I have hit about 90' but im not gonna lie you better be able to hold your breath like 3 minutes!!!
 
When I was in the BVI's last May I would regularly hit 30-40 feet. New fin is on the way from DiveR and when I go back someplace warm I want to hit deeper. I love free diving.
 
For those of you interested in increasing your ability, a freediving course is worth its weight in gold. Most of my students enter day one of training with the ability to dive 30 - 60 feet and hold their breaths 1 - 2 minutes. By day two of the course, they are doing 80 - 100 foot dives (most students attain 100) and doing breath holds greater than 3 minutes. Some students reach 4 or 5 minutes.

I have always wanted to do one. I remember reading that Dive Tech in Cayman teach a particularly good free diving course, and they managed to train Jessica Alba (for her role in Into the Blue) to hold her breath for nearly 6 minutes.

One day...
 
30 ft with a snorkel until I can feel the pressure start to push on my chest, been to 70' though but it was ridiculously horrible. With a tank I've been to 122'.
 
I have actually never tried seriously. When I take my asthma meds (I have mild asthma, have not had an attack in over 10 years during which I played high level football) I can hold my breath for about 2 minutes.
In a pool I have reached 36' (it was a bloody deep pool), diving off a 60' cliff into a quarry I have probably gone down about the same (swam down for the hell of it).
