devote all your time to recognizing how your unit is working:
- sound of solenoid firing, or sound of continuous flow of O2 (on mCCR)
- sound of gas swooshing in (with solenoid firing)
- sound of the gurgling to start in your hoses after a certain amount of time
- how long between solenoid firing for different exertion level
- how close is the set-point being kept
- etc and etc
There is no fix duration of time as people are all different.

P.S i use my unit for all my diving, regardles if it's 10m or 90m. It's just a peice of diving equipment and i enjoy it much more than diving OC. Learn how to use it, what it's doing and when it should be doing certain things. Then it does become second nature and i find it no more time consuming or complicated than a dive on OC. Some people like to make it out as if it's piloting a space shuttle or really techey and complicated, but it aint. Granted some people are not suited to CCR, but i would sugest certain people should not be in the water full stop. If you feel totaly comfortable in the water and at ease you should take to CCR without any problems.
