@Stiebler: Good news: I was able to reconstruct direct pointers to the quick-dive tank and the crash-dive flag, so they both can easily be accessed & manipulated from the little controlling routine I programmed in sh3.exe for continuously watching/controlling multiple things (like snorkel speed restriction and so on). I don't have to patch Sh3Sim.act. So my fix will work very similar to yours, but without risking to write into wrong memory locations:

Immediately (or some seconds after) the crash-dive flag is set from 1 back to 0, I force q-d-tank=0,5 once.

And since the fix is active only in the special situation when crash-dive flag is switched from 1 back to 0, it won't affect other situations, e.g. when boat is surfaced.

That's it. Very optimistic that it will work.
