In theory. the Decoys are meant to cloud the use of asdic or decoy approaching units into thinking the decoy is you while you safely withdraw. Generally, it both attracts attention and prevents prosecution of a target, in this case you and your sub.
In practice, if you move away and waters are deep enough and you increase your depth, you can use the thermocline water layers which seem to work if the waters are warm or it is daylight where solar radiation has heated the surface. Use a decoy , Interpose it between you and the pursuing units, submerge as deep as you safely can and initiate silent running
The Thermocline water layers Is essentially where temperatures decrease as an object, in this case a sub, increases it's depth .

Colder or cooler water traps sound which can prevent your detection from the surface somewhat.
Hope that helps.
Good luck.
