Variable blast ...

What was common wisdom on that debate?

Go deep, diminishes the blast and lowers the chance of a hit. However, if hit, it would be catastrophic.

Go shallow, increases the chance of hit. However, with less water pressure, leaking is not nearly as severe.

Myself I have always opted for the deep ... of the school of thought that the DC needs about 45-60 seconds to reach you. I saw an explanation somewhere that going to flank at that depth allows just enough time to get your boat clear of the DCs if well placed.
