Don't feel bad. Before I got SH 4, I toyed around with SH 3. I had a tragically short career in a type II u-boat. I took it under for a test dive at some nice deep spot, like you did. My thinking was that since I could go a lot deeper in SH 1, than the test depth, I should be able to do the same in a type II. I figured there was little danger because surely there would be lots of warning signs of impending hull failure........ Well, turns out not so much. The last thing me and my happless crew were aware of were lights going out and circuits shorting.
