You have to be at 0 knots go down to about 3 or 4 feet or so from the ocean floor then hit a depth around 25-30 feet deeper. I tested this in port on my last post, since you're already at 0kts and in shallow water. I watched on external cam and when the boat "settled" you could still see a small gap between the ocean floor and the keel, but no matter how much deeper I set to dive, the boat just sat there. I could tell it was in a dive because the dive planes were down. It showed that in the control room also.

Second question, I believe the answer is no.
