I can't find it for the life of me, but there is a depth at which stock SH3 depth charges "unspawn". But it is irrelevant, because it is beyond the crush depth of any of our subs.
No idea if that is hard coded and, if not, whether it was modded by GWX or NYGM to better simulate the development of technology. (and I actually don't want to know... the game is more fun for me if I don't know every twist the modders added, peace be upon them!)
My own, purely subjective, "feeling" is that inexperienced AI crews rarely toss depth charges to explode deeper than about 125 m. As the war goes on and the AI crews get better, they can and do happily send them down to crush depth.
