- Always sweep the area and sky with the observation scope before surfacing. Partiucarlly if 1943 onward, or somewere along the US east coast, carribean, or freetown. Nothing quite like surfacing infront of a PBY or sunderland, - and yes, your "timing" can be THAT ROTTEN. Its happend to me at least twice. Hydrophone check coulnd't hurt either if the area is well patroled.

One small addition to this excellent advice: When surfacing set speed to flank or full; wait a few minutes afterwards before reducing speed. Saved my boat two patrols ago.
