My team in Germany all did it before we ran a pre-scuba where we had to make the students do it. It took us all 3-4 tries before getting it, except this one guy - pot-bellied, smoked, shitty runner.... but BOY could he hold his breath & was comfortable in the water...

Stras, you don't remember that guy's name by any chance do you?
Would that be before or after I was accused of breathing through my feet on the breath holding event.....?????

3 guys on my team finished in the top 4 slots... It's not every day that you can use your Team Leader as a swim buoy....
