I agree not having a clear indication of the sea bottom depth is a problem.
Perhaps not limiting the Conditions Tab to 1000 ft? Making that screen scrollable or rescalable? Although the tactical map has some color gradation on it, too hard to interpret. Other sims have done this with a mouse over on the map.

I can see why a depth echo return would be hazardous when the game is designed to place you within 12 miles of the enemy, but accurate and detailed depth maps is key to survival of any vessel at sea.
