Generally 5 to 10 minutes is about the maximum, although there have been recorded instances where the Orca remained submerged for 15 minutes.

How long can the sperm whale stay underwater?

Since a whale shark is really a shark rather than a whale (mammal) it does all its breathing through its gills. Although a whale shark can come to the surface, it does not need to do so in order to breath like a whale would. With that in mind, a whale shark can stay underwater from the moment it is born until the minute it dies of injury, disease, or old age. Since the life expectancy of a whale shark is around 70 years, that works out to be around 36,792,000 minutes.
