That's what I've been doing so far and we were disappearing from "my" view in 25-28 seconds, which sounds about right for a VII? But I will have to test it looking at the depth meter to be sure. That sounds like it's a bit too quick for such an inexperienced crew, or maybe I just got lucky with these boys.

I've probably got a book somewhere that says "and the Type VII could disappear from the surface to 'X' meters in 'x' seconds, blah blah blah" which is why I'm thinking there was a "standard" expectation for crew/boat performance in a crash dive. I just can't remember the darn numbers, lol.
