If you're on the bridge, you can use the UZO but you won't be able to dive (or access the hatch.) And if you're inside the sub, you have to use one of the periscopes since you can't access the bridge.

I posted this in the bugs & glitches thread a few days back. As in SH3 (and probably 4, but don't have it), the game considers the boat 'underwater' once you go past 6-and-a-bit metres, hence not being able to open the hatch. Also the reason all the watch crew disappear from their posts.
You'll see the icon in the top-right to show the status of the boat as being underwater. I'll bet that ships won't be able to spot the conning tower either, even at close range, since your are officially 'underwater', so might be a small exploit.
I'm sure it's easy to mod the depth at which the boat is 'underwater', since it was done for SH3, but may have other knock-on effects. For example, it might mean that you are no more hidden from ships' visual sensors at decks awash than when fully surfaced.
Just a limitation of the game, and not a new one. Hopefully it can be modded in future, to give an additional 'state' for your boat (something in between surfaced or submerged) that affects enemy sensors realistically.
