I do a complete crash dive, sometimes to 300, now and stay at flank for a few minutes just in case. I will wait to turn until submerged and depending how far away teh aircraft is. Getting caught on the surface by a Liberator is a BAD day in the making! I started noticing it in 1943.
i don't think you need to dive to 100m, but i would dive deeper than PD.
say, 40-50 m.
my SWAG is that the A/C are set to drop a torpedo to run at PD.

Depth charges are a different use case. not sure if they are dropped at variable depths.
