How to breathe like a dolphin

The Why Factor

Available for over a year

Danish marine biologist Stig Severinsen has been called the Human Dolphin and The Man Who Doesn't Breathe. Little wonder – in 2012 he broke a world record by spending 22 minutes underwater on a single breath of air. It's very different from the more active free diving he usually does.
