I remembered a scene from "Ice Station Zebra" where, faced with an uncontrolled dive by a bow torpedo tube open to the sea, they eject the ballast and make an emergency reverse gear. I don't know if I could have done anything else, but luckily and after repeating the maneuver three times, I managed to stabilize at 200 feet and as soon as the Japs left I came to the surface.

what i meant was: increase your speed and raise your depth simultaneously.
for example, you are severely damaged at 220 ft doing 1/3 speed.
as you repair your boat, you notice that you are diving past 300 ft.
set depth back to 200 and raise your speed a knot or two.
if the dive is not checked and you are not rising, keep adding speed until you rise in depth. as you get to 200-220, slow down, back to 1/3.
you may have to do this continually until you fix the flooding or escape and surface.
real immersion.
