In shallow waters and clear conditions I think it is possible in real life to occasionally simply see the submarine, especially from the air. Not sure if that would be the case in the Atlantic and 70m sounds pretty deep for this, though. And even if it was possible, I don't believe it's modelled.

Edit: I was thinking something along these lines. Those are in periscope depth, but you get the point.
