Planes see you and this is why.... and from greater distances!
Take a sphere and place it on the water... that was the original plane sensor file anything from water lvl up could be seen... (if surfaced you'd get spotted).
now take Ducimus's moddification (TM1.7.5 - 1.7.6).. this pushes the sphere into the water which means you have a semi-circular area under the surface which the planes can look into... the exact depth of this sphere is unknown but if you are at periscope depth they will spot your sub, i believe this also depends on height, speed and type of plane so be warned.
whenever i see a plane i now always go to around 200ft if possible and turn at 90' to port or starboard (turning off your original course is crucial) as in some cases they can and will spot you going down and mark this location and will bomb along this heading once you are under, (Note depending on their speed this may take 5 or 10 minutes!) so if you are sat at 160ft and still following your original heading you may be unlucky enough to get a DC or bomb droped down ya tower...
its not so much the fact they can see you at 160ft its that you probably havent moved far enough from your original dive position and you are still on your original course.
