Maybe the periscope height/depth has something to do with visibility from the air.
How much water does it take to hide a sub from AC?

No one can answer your question, I afraid. It depends on the situation: How clear is water, sea state and so on. For example Mediterrainian was really clear, so few meters would not make any difference. Also Nord Sea was pretty clear and I think so was actually the pacific too.
But basicly = more depth means more safe you are. Not only for visual sighting, but think also possiblity for collisions for example.
