Maybe you got unlucky and they managed to hit you from an estimated position.

Could be, but very unlikely since I sailed about one hour at -40 meters, and changed course as soon as I was around -15. The explosion occured when I went to periscope depth to check the sky before surface.
I guess mines are probably only in shallow waters, so does anyone know if there is a "safe depth" over which mines can't be layed?
