Stig broke the previous Guinness world record for the longest underwater without breathing.

Two years later, the fearless Stig repeated and broke his own record, holding his breath for 22 minutes. If anyone deserves to be called Aquaman, it is this guy.

Stig Severinsen, Ph. D. and MSc in Biology, is known for taking part in the most risky activities, including swimming in icy water. He broke the record by swimming 72 meters in it. Moreover, he did this by diving into an ice-hole, and emerging only at the end of the distance, which was extremely dangerous. After the swim, the hero did not wrap himself in warm clothes, but simply stood and smiled, crossing his arms over his chest. The swimmer's health was monitored by his brother, a medic.

Before starting the countdown, Stig did a special breathing exercise that saturates the lungs with oxygen, which helped him withstand so much time without air. Severinsen also made sure that the water in the pool was 30 degrees, which allowed him to lower his heart rate to 30 beats per minute. This amazing man broke his own record without breathing underwater, but for fun he lasted another minute and fifty seconds so that the exact time of his stay under water was exactly 22 minutes.

Perhaps the fact is that the Stig's lung capacity is 14 liters, which is double the average person. In addition, he knows how to concentrate so that he remains calm and does not waste oxygen for nothing.
