You're right, it is strange.
Luckily in a US Fleetboat we have air search radar that will give you plenty of warning of enemy aircraft.
I suppose it's possible to get caught during the day in an area where it's too shallow to submerge.
But a bit of forward planning by the captain should ensure this will not happen.
Think of the AA tutorial as a demonstration of how ineffective submarines are against aircraft
