Haha, I just responded to another comment of having to pull myself up from shallow drowning. It's for real, but I think it's specific to people with good long capacities—doing a lot longer than the average. I can easily hold my breath for 60s, but 90% of people can't. Shallow drowning is not a situation 90% of people could find themselves facing.

I always remember brain damage can start occuring after 180s, so start questioning at 120. Nothing wrong with coming up for a couple mins of good fresh air before going down again.
