As the diesels would require air to function, they can only be used whilst submerged by fitting a Schnorkel. In real life U-boats ofen used electric (e-motors) motors whilst on the surface, such as when entering and leaving docking areas. But the choice of switching off the diesels and using the e-motors when running on the surface is something which as far as I know isn't moddled into the games software.
