A good thing to remember while evading is to make sure you show a small profile to the destroyer. What that means is try to stay facing directly towards or away from the searching destroyer, so that you present a smaller surface for his ASDIC pings to bounce off of.

A lot of people will tell you to immediately dive as deep as you can after taking a shot at a convoy. This, in my opinion, is wrong. Dive dynamically so that you don't lose time. Take her down to 50 meters. If you feel like they still have a lock on your position, go deeper in 25 to 50 meter increments until you lose them. Remember you're for all intents and purposes blind and lame while submerged. The longer you stay down, the chances of getting a second shot on the convoy decrease.
