My longest scuba dive so far was with my girlfriend in a German lake. There was nothing super spectacular, just some sea weed and some fishes but we spent there around 2.5 hours, floating around in the shallow water and enjoying the sun from underwater. Free diving definitely has advantages - especially because it requires almost no preparation, no need to carry around heavy stuff etc. but if you enjoy being weightless and giving your brain a little rest I'd recommend you to give scuba a try. It's both great! :)
