I think that you can go as deep as you like. Just be wary once you get blow 220. Usually though the crew will tell you "we're taking damage sir". And if you aren't being DCed at that moment then you know its the depth.

I agree with that - i'm skippering a VIIC at present and I regularly take her down to 220m to escape the escorts. This is with no damage though, so equivalent of 100% hull integrity. I've imploded with what I thought was "light" damage at 190 meters though - so be very wary how deep you want to tread after you have taken some blows.
