At some point you can release purpose built decoys which give off bubbles which can confuse the escort sonar operators.


The whole jettisoning debris tactic is probably a Hollywood invention. A few scraps of debris would do nothing to get the escorts off your back. The escort Captain would believe that he has damaged you, not killed you. Signs that a U-boat may be destroyed besides the obvious noises associated with a sub's hull collapsing were large air bubbles and large volumes of oil. This could not be replicated with a few scraps of debris.
