In M&M and SR Comp it says the average human can hold his breath for 45 seconds. While I agree with this, I don't agree with the extended volume bioware only jumping it up to like 2 mins and 15 secs. The human max is 7 minutes while remaining active (Pearl divers in southern Asia) and one time there was this guru guy at my local YMCA who meditated underwater for 9 minutes (all the local papers made a huge deal of it; small town). So anyone care to share their thoughts on this? Is it underpowered or no?
