If I went in a cave, I'd probably strap a secondary unit on a scooter, or 
design a smaller chest-mounted push-pull breathing loop for a 
closed-circuit bailout. But of course, it is a rhetorical question 
because I do not go in caves.

Let's see - 10 seconds every 15 minutes...O.K., I'll give you 15 seconds 
every 15 minutes to make the math easier.  That means I spend 1/60th of 
the time "playing with the machine", and 59/60ths of the time catching 
fishes.  Not a bad ratio, I think.
