There really is no such thing as hiding on the bottom from active sonar. You can stop making noise but you'll show up on active sonar just as well as if you were NOT on the bottom and you will take damage from bottoming the boat.

That is realistic and corresponds to real life. "Hiding on the bottom" is movie fairy tales.
