The average person can hold there breath for about 30 to 40 seconds, not that long uh. But some people mainly free divers who have been diving for a long period of time their lungs and heart have expanded and got used to holding their breath for longer times. There was a case in NYC which a man for the Guinness Records held his breath for 15 minutes.

Many freedivers can hold their breath 8-10 min. Though most people can only hold their breath for around 1 min.

On the set of The Oprah Winfrey Show on April 30, 2008, David Blaine broke the world record by holding his breath for 17 minutes and 4 seconds
the average person can hold there breath without any support for at least 1 minute then the CO2 starts be transported back to the body without it leaving. any further then 2-3 minuets and you could go unconscious and then you will begin breathing normally again. this is a sort of foolproof way that the body prevents suicide by holding your breath.
more than 30 seconds but usally only 20 seconds
the longest time that the average human can hold his breath is 1min but if you train your self hard you can go for 3 the longest breath has been held by aman from denemark he held his breath for 20 min .

What is the largest diameter the average human can hold?

With one hand, the average male human cannot hold and grasp a basketball from the top without it falling. The standard basketball is a little over 9 inches in diameter. Given that women will have smaller hands on average, the diameter that the average human can hold and prevent from falling, and this is complete conjecture, should be between 5-7 inches. But first, the average human hand size would have to be determined. With two hands, the largest diameter object the average human could hold would be significantly larger, dependent on the wingspan of the average human, the surface texture and the weight of the object, and the average height and strength of the average human .
