You going in a set direction, at a set speed, and most likely won't change that very much in the time it takes a plane to turn and come back, or tell his buddies. So, at 3 knots or less, going North, in the ten minutes that passed, the plane probably had a really good fix on your location. Like they say about horse shoes and hand grenades, you only have to be sort-of close with a depth charge drop...
The seas were at 7m/s and I was on my way up when it happened. From his trajectory I would agree he went almost right over the top though. Not sure what I can do differently in future. I could try diving deeper in future if I think they are headed right over the top. Maybe a turn too?
