Still speculative, the original article mentions a lack of spotters and an io9 article mentions a depth of 30-40m. For her this was child's play: freediving gets exponentially harder the deeper you go. She could've decided to go exploring a bit on the bottom - at that shallow depth she'd have 2+ minutes of bottom time. With ~5 days of training, a person can get to 30-40m. Then it becomes harder (e.g. the air in your lungs gets squeezed to a smaller volume than a complete and total exhale) http://io9.com/well-probably-never-know-what-happened-to-freediver-nat-1722730731 http://io9.com/well-probably-never-know-what-happened-to-fre...
