Last time I tried diving, enemy ships couldn't spot me and werent close enough. I dove and next thing I know it says I lost the game. Did I crash into the bottom? It didnt say I was in shallow water.

I am afraid of diving because of this and constantly stay at periscope depth rather than going any lower, also because I can not see anything at all.

Can someone please explain the dive mechanics so I can use a crash dive or regular dive? I haven't been depth charged once because I stick to periscope surface so Generally I get shelled to death rather than try and avoid depth charges. I would like to feel what its like to dodge depth charges, I think it would add a lot of fun to the game.

BTW this is my first sub sim, I understand the game is full of bugs, but I still find it fun.
