So if you’re this good at holding your breath you could basically live underwater like a dolphin. Coming up to breath every minute or two. How weird would it be

  I doubt that he could hold his breath so long again right after like that. He probably needs to spend a while getting air before he could go back down. I wonder if there's a multiple-dive discipline of freediving, maybe the deepest you can go 3x successively, with only say 15 seconds of air in between each dive.

  One key difference is that humans need about as long as they were under water, at rest, to recover oxygen in their blood and normalize co2 levels. We can’t swim up, exhale, breathe, and swim back down. That’s a recipe for a guaranteed black out. We also can’t swim very strongly while holding our breath. Everything is slow, controlled, deliberate, and conservative in all ways possible.

    Seems like a quick fix for a CRISPR/CAS9 edit.
