The only down side I've run into has been the Depth Dial needles showing the stocks Test Depth figure.....but as aanker points out, you can make them transparent within the Menu_1024_768.ini file.
Knowing the keyboard "A" key levels off the boat at whatever depth you're presently reading is important too (that's why you need to learn the keyboard layout!).
But, as I've said, don't expect to gain control of your boat easily if you started down at flank speed and but some ceiling over your head before trying to pull up. The game models the seas depth pressures very accurately. You'll find your controls become lethargic and expecting quick responses to your commands becomes unlikely. Once a certain depth is reached, even blowing the tanks won't save you.
