Humans can't breathe underwater. We can hold our breath for a short time, some of us longer than others. Longer than two minutes (without training to hold your breath beforehand) usually results in unconsciousness (and you'll automatically start to breathe again, which is very bad if your head is underwater). The world record with training is 22 minutes, but anything significantly more than that would push the body to its breaking point.
This seems not to be the case with some Video Game characters, however, who can swim underwater for infinite amounts of time and show absolutely no signs of discomfort. This incredible feat is never ever explained, or even mentioned as something out of the ordinary in these games.
Sometimes, the character gets a diving mask equipped with only a snorkel and absolutely no oxygen containers. While in the real world, this equipment would allow you to swim only a small depth under the surface of the water, in the games following this trope, it lets you plunge boldly into the deepest oceanic depths.
The most unsettling part, if you think about it, is the imagery often accompanying this trope: once in a while tiny air bubbles escape from your character's mouth and happily go speeding towards the surface. In the real world, it would mean that what little oxygen is still left in your character's lungs is gradually depleting, leading to an impending drowning.
This trope was mostly used in underwater levels of pre-8-bit and early 8-bit Platform Games. Due to programming limits it was easier to either invoke this trope, or just give the character Super Drowning Skills. In the late 8-bit era, many games implemented a revolutionary aversion of this trope, namely the Oxygen Meter. Still, this trope continues to be used in Video Games time after time up to the present day, and is even sometimes encountered in other media.
Super Not Drowning Skills is a Sub-Trope of Acceptable Breaks from Reality. It seems to be the opposite of Super Drowning Skills; however, they both can be present in different levels of the same game.
Not to be confused with any characters who have the supernatural ability to breathe underwater, sometimes resulting in Water Is Air. Super Not Drowning Skills happens when characters don't (or are very unlikely to) have this ability, but can survive underwater for an indefinite time anyway.
Compare with Super Swimming Skills, which can be considered a Sister Trope to this one; take note that if a character has one, they'll probably have the other one as well. Characters with these abilities are particularly prone to Symbolic Serene Submersion. For the same trope, but IN SPACE, see Batman Can Breathe in Space. For similar extraordinary skills of surviving in ice, see Harmless Freezing. See also Artificial Gill, The Needless. A person may be using a Reed Snorkel.

Wizard101 gives several justifications for this in various underwater areas, such as water breathing potions, aqualung fish, or just a side effect of whatever teleported you to the lake bed.
Pirate101 zig-zags on this front. First there's nothing stopping you from staying underwater for as long as you want, without so much as a Lampshade Hanging, then an underwater fight where your ability to hold your breath serves as a time limit, and finally a lake of magic water that supposedly any land creature can breathe.

Crazy Taxi pulled this off to a truly ludicrous level, but hell, the clue is in the title. If you think Mario holding his breath and fighting monsters for six or seven minutes is stretching it, how about taking an entire taxi plus passengers underwater. And driving about. And then driving back out again. And no, that's not a bug!

In Star Trek Online, water is entirely cosmetic and doesn't actually affect your character in any way. In the few places where you can go deep enough to get your head underwater, feel free to sit at the bottom for however long you want.

A good chunk of Guild Wars 2's content is underwater, and it's been confirmed that you get a breath mask item that allows you to stay underwater indefinitely. However, amphibious Ranger pets (anything that isn't a fish, bird, or spider) get no breath mask, but can stay underwater indefinitely.
Unequipping the breather has no effect on the character, however, aside from you losing any armor or stats it would give you.

The undersea ruins in Mana Khemia 2 can't be accessed until the player finds the recipe for air drops, a candy that provides oxygen for anyone who eats it. Of course, the fact that you only need one for a five or six character party and you can visit repeatedly without making more raises a few questions. Air drops make a return in Atelier Lydie And Suelle as well.

The Shape of Water: Zig-zagged with the main character Elisa. She is more comfortable with water than most humans. When she floods the bathroom to the top window, she doesn't worry about drowning, nor does she put her head above water to breathe. After only a minute or two, Giles opens the door and all the water comes out. In the final scene, she falls into the flooded dry dock, apparently too weak to swim. The Amphibian Man turns her neck scars into gills so she can breathe underwater.

The Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) mini-series issue #2 story, "A Crowning Achievement Part III", has Sonic and Tails diving to an underwater cavern to retrieve one of the missing Freedom Emeralds from King Acorn's crown. They seemingly have no difficulty breathing underwater, despite the fact that the previous issue's story, "Something Fishy", depicts Sonic struggling to breathe underwater.

Digimon:
At one point in Digimon Tamers' Digital World arc, Takato and Henry are forced to swim through an underwater cavern, at which point they discover that since they're being rendered in a Virtual Reality they don't need to breathe at all.
An early episode of Digimon Fusion had Shoutmon X2, already a Fusion Dance of Shoutmon and Ballistamon, fuse with ChibiKamemon to get this so that it could fight an Octomon after getting dragged underwater with the heroes.

In Dungeons & Dragons Online, characters have an oxygen meter that depends on their Swim skill. But with the waterbreathing spell or an underwater action item, it becomes irrelevant. Warforged, being magically animated living constructs, don't breathe in the first place and can always stay underwater indefinitely.

Might and Magic VIII has the Elemental Plane of Water, which unlike the swimming level of the previous game doesn't require a wetsuits for the characters — but on the other hand, it is a magical alternate dimension and not a mundane underwater area, so the normal rules might not apply.

In Champions Online: There are large segments completely underwater, but as you play as a superhero underwater breathing might just be a shared power across every hero. It's explained in one of the first missions in the underwater zone - you gather herbs that are used to create the elixir that lets heroes breathe underwater. You've already been using it, especially during the Lemuria trial, they just need to make more for other, incoming heroes.

Jonathan in Pharaoh Rebirth can't swim and as such water is lethal to him; however, when he has to traverse a temple that is half underwater, his friend sends him a drone carrying a very advanced breathing apparatus. From that moment on, swimming is no longer a problem for Jonathan, and you can revisit previous areas blocked by water.

Doraemon games, most of them being Mario clones (like Doraemon 2: SOS! Otogi no Kuni for the PlayStation or the DS adaptation of Doraemon: Nobita and the Green Giant Legend), tends to have underwater areas where characters can walk around without issues, though it's often handwaved as Doraemon's gadgets (he does have an Adaptational Light that allows the user to survive underwater or in outer space for 24 hours).

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Lizalfos can swim indefinitely, with them being the only terrestrial enemy that can do so (Bokblins, Moblins and Horriblins can't swim, Hinoxes can swim only for a short while, Lynels and Taluses can't enter water, and while Wizzrobes probably can't swim, they can't be forced into water in the first place).

Marvel comics characters who fight the Sub-Mariner often get in extended underwater battles. This is especially true for the Fantastic Four; Ben can hold his breath for nearly ten minutes, but the others usually need Reed to invent something for them. It's taken to ridiculous extremes in one episode of Fantastic Four: The Animated Series, where Reed comes up with an "oxygenating spray" that lets them breathe without any gear (and survive deep-sea pressure, apparently) for three hours. He also makes it possible for the Torch to burn underwater... with a wristband. And, in fact, the show did not invent anything here. The "oxygenating spray" and the Torch burning underwater (albeit not the wristband) were created during the Lee-Kirby era, in the comic book that episode was based from.

The Addams Family series:
The Addams Family (NES): If you dive in the lake without any gear, your health meter would start gradually depleting. But if you find a diving mask with a snorkel, you can swim through a set of underground caverns with no problems.
The Addams Family 2 (NES/SNES) also plays it straight.

The main character of Mega Man (Classic) series is a robot, but he still creates bubbles as if he were breathing, though. The bubbles are probably air escaping from whatever open space exists in his robot body.
Mega Man Zero give Zero similar underwater properties, but plays with in it one level where Zero does have a time limit to get inside a submarine before it dives too deep and the pressure crushes him.
Mega Man ZX: It's unclear how the biometals effect the user (besides giving him/her their inherent abilities). If the Player Character is in human form, he/she will float on the water and never sink. If they are using a biometal, they will sink like a stone, with no adverse affects whatsoever.

Wario Land series: Being a spinoff from the Super Mario Bros. series, it also uses this trope.
The exception is Wario Land: Shake It! where Wario uses a subwarine in underwater levels.

Horizon Forbidden West has Aloy eventually devise and construct the Diving Mask, a mouth-covering apparatus made out of various machine parts that gleans oxygen out of the water. Beforehand, Aloy had a limited time period she could stay underwater before drowning, and afterwards she can stay underwater indefinitely and will even mutter aloud underwater.

In the first generation of the First Encounter Assault Recon games, swimming seems to have been added as an afterthought. In the few sections where there is water deep enough to dive in, both the Point Man and the Sergeant* protagonist of the Perseus Mandate expansion can remain under for as long as they want with no ill effects, though there's no location in any of the games where this ability comes in handy.

In March 2018, Fortean Times (issue FT365) reported on experiments in how human beings could be trained to breathe underwater - by deliberately ingesting oxygen-rich liquid into the lungs. This has apparently been attempted, with no apparent ill-effects, by suitably inclined volunteers. A submission to the magazine's online discussion forum pointed out that without exception, every human being alive has already spent nine months doing this - while in the womb. So in theory it should not be too difficult.

The Sapling: The amount of time an air-breathing animal can remain underwater (or vice versa in the case of water breathers) is determined by their mouth type. Certain mouth types (primarily the ones inspired by real life aquatic mammals and birds, especially if they also evolve a blow hole) allow the species to remain underwater for lengthy periods of time, to the point that they can effectively live in the water full time and compete for the same niches as water breathing animals.

The Secret of Monkey Island cleverly subverts this trope by telling us early on that our hero Guybrush Threepwood can hold his breath for 10 whole minutes underwater. This is meant to imply to the player that when Guybrush actually ends up underwater later on, he would actually be able hold his breath for however long it would take to solve the underwater puzzle. However, when exactly 10 minutes have passed underwater, Guybrush dies. This is the only possible Game Over in the entire game.

Heroes of the Desk: Justified for Sylvanas Windrunner. She's not even technically alive, being undead and all, so air is not a concern. Explicitly pointed out by Kerrigan and Sylvanas herself, who muses on what she would do if everyone else drowned since they were near the ocean bottom at the time. Apparently, being undead also means immunity to eight tons of pressure per square inch as well.

Looney Tunes:
There's a Bugs Bunny cartoon, Hare Ribbin, where Bugs Bunny is chased by a dog into a lake and the rest of the cartoon takes place underwater.
In the short Fin n' Catty, once the cat conquers his fear of water, he comes to love it so much that he sleeps in what was once the goldfish's bowl. The goldfish, who is now confined to a glass of water, isn't happy.
In the early Porky Pig cartoon Fish Tales, Porky is able to survive being underwater while trying to escape from fish who want to eat him. Granted, the whole thing turns out to be All Just a Dream.

The titular Azurik could stay underwater until being killed by the uncommon underwater hazards, going into one of the very rare whirlpools, or getting out of the water yourself. There wasn't a limit otherwise. Unfortunately, you couldn't fight while swimming. His skin, hair, eyes, and tattoos were blue, so maybe he's some unnamed amphibious thingy.

Pinocchio: Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket spend eight minutes of screen time (and possibly days of real time) under the ocean looking for Monstro the whale with no effect other than garbled underwater voices. It sort of makes sense for Pinocchio, since he's made of wood — what doesn't make sense is that a few minutes later, he apparently drowns. And as for Jiminy? Well, he was in a bubble... briefly, until it filled up with water. Probably gave many physicists headaches.

Oxygen Not Included: Accounting for Videogame Time, your Duplicants have impressive lung capacity for both underwater and working in unbreathable gas pockets. Sure, they panic and rush to have a breath before they're even at risk, but if forced to they can stay put and work for quite a long time. Even more so for those with Diver's Lung and Deep Diver's Lung as traits. The possible justification comes with Duplicants being a Human Subspecies engineered and cloned specifically for space colonization, where lung capacity would be a desirable attribute.

Modesty Blaise: Modesty Blaise as well as sidekick Willie use yoga training to stay underwater for up to five minutes.

You need the Skula Soul to allow you to do more than paddle across the surface in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, and the soul presumably gives you the ability to breathe underwater as well. But, if you disable the soul while underwater, Soma won't suffer any ill effects even if you're in a cave far away from the surface. Meanwhile, the bonus characters require no special items to swim and operate underwater, and can do so indefinitely.

Kirby likes to put on a scuba mask when he's underwater, but sometimes doesn't bother. Even when he does, he never dons any air tanks, just the mask, which he appears to only wear for vision and/or fun. Sometimes he outright wears a snorkel instead, even when he's nowhere near the surface of the water. He can also survive in the vacuum of space. Although none of this is directly explained, the lack of need for air could be justified by Bizarre Alien Biology, or by the pocket dimension he has access to being full of air.

The Shantae games zig-zag about this, but water is never lethal by itself.
The Mermaid Dance allows her to swim underwater freely and indefinitely.
The Crab Dance allows Shantae to walk on the bottom of the body of water she drops into, allowing her to access gaps that the Mermaid form is just too big for.
If Shantae hits water in human form, she floats to the top and stays there, but is capable of swimming on the surface for quite some time. If she dives into the stuff in any other form, she will revert to human form on contact.

In the Dream SMP Minecraft roleplay, Fundy locked Technoblade in a dunk tank (with the intent to drown him) as the latter was practicing trident leaps combined with "MLG water saves" at the Manberg Festival. However, this backfired on Fundy as Techno demonstrated the power of a helmet enchanted with Respiration III by staying in the tank for several minutes and overdramatically pretending to be in any real danger from suffocation, while many of the other players awkwardly watched on.

Most bodies of water in Final Fantasy XI act as an Insurmountable Waist-Height Fence, but some tunnel/sewer zones have areas of standing water you can freely walk through.

Final Fantasy XIV doesn't even let you enter water where you can't swim - you can cross knee-deep rivers or ponds, but that's it. The Stormblood expansion introduces swimming and diving in selected areas. Inverting If It Swims, It Flies, your flying mounts can also be used underwater. Justified as your character undergoing a Kojin magic ritual that lets them breathe water as if it were air.
Later exploited come Shadowbringers, where a group of malicious aquatic fey attempt to drown the player character... Only for them to easily escape because they can breathe underwater.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: You wouldn't know it from a casual glance, but the EVA pilots' cockpits are filled with LCL, a viscous orange fluid that is somehow made transparent. Even if they try justifying it by having the liquid have a high O2 saturation, there's still the issues of insufficient tidal exchange.

Super Paper Mario: The main characters can breathe underwater, but not in space. Fanon speculates that Mario can filter oxygen out of the water with his moustache.
Super Mario Galaxy features the exact opposite. Mario can breathe in space, but not underwater. This may be justified in that he spends the game with a mystical star child beneath his hat, whose specific purpose is to help him travel the stars. Though this doesn't explain how other NPCs like the Toad Brigade can breathe.

Lampshaded with the page quote from Sam & Max: Freelance Police, where Sam points out that they don't need gills to swim to the bottom of a lake because they're in a cartoon, where stuff like that doesn't usually matter. Max knows this, but he just wants gills anyway because he thinks they're cool. Sam placates him by drawing some on with a red marker.

World of Warcraft is semi-justified. Most player-races have an Oxygen Meter but the Forsaken, being Dead to Begin With, they have no need to breathe and can stay underwater much longer than the others (since Mists of Pandaria, indefinitely). When they run out of air they quickly die from drowning damage. Some classes also have spells to let them breathe underwater, plus there's an alchemist potion and engineering helm. Pets, however, have no oxygen meter and can breathe underwater without the aid of magic. This might be Hand Waved in the case of Warlocks' demonic minions, and makes sense with the water elementals used by frost mages, but the most likely explanation for Hunters' pets is that most of the animals in question can hold their breath at least as long as a humanoid or much longer. Though this doesn't explain Hunters who use artificial means.
Non-player enemies, of course, are not affected by this, but some will not even chase players who escape into water.
Siege engines on the other hand have Super Drowning Skills, taking a lot of damage quickly due to water damaging the machinery.
The game also uses a secondary meter to prevent players from swimming out into places they are not supposed to reach, called Fatigue. This meter appears in or above deep water (unless the player is on a ship or other automated transports), runs out much quicker and there is no way to avoid it quickly killing you except turning back.
Unless you're a druid, which, with decent gear and liberal application of its instant-cast heal-over-time spells, can swim indefinitely through Fatigue.
Fatigue can get interesting when you take into account Water Walking spells and mounts. Somehow you manage to drown while standing on the surface of the water. This got especially annoying in Mists of Pandaria's Timeless Isle. It contained a boss, a giant whale, which swam an endless circle around the island, never stopping no matter how many people were attacking it - the entire things was a moving beatdown on a high HP target. A few parts of its path took it into fatigue territory, forcing players to retreat to shallower waters where they would be unable to attack.
One zone, Vashj'ir, takes place entirely underwater. In order to prevent drowning from becoming an issue, the first quest in the zone, which is a prerequisite for all of the others, has you collect some of the local creatures to help a shaman cast an enchantment on you that will allow you to breathe underwater while in the zone—and also move faster through the water in the zone.
In the original game and the first expansion (The Burning Crusade), your breath meter went down at a realistic rate while you were underwater. After about 30 seconds of holding your breath, you started to drown. Nowadays, though, even the lowliest neophyte can hold his breath underwater for two solid minutes with no ill effect. He can also cast fireball spells (if a mage) or use his Battle Shout and Demoralizing Shout abilities (if a warrior) while fully immersed.

Pirate101 zig-zags on this front. First there's nothing stopping you from staying underwater for as long as you want, without so much as a Lampshade Hanging, then an underwater fight where your ability to hold your breath serves as a time limit, and finally a lake of magic water that supposedly any land creature can breathe.

In the Marathon series, you do have an Oxygen Meter, and it doesn't refill with air simply by surfacing; you must recharge your suit's oxygen tank from canisters and wall sockets. You can stay underwater for a long amount of time, but the second that tank has depleted... (There are also vacuum levels, which have the same mechanic, and additionally disallow the usage of some weapons.)

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest has a contradictory depiction of Super Not Drowning Skills. In most water levels, your character can stay underwater indefinitely. However, in the swamp levels the water acts as Bottomless Pits....you are dead if you fall into it. That said, the swamp's sludge might well be too thick for the Kong to swim in, or the swamp is poisonous.

The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World: Paul discovers that he doesn't need to breathe when he freezes so thoroughly after going to high strength that he doesn't even let his lungs inflate. Proves very useful when he ends up trapped at the bottom of the Hungry Sea for a while. He reveals this little tidbit as a casual aside, and the others are too distracted by their circumstances to immediately notice it. Later, though, John quizzes him on how he survived underwater, and he nonchalantly says, "Turns out I don't actually have to breathe."

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home: Captain Kirk. He rescues two whales from the cargo hold of a crashed, sinking Klingon starship. Played with in the case of the whales themselves, it's pointed out that whilst they naturally do have Super Not Drowning Skills in comparison to humans (being aquatic mammals), they do need to come up to the surface to breathe and will drown if they don't.

Leaving him underwater after ten minutes in Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, The Curse of Monkey Island (maybe), Escape from Monkey Island (only once), and Tales of Monkey Island (both while still alive and as a zombie) only results in him scrambling back up to the surface for air, after which he can dive underwater to try again as many times as he wants. The only exceptions to these are in Escape, when, after ten minutes on the second time underwater, he will drown, with no second chances this time; and in Tales, when he becomes a Ghost Pirate in Chapter 5, and not only does he walk or run while underwater in the Manatee Mating Grounds as a ghost, but he stays underwater indefinitely, until the player decides to make him come up to the surface. This will happen until he finds a way to repossess his own body.

In ARK: Survival Evolved, the Oxygen stat rules not just a creature's ability to hold its breath, but also its swimming capability, leading creatures like Ankylosaurus and Doedicurus to be more agile in water than they are on land simply because their Movement Speed is that low. In addition, the complete lack of an Oxygen stat denotes a creature that simply does not need air... which, in addition to fish, applies to a surprising number of aquatic/semiaquatic reptiles.

Mario Kart 7 has underwater racing in many levels. And yes, you can stay underwater for as long as you liked, use fireballs and explosive items down there and see the sights of an eight person go-kart race along the sea bed. Mario Kart 8 has more underwater segments in courses, and its Updated Re-release Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is particularly notable for having Inklings as guest drivers. Inklings dissolve into ink if they fall into water in their home games, but apparently go-karting in the Super Mario Bros. universe is enough to give them complete immunity to water.

Mario Party: All boards set underwater are played without the need to hold breath or use any breathing apparatus or swimming gear for the characters. The boards are Deep Bloober Sea (Mario Party 3), Undersea Dream (Mario Party 5), the underwater parts in Blooper Beach (Mario Party 9), and Whimsical Waters (Mario Party 10). The same holds true for several Under the Sea minigames, though there are exceptions.

In the NES Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game, one of the levels involves swimming in the Hudson River to disable a series of underwater bombs. The four playable characters are all turtles, which means that they do have greater underwater survival ability than most; however, the timer on the bombs is short enough (two minutes, thirty seconds) that breath is the least of their worries. (If the timer runs out, it's an instant game over, but if a turtle dies in some other way before it does, it resets for the next one...)

Normally, averted in the Metal Gear franchise, as the player character will start to drown if underwater too long, and usually has to get an oxygen tank (if available in the game) in order to stay under longer. However, played straight with certain unlockable items in some of the games that, when equipped, will keep your oxygen meter from diminishing: the Wig A item in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and the Brown face paint in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Note that Wig A won't protect Raiden from the Super Drowning Pool in the Vamp boss fight, nor will it help Emma during the underwater Escort Mission.

Nino from Arakawa Under the Bridge tries to teach the iron brothers how to swim by example. She disappears underwater for eight minutes, and returns with armfuls of fish. Eight minutes is very impressive, although not world record material. Later, a minor character followed her underwater with SCUBA gear and remarks that an hour of oxygen wasn't enough. (Perhaps it's Nino's Venusian physiology?)

The Blaster Master Zero trilogy have Jason traversing underwater areas in the same suit he travels out of his tank with. Justified since the suit was designed by an alien civilization to conduct maintenance and fight mutants in extreme environments, including empty, zero-g space. Kane uses a similar suit, and Eve is a gynoid mostly corrupted by mutant cells.

Pokémon Special: Though not exactly Super Not Drowning Skills, more like Super breath holding skills, during the Aqua op at Mt. Chimney, Sapphire and Flannery are trapped in a air tight cable car that has filled with water, and are able to survive about 7 minutes without oxygen, even though they're both just kids. Also apparently, The girls can hear every word the bad guy was saying even though he was wearing a air filled helmet, and even if he wasn't, you can't hear stuff underwater as well as in air. (Some wild Pokémon can track their prey by sound or scent, and Sapphire would have to hold her breath and remain completely still to avoid detection in those instances. She is the Wild Child of the dex holders, after all. That, and the other Badass Normal feats she performs, make this par for the course.)

Super Mario Bros. (NES) had both this and Super Drowning Skills. In the underwater levels, you can hold your breath for the whole level; while there is a timer and you will die if it hits 0, the same is true for land levels. In the land levels, bodies of water work just like Bottomless Pits (there are more in abundance in Lost Levels).

Both averted and played straight in the 8-bit versions of Sonic the Hedgehog. Like most Sonic games, Sonic will drown if he spends too long underwater. The third stage of Labyrinth zone is set entirely underwater, and Sonic never needs to breathe, despite finding air bubbles being an important part of the previous two stages.

In the video game adaptation of Toy Story 2, Buzz can stay underwater for as long as he likes, but it makes sense considering that 1, he always wear a helmet, and 2, he's a toy and doesn't even have lungs.

Dungeons & Dragons:
The Water Breathing spell and a few magical items can let you breathe underwater.
And in the book on fantastic architecture, you can build a room of water breathable to both land and sea creatures.
5th Edition Air Genasi can hold their breath indefinitely thanks to their Air Elemental Embodiment ancestry.
The Elemental Plane of Water contains pockets of "liquid air", which is a liquid breathable by air-breathers. Unfortunately, there's no way of telling how long they last.

During the episode, "Descent" of Stargate SG-1, this happens twice, when a Goa'uld Mothership they're on crashes and sinks into the Pacific Ocean. They often find themselves in a watery situation, and they're not even hindered by the undoubtedly cold temperatures of the deep Pacific.
Col. O'Niell and Major Carter find themselves trapped in a rapidly flooding corridor, and find themselves completely submerged for a good amount of time, almost to the breaking point. Though Carter's father is unable to open a door and help them escape, they ultimately survive when the door opens by itself, due to Thor's consciousness being trapped within the system of the ship.
Jonas Quinn manages to swim through flooded corridors to a power conduit to activate a force field which would prevent the flooding of a hangar. He is submerged throughout the process of swimming to this conduit, activating the force field, and swimming to a submerged ring transport room to transport himself to the other members of SG-1. Possibly justified as Jonas isn't exactly of Earth, yet he's still human.

In the anime Grenadier: Rushuna encounters an opponent who uses an apparatus for breathing and fighting underwater. She fights with seemingly no ill effects for an extended period of time. Although she does eventually need to get air, she goes well over two minutes without any. In the same fight, she evens the scales with a breathing apparatus provided by one of her allies. Said ally is a balloon seller by trade, and the apparatus in question is a helium pump.

In Quest for Glory V, your character can acquire a ring that allows him survive indefinitely underwater. Once he learns how to swim, swimming without the ring deals damage to you. However if you pay attention, you'll notice that your character, sufficiently grinded, can stay well over an hour under the water before finally dying, longer if you have a means to heal yourself.

Grim Fandango has a while mine where people harvest glowing coral underwater with no breathing equipment, but it's set in the afterlife, so everyone's dead. However, that doesn't explain their ability to talk normally. Or smoke.
Toyed with in the case of the demon Glottis. He did eventually have to get out of the water, but only because his skin was getting all pruney.

The Legend of Zelda:
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Once you put on the Zora Tunic you can be underwater as long as you want without drowning. Justified by the shirt being explicitly magical.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: The Zora Armor does the same thing, but has the decency of Hand Waving it by having a face mask pop up to cover your mouth whenever you're underwater.
Majora's Mask takes it a step further: one mask turns you into a Zora.
It is also notable that one of the few games where Link does not get Super Not Drowning Skills of any kind is The Wind Waker, somewhat odd when you consider that it is also the only game that takes place on an ocean. (Also problematic when the damn boat keeps talking to you instead of letting you on, even when your swim meter is about to run out.) Link can only drown in the ocean. Justified near the beginning of the game, where it's explained by an NPC that the Great Sea's currents will tire Link out and swallow him up if he swims in it for too long. He doesn't have this problem in the various small ponds and streams on some of the islands, as they are presumably shallower and a lot less rough to swim in.

H₂O: Just Add Water: Justified, as the main characters are mermaids, though they have the limitation of a live-action actress, meaning they can't breathe underwater. They can still hold their breath for longer than any human, clocking fifteen minutes in their first week of being mermaids. Fast-forward to Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure, Ondina, a natural-born mermaid, spends at least an hour crying underwater with no ill effects.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!:
Just like the 2D games, the show did at least one entire episode set underwater with the cast suffering no apparent breathing problems (or the Princess's hair even floating upward), and even holding conversations. Oddly enough, a later episode on follow-up series The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 had Mario almost drown when one of the Doomsub's lasers zapped him. Luigi immediately lampshaded this, saying that Mario swims better than most fish.
There's the episode "Plumber's Academy" from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show that had Mario and Luigi borrow scuba gear to fix a cemented clog in the sewers of New York City. And in "20,000 Koopas Under the Sea", a human character puts on a diving helmet to go underwater while Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Peach can breathe without one...

Strangely, this seems to happen in The Boat That Rocked. When the ship starts to sink, Carl and Bob spend plenty of time arguing underwater about Bob trying to rescue all of his records at once, without looking even slightly distressed at the lack of oxygen. Bob then spends further time trying to choose one record to rescue, still not looking at all bothered about being underwater for so long.

Some of the Super Mario Bros. examples may be justified by the fact that some of the characters are given power from the stars... Though it doesn't explain everything. In many of the platform games, Mario has a five minute time limit to complete the level, which means with training he could hold his breath the entire time.

In Final Fantasy VI, a diving helmet is needed to access an ocean path. But only one is needed or found for the whole party, and no explanation is given of its functionality without other supporting equipment. The GBA port includes a boss battle underwater with 4 characters and said mining helmet probably being lost at that point.

Donkey Kong:
Donkey Kong Country (SNES) plays this straight. Quite ironic seeing how gorillas in Real Life possess Super Drowning Skills.
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest has a contradictory depiction of Super Not Drowning Skills. In most water levels, your character can stay underwater indefinitely. However, in the swamp levels the water acts as Bottomless Pits....you are dead if you fall into it. That said, the swamp's sludge might well be too thick for the Kong to swim in, or the swamp is poisonous.
Donkey Kong 64: The Kongs never drown when swimming, despite Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie (this one made by the same company even), games that influenced its general design, averting this trope.
Donkey Kong Country Returns shows a notable aversion for the series, because the Kongs apparently forgot how to swim, and all water is treated as a Bottomless Pit. In the sequel Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, the Kongs can swim again, but there is an Oxygen Meter.

Averted and/or justified in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. One of the events requires the contestants to stay underwater for a significant period of time, and much of the challenge is figuring out how to do that. Turns out that magic offers several ways of doing this.

Just try figuring out how the Godzillasaurus survived underwater for as long as it did in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah. Untouched by radiation, we see the dinosaur in the film walking comfortably on the bottom of the ocean before it becomes Godzilla again. Maybe drowning just wasn't a problem for dinosaurs?

The first two installments of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series have underwater dungeons that only require you to have the Surf and/or Dive HMs in your inventory to be accessed. Any Pokemon is free to explore said dungeons with no air issues whatsoever.

Dive makes a return in Pokémon Black and White; although there are no underwater battles anymore, the player character him/herself is still quite capable of breathing while down there, although you can only go a certain number of steps before popping back to the surface.

Chelestra, the completely water-based world in the third book of The Death Gate Cycle, automatically granted this power to everyone — even visitors could breathe underwater. Of course, the ocean also had the property of obliterating rune-based magic, so it might not have been water.

Muv-Luv: BETA either don't need to breathe, or are capable of holding their breath for hours to days, enough to ford narrow seas and straits by walking across the seafloor: in the anime of Muv-Luv Alternative, they're shown first crossing into Japan via the seafloor of the Korea Strait and the East China Sea, and then coast-hopping their way around the secondary defensive line in the center of Honshu, while Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse shows them attempting the same tactic through the Sea of Okhotsk to get around the Red Army's defensive lines on the Kamchatka Peninsula. However, they either can't hold their breath long enough to cross areas of open ocean, or the water pressure is too high or the temperature too low. This is the main reason the Americas remain BETA-free: the only potential crossing point is the Bering Strait, and the United States is quite happy to use the Nuclear Option against attempted orbital insertions. Though they've also somewhat inexplicably been kept out of Africa so far despite overrunning Europe decades ago.

Savage Halloween, a Monster Mash-themed action game, have a level set underwater, where you swim around an underwater temple while fending off piranha schools. It's worth noting that one of your characters, Dominika, is a vampire, and she's somehow immune to water despite the classical beliefs about vampires.

The Elder Scrolls:
The Argonians have this as a racial ability. Argonians can breathe water just as easily as air, and are known to use this as a guerrilla warfare tactic, dragging their foes underwater and drowning them. Argonians are also known to make encampments underwater, which are obviously hard for non-Argonians to attack.
Throughout the series, the Water Breathing spell is available to allow non-Argonians to do this. It also comes as an effect in potions and enchantments, allowing non-mages to use it.

Septimus Heap:
Septimus Heap's brother Simon apparently spent months with his head in a bucket learning the Darke Art of Suspension Underwater.
The Darke Disguise offers this power for free. It grants you not only the ability to breathe underwater, but also calms you and clears your vision. Septimus uses it in Darke. But it only lasts a certain amount of time and then if you don't find air, you drown.

One Piece usually goes out of it's way to avert this in the case of the Devil fruit users but there is one aversion in Jack whose is shown to still be alive despite being at the bottom of the ocean. Later, it’s revealed that he’s a fishman, a race that can breathe underwater. However it's shown that it only extends to him being able to breathe, other than that he's as helpless as any other Devil Fruit user when submerged.

Pokémon:
In Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, you can ride on the back of your Pokémon at the bottom of the sea with the HM Dive and have no problem staying there for hours without any gear and your Pokemon have no problem battling underwater either, even Pokemon like Charmander, which supposedly dies if the flame on its tail goes out.
Also, swimmer class trainers will complain about how exhausted they are and one even asked for a ride back to shore if he wins the battle. If you win, he just continues to float there and not drown. (Same can be said of any swimmer trainer far away from any type of land.)
Dive makes a return in Pokémon Black and White; although there are no underwater battles anymore, the player character him/herself is still quite capable of breathing while down there, although you can only go a certain number of steps before popping back to the surface.
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire subverts this trope, at least for Brendan and May, as Steven will give the player scuba gear upon getting the HM for Dive. It's played straight for one class, though, the Free Diver. Not only are they able to stay at the bottom of the ocean with no sort of scuba gear outside of a pair of goggles, they can even speak underwater!

Godzilla can breathe underwater. Japanese guide books created during the Showa Godzilla era explained that the holes in his necknote The holes that allow the suit actor to see and breathe are a set of gills.
A more extreme example is in Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth when Godzilla swims a great distance through LAVA and doesn't die.
Prior to that, he actually spent five years trapped in a volcano in the interregnum between The Return of Godzilla and Godzilla vs. Biollante, and was no worse for wear after he got out.
Just try figuring out how the Godzillasaurus survived underwater for as long as it did in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah. Untouched by radiation, we see the dinosaur in the film walking comfortably on the bottom of the ocean before it becomes Godzilla again. Maybe drowning just wasn't a problem for dinosaurs?
Justified in the MonsterVerse where the universe's incarnation of Godzilla is given a more obvious set of traditional gills on the side of his neck.

It is also notable that one of the few games where Link does not get Super Not Drowning Skills of any kind is The Wind Waker, somewhat odd when you consider that it is also the only game that takes place on an ocean. (Also problematic when the damn boat keeps talking to you instead of letting you on, even when your swim meter is about to run out.) Link can only drown in the ocean. Justified near the beginning of the game, where it's explained by an NPC that the Great Sea's currents will tire Link out and swallow him up if he swims in it for too long. He doesn't have this problem in the various small ponds and streams on some of the islands, as they are presumably shallower and a lot less rough to swim in.

Kerbal Space Program is hard to pin down with this trope. Kerbals are super-bouyant, but you can trap one underwater by, say, attaching a command chair to a tank full of heavy ore, and they won't drown. The obvious explanation is that they wear spacesuits; the problem with this is the extreme timescales the game works in. You can abandon a Kerbal in deep space for literal years with just their suit for company, and they won't even suffer from unhappiness; trapping them underwater for the same amount of time is equally harmless. Either the suits contain infinite life-support resources, or Kerbals are immortal and wear spacesuits for fun (and for the jetpacks).

The titular character of Scooby-Doo has demonstrated the ability to hold his breath for long periods of time on numerous occasions, in addition to having Super Swimming Skills. Examples of this in action include "A Tiki Scare is No Fair" when he swims with the rest of the gang into an underwater cave, "She Sees Sea Monsters by the Sea Shore" when he saves Fred from drowning, "Uncle Scooby and Antarctica" when he rescues Little Pete from the Gilled Ghoul, Scooby-Doo! and the Samurai Sword when he and Shaggy swim through the Gate of Water on their way to meeting the Green Dragon, and Scooby-Doo: Camp Scare when he goes diving in the lake (with a snorkel but no oxygen tank) and stays under for a while before being chased out by the Fishman.
The series Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated provides an explanation for why he has this in the episode "The Siren Depths." Apparently, he and Shaggy have trained themselves to hold their breath while eating so they can inhale large amounts of food in place of air.
Interestingly enough, he has the Underwater Swimming Ability in LEGO Dimensions.

A few of the children in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children display this. Emma in particular can manipulate air, and even create Oxygenated Underwater Bubbles.

Ojarumaru:
In 22nd series episode 25, Denbo, Kame, and Tome spend quite some time in the Moonlit Night Pond searching for Great King Enma's scepter with no effect other than echoey underwater voices. Denbo is only equipped with a small straw, which somehow allows him to breathe air deep in the pond. Somewhat justified with Kame and Tome as some turtle species can spend longs periods of time underwater by absorbing oxygen from the water.
A great portion of 23rd series episode 32 takes place in the ocean with the Sannin Taro not having any difficulty breathing.

Final Fantasy:
While you can't swim in Final Fantasy V, you do need to walk through flooded sections within the ship graveyard. There's no time limit in these sections, so you can stay underwater indefinitely. Weirdly, a later section does have a time limit to get to the bottom of a submerged tower before you drown.
In Final Fantasy VI, a diving helmet is needed to access an ocean path. But only one is needed or found for the whole party, and no explanation is given of its functionality without other supporting equipment. The GBA port includes a boss battle underwater with 4 characters and said mining helmet probably being lost at that point.
Tidus, and all other blitzball players, in Final Fantasy X can all hold their breath for at least five minutes - the length of each game's half. However, they (and Rikku, though she is a mechanist and might possess a rebreather) also go into underwater levels in Gagazet which seem to take much longer than that. Even Yuna seems to be able to in the Macalania Springs scene. Handwaved with the explanation that the water used in blitzball arenas is infused with pyreflies, magical Soul Jars that figure heavily into the game's world; the rest is all training. One NPC says that the best blitzball players can even sleep underwater.

In Courage the Cowardly Dog, the titular character seems to have an impressive lung capacity, perhaps as a Required Secondary Power to his Overly Long Scream. Examples of this in action include "King Ramses' Curse" when he swims from the attic to the basement to drain the water out of the flooding house, and "Bride of the Swamp Monster" when he watches the reunion between the titular monsters, holding his breath the entire time.

Just like the 2D games, the show did at least one entire episode set underwater with the cast suffering no apparent breathing problems (or the Princess's hair even floating upward), and even holding conversations. Oddly enough, a later episode on follow-up series The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 had Mario almost drown when one of the Doomsub's lasers zapped him. Luigi immediately lampshaded this, saying that Mario swims better than most fish.

Game of Thrones has a few examples.
In a sixth season Arya-centric episode, she escapes an attacker by swimming away underwater far enough that the attacker can't find her. Aggravated by the fact that she was stabbed in the belly 4-5 times before pushing away the attacker and jumping in the water.
Similarly, Jaime Lannister, who was charging a dragon with a lance, was saved by Bronn by tackling him into the water. Both of them were armored, but despite this apparently they could swim well enough. Also they were apparently pretty good at holding their breath, because by the time they resurfaced both armies were far away, which should take an hour or two.
Jon Snow had pretty much an identical scenario. But he fell in freezing water and stayed underwater until almost the whole undead army passed, with only a few stragglers remaining. He even had strength to fight them off with help and to ride away.

Sonic the Hedgehog:
Normally Sonic either dies instantly upon hitting water, or can only last about thirty seconds underwater before drowning, unless he breathes in a large air bubble to reset the counter. However, obtain a Bubble Shield in Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic can stay underwater without worrying at all about air as long as he keeps the shield. Having Cream as his partner character in Sonic Advance 3 also puts Sonic inside of an air bubble while he's underwater, preventing him from drowning. Bafflingly, he doesn't have any trouble breathing in space regardless.
In earlier games, even the otherwise-completely-invulnerable Super Sonic can die by drowning. Hyper Sonic can breathe underwater, at least. Sonic the Hedgehog 4 finally gave Super Sonic the ability to stay underwater for as long as his rings held out.
In Sonic Adventure 2, Knuckles can breathe underwater indefinitely after getting the Air Necklace. Although referred to as a necklace, it appears to be a small oxygen tank.

The Incredible Hulk: According to his profile on Marvel.com, The Incredible Hulk requires very, very little oxygen to function. This is part of the reason he can function in space by holding his breath, but even more amazing is that he has developed an organ that fills his lungs with a breathable fluorocarbon liquid in cases where he is deprived of oxygen! How about that?

Ninja Gaiden II on Xbox 360 sometimes requires Ryu to swim through tunnels. Sometimes, he even has to fight enemies down there. Amazingly, he will stay under the surface as long as you want. Which is good, because the game can be excruciatingly difficult otherwise, and we really don't need more than that, now do we?

In SoulBlazer you cannot enter the underwater level until you get the Bubble Armor first, which surrounds you in a magically maintained bubble of air. Apparently the air is also kept fresh and somehow you are still able to fight with a sword without popping it.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night: Alucard takes damage simply from touching water from the beginning of the game until you grab the Holy Symbol, which looks suspiciously like a snorkel. After this, you can stay underwater as long as you want. Justified because Alucard is half-vampire and, as per traditional folklore, running water is hazardous to him. He takes the same damage from a puddle as he does when 30 feet underwater, and the lack of oxygen appears to be of no concern.

Perfect World:
Justified for the Tideborn race, played straight for all five of the other races of playable characters - nobody takes damage underwater unless attacked by monsters (or other players who happen to be in PK mode).
In-game story text reveals that Super Not-Drowning Skills are also justified for mixed-race individuals with half or more of their genetics being Tideborn. Early in the Morai questline, the player meets a couple that consists of an Earthguard man and a Tideborn woman, respectively named Situ and Huazen, and the elder of their two daughters, Little Leaf. The questline takes a shocking turn when the player character finds the corpse of the younger daughter, Little Yetz, at the bottom of a lake near where the family is currently living. The PC's first thought as to the cause of Little Yetz's death is accidental drowning, but a heartbroken Situ angrily cries, "My daughter is half-Tideborn! She couldn't have drowned!" A shape-shifting Chigo, the Serpent Emperor strangled her to death after she had been tricked into harvesting the coveted Immortality Fruit and dumped her body in the lake.

The Crocodile God: The Filipino sea-god Haik has children with the human Mirasol, who can swim in lethal conditions like monsoons or shark-infested waters... starting from infancy (for their older daughter) or early childhood (for their son). And that's without Animorphism. Justified since Haik is the title's crocodile-god of the seafaring Tagalog tribe, and in the story, he's also descended from outright Born Under the Sail Polynesians. It's also noted that their Semi-Divine children were supposed to be full deities before an angry Spaniard shot the pregnant Mirasol, which sent Haik over the Despair Event Horizon. (Their stillborn daughter was born as an extremely tiny whale-calf.) Becomes a Downplayed Trope near the end of the story—it's stated that Filipino gods can be killed, and even Haik would drown eventually. The trick is that he can sail back to the mortal realm. He is also not immune to getting eaten by sea-creatures BEFORE drowning.

Highlighted in the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Kenny The Cat". Kenny becomes a celebrity in Bikini Bottom due to his breath-holding abilities. However, he later proves to be a Broken Pedestal by breathing into an oxygen tank stored in his fur coat, to the dismay of SpongeBob and his other fans.
A straighter, more baffling example is Sandy's ancestor, the Dark Knight, who doesn't wear a deep-sea diving suit like her descendant and yet is somehow able to survive underwater.
In another inversion, in the episode Pressure, Sandy bets that the rest of the gang can't stand one minute on dry land before asphyxiating. Not only do they manage to accomplish this feat with relative ease, but they also become live-action puppets once breaching the surface. Their celebration is short-lived, however, when they are attacked by seagulls. In an earlier scene, Sandy herself discards her suit and helmet while on an ego trip and nearly starts to drown before scrambling for a pickle jar with an air pocket in it.

The Sponge Bob Movie Sponge Out Of Water has Super Not-Asphyxiating Skills. The gang seems to function perfectly fine above water in spite of not being able to breathe air (though this does make sense for Sandy and Mr. Krabs — note that the former doesn't seem to be wearing her helmet). It turns out that Bubbles the dolphin granted them these skills as a reward for causing him to lose his job (he never liked his job as the protector of the universe, but he never had the courage to quit, either)

Thunder Hoop have the underwater levels where your titular character dives into the depths of the sewers and goes around blasting enemies left and right, where he can stay underwater for as long as he like without any problems. What's even better is that Thunder Hoop needs to shout, "Yep! Yep! Yep!" to fire his Hand Blast; and he can continually do so while submerged a few hundred meters below the surface, never mind he's gulping down mouthfuls of sewage with each "Yep!"

The main characters of Spelunky and Spelunky 2 are able to stay in deep pools of water for extended periods of time without taking any damage and so can damsels (who can even scream for help underwater), cavemen, hired hands and almost everyone else, despite having no visible breathing apparatus. One of unlockable characters even is stuck in a coffin underwater, waiting to be released. Interestingly, spiders do not possess non-drowing skills, a spider falling in water will die instantly. On the other side of the water surface, piranha that find themselves out of water because of water being removed instead die and get skeletonized instantly. Of course, oxygen is the least of Spelunky Guy's worries underwater... The only reason the player character can die in bottomless pools in 2 is because of tentacles dragging them off to the depths.

Cult of the Lamb: By all indications, the Anchordeep stage takes place entirely underwater. Despite this, neither the Lamb, nor the cultist enemies (who are established to be Funny Animals like the Lamb's own cultists) seem bothered about drowning or swimming. It becomes even more jarring when individual rooms include both cultist enemies who behave like they are on dry land and aquatic enemies like jellyfishes who behave like they are underwater.

In Return to Monkey Island, he's down to eight minutes (which he attributes to being a bit past his prime), with a timer popping up whenever you're underwater. If you let the time run out, you return to the Framing Device (Guybrush telling the story to his son) and it's pointed out that he can't have died there if he's alive now. Guybrush admits to stretching the truth... but let the timer run out three times and you'll cut to an empty bench and some narration stating that Guybrush really did die and never had any children.

Final Fantasy requires you, at one point, to travel into an underwater shrine. Before you can go about doing that, you need to buy a bottled fairy and release her, then find her so she can give you the Oxyale relic that supplies your party with oxygen.
Final Fantasy Dimensions makes a lot of references to other games in the franchise. FFI's fairy makes a return when the characters need to visit an underwater dungeon. She's being held captive in a bottle and needs to be freed, and gives you the Bubbly Water key item so you can breathe underwater.
Whilst fighting Emerald WEAPON in Final Fantasy VII, the party normally has a twenty minute time limit. However, equipping the "Underwater" Materia on a character will replace the time limit with Super Not Drowning Skills. However, this doesn't explain how the other two characters in the party can breathe indefinitely.
In the Final Fantasy XIV expansion Stormblood, the player character and two of his/her allies undergo a magic ritual performed by the turtle-like Kojin that blesses them with the ability to breathe water as if it were air.
World of Final Fantasy has a bit of fun with it. When Lann and Reynn need to visit a sunken temple they enlist the help of Shantotto to cast a water breathing spell on them. Unfortunately being Shantotto, her method is to curse them and the result is that they can then ONLY breathe in water. Luckily she also has an antidote she's willing to share if you bring her back an item from the temple while you're there.

While you can't swim in Final Fantasy V, you do need to walk through flooded sections within the ship graveyard. There's no time limit in these sections, so you can stay underwater indefinitely. Weirdly, a later section does have a time limit to get to the bottom of a submerged tower before you drown.

Tidus, and all other blitzball players, in Final Fantasy X can all hold their breath for at least five minutes - the length of each game's half. However, they (and Rikku, though she is a mechanist and might possess a rebreather) also go into underwater levels in Gagazet which seem to take much longer than that. Even Yuna seems to be able to in the Macalania Springs scene. Handwaved with the explanation that the water used in blitzball arenas is infused with pyreflies, magical Soul Jars that figure heavily into the game's world; the rest is all training. One NPC says that the best blitzball players can even sleep underwater.

Super Mario Galaxy features the exact opposite. Mario can breathe in space, but not underwater. This may be justified in that he spends the game with a mystical star child beneath his hat, whose specific purpose is to help him travel the stars. Though this doesn't explain how other NPCs like the Toad Brigade can breathe.

World of Final Fantasy has a bit of fun with it. When Lann and Reynn need to visit a sunken temple they enlist the help of Shantotto to cast a water breathing spell on them. Unfortunately being Shantotto, her method is to curse them and the result is that they can then ONLY breathe in water. Luckily she also has an antidote she's willing to share if you bring her back an item from the temple while you're there.

There's a few lengthy underwater scenes (or at least mentions of how long they're underwater) in Dragon Ball and Z. It's kinda-justified for the Saiyans who can apparently hold their breath a VERY long time (including apparently being able to fight and, somehow, talk, in low orbit of a planet, at least for a while) but not so much the couple of humans like Krillin who get in on the action.

In Rise of the Tomb Raider, Lara can get an air rebreather for swimming long paths. The point is that now the player's oxygen reserve is limitless: you can stay indefinitely underwater. And you don't have a portable air supply, meaning you're basically rebreathing your initial gasp.

The Avengers have also gone underwater with no gear before, courtesy of Sersi using her matter-rearranging powers to turn them into water-breathers. This was crazy enough that even the characters remarked on it, but as the Beast pointed out, she does that kind of thing.

In Police Quest 2: The Vengeance, as befitting such a realistic game, going underwater requires you to wear a whole range of Scuba gear, including a wetsuit, fins, goggles, a weighted belt, and an oxygen tank. If you forget to pick up an item, you will not be able to dive. Additionally, you must inspect all available oxygen tanks and pick the one with the most oxygen remaining, or you could easily drown before completing the underwater task!

Garrett from the Thief series can, in the first two games, hold his breath and swim around underwater for a decent amount of time. This is despite him carrying a sword, a bow, arrows, other thief tools and loot he may have collected. It doesn't hold true for the third game where, due to engine limitations, falling in water results in instant death.

Trine initially averts this trope, with all three playable characters having their own oxygen meters that only reset when you get air—switching to another character nets another full air meter, but switching back to the original character keeps his/her oxygen meter where it was when they were switched out. However, a magic item later on in the game allows one character to play this trope straight - as long as the item is equipped on that character, they can swim underwater indefinitely.

Misty is hinted to have this no less than twice in Pokémon: The Series:
Apparently, a mermaid costume gives you such skills automatically in the Pokéverse, as "The Misty Mermaid" was more than happy to demonstrate.
More notoriously, the Pokémon Chronicles episode "Cerulean Blues" got pretty blatant about it. When three brothers who are battling Misty to challenge her position as Cerulean City Gym Leader are disqualified for fighting unfair, they begin to attack her Gyarados, which is in a cage as it was out of control throughout the episode. Misty immediately dives down to help Gyarados, taking the full blast of the attacks directed at Gyarados and quickly losing consciousness in a matter of seconds. Gyarados, seeing this, desperately tries to escape and save her, while the three brothers show absolutely no concern that their Pokémon are potentially drowning another person. Gyarados, of course, breaks free of its cage, and rushes Misty to the surface, where she awakens, despite no CPR, and the fight resumes. That's not the end of it, though! Misty is immediately submerged yet again, likely without enough time to draw another breath, and—get this—talks CLEARLY underwater, giving Gyarados commands for attack—twice! There's no distortion or gurgling effect at all!note Or any bubbles, for that matter. Then she's back out of the water, completely fine. No coughing or anything. Our Mermaids Are Different, indeed. It would seem they don't call her the Tomboyish Mermaid for nothing.

If he falls into water, his material form is instantly destroyed and he falls into the spirit world. His brother Rahab, however, evolves an immunity to water, and Raziel gains this ability when he reaves Rahab's soul. Being Dead to Begin With, he has no need to breathe and can swim indefinitely.

In Dr. Franklin's Island, Semi and Miranda are presented with the "choice" (they can't opt for no) to become a girl who can fly or a girl who can breathe underwater, one available slot each. Semi chooses the latter, and undergoes a Slow Transformation into a gilled creature resembling a manta ray, which of course can't breathe air. When at the end of the book she takes the reversal agent and changes back into a mostly human form it takes a while for the change to complete, and for some time afterwards she still has gills and can breathe in the ocean.

At one point in Digimon Tamers' Digital World arc, Takato and Henry are forced to swim through an underwater cavern, at which point they discover that since they're being rendered in a Virtual Reality they don't need to breathe at all.

Freedom Planet forces the protagonists to hold their breath if they go underwater. The water dragon Lilac can hold her breath the longest of the group, and there's a Bubble Shield which negates even that requirement, even when Brevon cuts the oxygen to the Final Dreadnought.

Oriental Legend have a stage in the depths of the Heavenly Reaching River, where the player starts off by walking into the water and spends the whole level kicking ass while on the riverbed. Even players who use Sun Wukong have no issues fighting underwater, since the game gave him an Adaptational Badass by removing his crippling weakness to water.

Scion has an interesting relationship with this trope. Scions with Epic Stamina can hold their breath for longer than mere mortals can — potentially for several years at God levels. The Water purview allows a Scion to breathe water (and the Fire and Earth purviews let them breathe in spite of smoke or burial, respectively). However, there is specifically no power that frees a Scion from needing to breathe at all, as breathing is an inherently human trait that anchors Scions and the Gods to humanity, unlike the Titans.

In Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Miriam can swim underwater via jet propulsion once she gets the Aqua Stream directional shard, or simply move underwater normally once she gets the Deep Sinker skill shard and has it active. In both instances she can stay underwater as long as she wants without penalties of any sort.

In Alien: Resurrection, the characters hold their breaths for five minutes in the underwater scene. It's especially silly in Christie's case, since he's carrying someone else on his back as well. Justified for Call, since she's an android, and possibly Ripley, depending on how much her physiology was altered by mixing with the Aliens' DNA (who do just fine underwater).

StarCraft II has multiplayer maps set underwater, with none of the playable races affected by it in the slightest. The Terrans can be explained by having air-tight Power Armor and vehicles that are also capable of functioning in space. The Zerg are a race known for mutating to quickly adapt to new environments, so they likely just grew gills. The Protoss absorb the water they need to survive through their skin, and Dragoon/Immortal pilots are aliens in the machine kept in fluid-filled People Jars, so it's entirely likely that their life support systems supply their oxygen regardless.

Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?: While the first game treats water as a Bottomless Pit, the second game has a stage set entirely underwater, and our Prinny can stay down there for as long as he likes (barring the time limit, obviously). It's outright justified as Prinnies are the souls of criminals animating suits that lack organs, so the need to breathe isn't present. Other characters in this stage are depicted as wearing diving gear (minus wandering gag character Haldi, whom can be battled here if the stage is chosen third). In the same game's "Asagi Wars" campaign, Prinny Asagi is also able to breathe underwater indefinitely, and her opponent is an 8-bit version of herself whom likely doesn't need to breathe as well.

Fantastic Four:
The Thing, a frequent rival of the Hulk, can hold his breath indefinitely. His endurance isn't on the same level since he'll eventually use up all of the oxygen, but that takes him quite a while and his super-tough stonelike body can withstand immense pressure in even the deepest parts of the ocean.
Marvel comics characters who fight the Sub-Mariner often get in extended underwater battles. This is especially true for the Fantastic Four; Ben can hold his breath for nearly ten minutes, but the others usually need Reed to invent something for them. It's taken to ridiculous extremes in one episode of Fantastic Four: The Animated Series, where Reed comes up with an "oxygenating spray" that lets them breathe without any gear (and survive deep-sea pressure, apparently) for three hours. He also makes it possible for the Torch to burn underwater... with a wristband. And, in fact, the show did not invent anything here. The "oxygenating spray" and the Torch burning underwater (albeit not the wristband) were created during the Lee-Kirby era, in the comic book that episode was based from.

Metroid: The games allow Samus to stay underwater for any duration she wants, without drowning, thanks to her Power Suit. If she can walk in space without dying, why should water stop her? However, movement and visibility in water are both highly limited, until one receives the Gravity Suit, at which point the water's actually just there to look fancy. Or in the case of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, to let Samus have better maneuverability than anywhere else.

In Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, you can ride on the back of your Pokémon at the bottom of the sea with the HM Dive and have no problem staying there for hours without any gear and your Pokemon have no problem battling underwater either, even Pokemon like Charmander, which supposedly dies if the flame on its tail goes out.

In Dragon Steel, the second book of Laurence Yep's Dragon Series, dragons can breathe and move underwater as easily as they can in air or on land. Humans visiting the dragon kingdom, however, need an enchanted pearl to allow them to breathe and talk while under the sea. It also keeps them warm and prevents the crushing pressure at the bottom of the ocean from killing them. There are ordinary humans who have spent their whole lives—birth to old age to death—living at the bottom of the ocean.

In Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], Sora and the Dream Eaters don't have any issues breathing under the ocean in the aquatic section of the Prankster's Paradise and move about as though they're on the land, albeit with lower gravity. The former doesn't question why he's able to do this, either.
In Kingdom Hearts III, Sora regains the ability to hold his breath indefinitely while in The Caribbean, and this time, Donald and Goofy (but not Jack Sparrow) can hold their breaths as well. It may be justified, as Calypso was aiding them.

Kingdom Hearts:
In Atlantica, the characters are transformed into underwater creatures by Donald.
In Chain of Memories, the characters don't transform and briefly ponder why they appear to be underwater without a need to breathe. Yet they don't try to swim or wonder why there is apparently no water resistance to their movements. Either way, they're just visiting a realm constructed by Sora's memories of that world.

In a very bizarre episode of The Little Mermaid (1992), thawed dinosaurs have no trouble doing their regular stuff underwater. No, these aren't marine reptiles, which a lot of people think are dinosaurs — it's T. rex and the gang! And no, they aren't "magical" like the mermaids, either.
A different, but no less bizarre episode featured a pair of alligators that could breathe underwater just fine (while real alligators can hold their breath for a long time, they still need to breathe air), but for no explainable reason were unable to swim and therefore had to walk along the bottom as if they were on land. Ariel was forced to become an acrophobic fish to make them even slightly threatening.
In the first episode Ariel brings home a baby killer whale and hides it in her room. For three months. Either the whale never needed to leave the room for air, or somehow no one noticed it going up to the surface every 5-15 minutes.

Theta vs Pi 7 protagonist Theta never had to come up for air. A probably justifiable example since not being a human, an animal or having a nose or mouth it's entirely possible Theta (literally the Greek letter theta) doesn't need to breathe normally.

In the first Rayman, the main character instantly drowned when he fell in water. In Rayman 2: The Great Escape, he can swim in every direction, but can only breathe for about 10 seconds unless assisted by Blue Lums or Carmen the Whale's air bubbles. In Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, diving is disabled outside of designated on-rail sections where he has unlimited air. In Rayman Origins and Legends, every playable character can breathe underwater. Suspension of disbelief could be applied in Origins considering the characters are all inexplicable fantasy creatures, but that comes to a halt in Legends with the conception of the new playable heroine Barbara, who is obviously human.

Water doesn't inconvenience the player character at all in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, thanks to them being physically dead. The Lampshade Hanging comes in one of the final levels, when you infiltrate the Hunters' base and can overhear two of them discussing an underwater passage, to which one remarks, "I can't imagine any man holding his breath for so long," and the other says, "It's not mortal men that should be our concern." It is a great help when infiltrating the local Absurdly-Spacious Sewer, though it becomes a double-edged sword if their poor choices get them tied up and dumped into the ocean.

Fighting Fantasy: In Titan, the underwater races came about because of this trope. Hydana, the god of the waters, got bored just hanging out with the fish and other sea creatures, and started kidnapping humans to join him under the waves. When he realized that the humans were drowning after he took them underwater, he used his powers to turn their lungs into gills, and they eventually turned into the Mermen. Hydana would later repeat this feat with elves, trolls and giants, who all became aquatic equivalents of their land-dwelling kin as well.
