Enough for fifteen minutes diving, and even that was stretching precious time for dives to one hundred and forty feet.
Cussler has got something screwed up here. Pitt is wearing two tanks - which is more than 15 minutes of air.
But, in no way could he dive down to one hundred and forty feet in just fifteen minutes. The maximum depth for sports divers is 60 feet, after that there is nitrogen narcosis (the bends) especially if you dive down to 140 feet, so he'd have to do decompression stops on the way up.
