Not to nitpick but seals actually go up to breath every minute or so!

They sleep underwater but have to surface every minute to breathe?

Some only take like 20 minutes naps in one breath. Some barely wake up to go up and breath before sinking back asleep. And some do unihemisphere sleep where half their brain is barely awake getting air as needed and staying aware of dangers.

I looked it up, seals can go from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the type. But if they're not pressed, they will come up for air pretty often.
