The Admiralty introduced a minimum depth of fifty feet (fifteen meters) for deep charges to protect surface vessels dropping charges from explosion. Beginning in the summer of 1941, the Coast Command introduced fifty feet of bombs dropped from aircraft until a hydrostatic detonator was deployed to a depth of twenty-five feet.
I will look for more information.
