Good advise RR, I remember seeing this same advise in one of your videos and have "never" had a problem with airplanes in TMO by following this advise. One problem I had early in my careers was cruising at too high of a TC rate and allowing the planes to get inside that 5 mile circle before TC reset to normal, not allowing enough time to know what was happening and get to below 100'.

One other problem I had early was not going to 100'+ and allowing the planes to see me at periscope depth, planes do see you so get deep. But don't waste time going to 450' it is a waste of time, 100+ works just as well and saves time on going down and up.
