If you are diving, then surfacing, then diving without waiting for the boat to come up to 18 feet, then your dive times will be much faster.
If I perform a dive using the Balao from completely surfaced (18 feet keel) to Periscope depth (60 feet in the Balao,) it takes about 2 minutes 37 seconds (D key.) If I surface, then dive again while the keel depth is at 19 or 20, then the boat plunges to PD in about 55 seconds. That's a big difference. If I wait about 5 minutes (simulating low pressure blow?) then it again takes the full 2 minutes 37 seconds (D key) to PD. Crash Dives take about 1 minute 40 seconds to PD (60 feet) from 18 feet in a Balao Class.

Yes but my times are from fully surfaced at
15 feet. I then wait on another dive until the boat is at 15 feet once more. This is for Tambor and Gar.
