Either of those will slam you into the bottom seems the sailors follow orders to a fault... good little sailors :p

In shallow waters I will order periscope depth 'P' and once under check the water beneath the keel and set depth manually by clicking on the depth gauge.
Yeah it was P in deep waters, then crawled in at PD to get in close (took several 'game' hours to get there at 1/3). Never checked the depth under keel, and that's what caught me.

Odd thing was that the really shallow area that killed me wasn't near the shore - it was a mile or so offshore. Must have been a coral ridge or something like that. Argh!
