Not any need to go deeper, but you can by using just the D key, then level off, but the sub is hard to control at those depths.
I play with cams off so it can take some time to evade, but if you have them on, you can do so rather quickly.
If they ping, they have made contact, but Wernher is right, the better contact they have the faster and louder the ping. You can hear them go from long to short scale. The trick to keep them from shortscale is a narrow profile. I start turning when Im pinged, often I get narrow enough it stops. If one ship has a ping fix on you, really doesn't matter if others are listening, so I use speed, about 5 knts, then flank when he makes runs. When the pinging stops, I go silent and slow.
If they can't get a fix on you after so long, mods vary, they leave, so many goof by getting found out over and over and they continue the hunt.
The bigger issue is water conditions, with high waves they can't hear crap and you can quickly get out of their hunt zone with speed.
Wait until you run into several Type AB's hunting you at once...that's real fun.
