I think about 2 minutes when I tried a few time a year or so ago.

I can swim 100m underwater at my local pool if that helps (with a dive)
That's impressive, though. With a couple of minutes relaxation, some hyperventilation till things go a bit funny, I've swum about a length and a third of a 50 metre pool. Blue lips and a big headache though!
Oh, but no dive, although I don't think that would have given me another 33 metres!

I just did 1:45 while sitting on the loo, I reckon I could have got to 2mins if my life depended on it but it was starting to feel unpleasant and I needed a poo.

I sometimes do this while on the M1. But instead of time, I go by distance (which is therefore also dependant on speed). I can usually manage 2 miles which at speed limit of 70mph would be about 1:43
I could go further or probably hold on longer but the combination of going dizzy / blacking out at the same time as exceeding the ton isn't probably how you'd want to present your defence in front of the beak.

Years ago I did 2 lengths (50M). I was imagining I was one of these freedivers soooo..relaxed.
My mate pulled me out of the water at 50M because I'd passed out and was floating face down! -
I haven't tried it since!

Just did 1m40, but that's after lunchy beers, 2 cups of strong coffee and all the fevered excitement of corporate property insurance.

I saw 62 secs on me watch but then I passed out so I'm not sure exactly. I'm 53 & totally unfit. (until this time tomorrow, after which I'll have been out on the bike for the 1st time this year)

I dunno what that fellatio chart has to do with holding your breath unless you've got a blocked nose. Mind you I've got an 8" tongue & can actually breathe through my ears, so the girls LOVE me!
