The oxygen in the air in the boat is a different story. Once you return to the surface and the hatches are opened, the oxygen is quickly replaced by exchange with the outside air. Takes a couple of minutes. Then you can dive again, but only until the oxygen level goes down to 17%. At that point, the crew has to get more oxygen, either from the tanks or from the atmosphere.
Though it should be noted that in real life renewing the boat internal atmosphere would typically take quite a bit more than the "couple of minutes" the game often displays. For realism sake I would suggest at least a quarter of an hour.
