Default Why I don't play SH5 can't dive crew on deck

It's the most non intuitive sub game I've ever played. The most simple tasks elude me. How the heck do I even dive? I hit the command dive (V) and a message says crew on deck. Where is the command to tell the crew to go below? This is the most POS SUB game. SH4 is so simple compared. WTH am I missing?

Crew on Deck mean, you are on deck und must go downstairs inside the sub.

Thanks! Now I remember why I hate this game so much, always first person stuff and trying to find the right icons to press. I 'm looking through the periscope with it up now, how do I move away from the periscope? Okay nevermind, external camera....... geez what a mess this game is.

Unmodded, this game is an abomination that should be banished back to the depths it surfaced from. Modded, it's a surprisingly immersive and great looking submarine simulation.

Catches me out from time to time.
Looking at the map........... Plane Spotted.......
Give the coommand to dive.
Watching the plane get closer and closer.....
Start taking damage, and then realise I'm still topside.
