CESA from 60' was an AOW requirement when I was initially certified. We would regularly practice from 80' and I have performed one as deep as 115'. Successful execution is 90% mental, yet the element of risk can't really be eliminated.
The amount of air in your lungs is not so important. Even residual lung volume would expand quickly enough to allow for a comfortable ascent at a safe rate.
There is no good reason for performing CESA. Far better to practice gas planning and proper buddy skills.
