I do not think so. There is lot of soil separating atmosphere and
 limestone and there is lot of soil gas.
Additionally, there is diffusion of dissolved  gases into

There was an  explicit report one diver died along the back route
after transporting some oxygen tanks. The gas tube would be nice
 to have, but I suppose it would extremely difficult to transport
 all the length.
