There is no truly accurate answer. It depends on how long the person can hold their breath for. A physically fit person might not be able to hold their breath as long as an unfit person who is a trained singer or wind musician.

The only accurate answer is until the body involuntarily takes a "breath". How long a person can stay underwater and not drown depends upon the condition of the person and the more importantly the temperature of the water.
