I like informed consent.
It is not clear to me whether the shop owner and some buddies did this dive or whether the shop owner took a bunch of his sudents/clients on this dive. The first is informed consent. The second might be something else if that is what happened. Rightly or wrongly newer divers will believe if their shop is doing it then it must be a safe thing to do. That I think would be wrong.

Having learned SCUBA diving long ago, I forget that dive planning now is well past OW if taught at all before tech. I'll try to restrain my comments next time.

Historically, I always thought that it was not prudent of Bret Gilliam to report his 400 foot single 80 dive in the Tongue in Sport Diver Magazine. I have since come to believe that we are all given tools to dive safely, and if Darwin happens, so be it. It's removal of the weakest from the gene pool. YMMV.
I think I would be more worried about the scooter functioning, than air supply. If you run low on air, you could rest on the surface on the wreck and then make the return trip, extra shallow (to accomodate a low air supply). If a scooter dies and puts you into a position of swimming a scooter 2000 ft... with traffic on the surface... that's not fun..even with a 3 tanks and a lot of air.
