If I am near DDs, I only use it if I am detected sametime crashing dive in shallow waters. If you are away from white waters and locate into blue seas as you see yourself on map, then you do not need to use it.

Depth check
 
If you crash dive because you have been detected, it will not give away your position as they already know it. If you just like to ping the bottom for the hell of it, you deserve to be detected. You should know approximately the depth before you stalk the enemy.
I use set keys to give me the depth whenever I crash dive.

yeah something similar happended to me i was tracing DD that while submerged i knew its heading but needed to know its range i pinged once and it was 2500 away from me,it never pinged me once past straight over me and DC me to hell so it does give away ya position, i think it would be the same with a depth check.

Isn't an echolot something that fires a ping straight down and then waits for it to return up? How would that give your position away? Is it the return ping that lets them find you?

:o You are kidding... right?
