Re:Breath hold training
The key to statics is doing at least 6, or more, in a row each time you try them- with rest time inbetween each one. It takes a good 20 minutes for some of the other dive reflexes to kick in to get really long breath holds going.

People often associate the "dive reflex" with slowing of the heart rate- bradycardia. That's only a small part of it. After about 20-30 minutes of freediving the hydrostatic pressure actually 'squeezes' out red blood cells form your spleen and can add up to 20% more RBC supply to your system= longer breath holds.
