That's understandable, because at crash dive you pass 20m with maximal speed and planes set for diving.
But if you order to dive to 20m, when you get near that depth, the sub will considerably slow its descend. That's why it takes longer.
Try setting some other depth, then see how long will it take to reach 20m. I tested it for 15m, with VIIC. Crash dive took 36s, normal dive at flank speed 39s. Before diving, I was going at 10kt in all tests.
