First off welcome to the forums papillonuk.
As donut stated this has been discussed at length several times. A search should reveal several threads on it.
American subs do indeed dive slower than the german U-boats. Then again they are typically larger.
One trick some folks use is to run with decks awash, this seems to fill the ballast tanks part way allowing a faster dive. Also the less amount of time from your previous dive the faster your current dive will go (water still in ballast tanks).
