If you order a greater depth in the first place (the 16 or 17m perhaps) then your boat will rise to ~14m. So order this depth when just diving and your speed is still high enough to press the boat deeper.
When you are already at 2kn or less you will be too slow to sink deeper and would have to speed up again first.

mfg, i.

Precicsley, just order your boat deeper!
