I'd like to add something that usually works for me in shallow waters, or those occasions where the water is deep but you can't reach a safer depth in time:

You can go to flank when you hear that DE rumble overhead. You will be in their baffles for a short time, but more importantly, you will need that speed to turn sharp and try to avoid the depth charges that are coming your way. Go flank, make a good hard turn and then center the rudder. Stay at flank until the last charge goes off (hopefully it goes off well behind you). Then go right back to 1 knot and stay nice and quiet like before. Repeat as necessary.
