Someone else on the same dive will...

    Deeper Wreck Diving in Oahu?

    Deep air dives are generally accepted here due to dive conditions, warm water, 200-300 vis, light currents. If diving over 200 hylium is available, there is also the 400 foot (long) wreck off of Maile by the shark cave but no charters going there (that I know of)

    Thoughts on whole dive group surfacing when one of the group reaches 1000psi

    Every time I've dove the back wall as a recreational dive it was at 90fsw, which if dove on tables gives you 25 minutes surface to surface, if your on computer and nitrox of course you'll have a better ndl, there are really just so many variables in this dive that no one can really judge one way...

    Koolina wrecks?

    If your talking about "airplane engine", its an old zero engine, the map has it in the wrong place probably so no one disturbs it, it was once an intact zero with human remains, most people don't dive those out of respect for the dead, you can barely even tell they are engines anyway. Looks like...
