I have zero sympathy for people who get sunk in shallow water. They flat out deserve it (and, yes, I have always deserved it).
The U-boat's only advantage is its ability to work in a 3-dimensional space. When you go into 30 m waters, you've just made yourself a very slow Elco torpedo boat that can be found and sunk by a wet-behind-the-ears midshipman.
In real life, the first question a board of inquiry would pose is not "How did you get out of it," but "Why did you let yourself into that situation?"
