At one point around the Marianas Tang took seawater in through a torpedotube in the forward torpedoroom. the imballance made the boat go down through 612 ft. for a while. They had no idea if they were then decending or rising. After a while it started moving back towords 600 ft.
Tang went to 500 ft. many times to duck under layers.
From reading the forums i come to belive that the Layer depth are hardcoded in some way, so we can not make them be deeper.

Interesting history this.
I'm not sure about the layer depth.
I made a test mission in the norwegian oslo fjord and I found that there the thermal layer was placed very shallow. Maybe at 15metres or so. I've read someting about a thermal layer randomizer which i guess in some way randomizes the thermal layers placements in campaing, but I havent tried it, though.
Might be that the placement is hardcoded.
But the thermal layer effect is definately moddable!
Happy hunting
