==Immune mobs==
[[Wither]]s and [[ender dragon]]s are [[effect#Immunity|immune]] to Water Breathing.

== Notes ==
[[Helmet]]s with the [[Respiration]] enchantment slow down oxygen depletion, granting an extra 15 seconds of underwater breath per level. However, this is not done through the Water Breathing effect.
