That’s about apnea though. Don’t seals mostly do scuba diving? Or are they really holding their breath?

Some have died from doing underwater breath holding training [1] but I don't know how many minutes they aim for or how regular that is.

technically they didn't die _from_ doing underwater breath holding training _directly_. they fainted (the question at hand is - does the training up to this point cause brain damage) and then drowned.
