The User's Guide and Readme do not seem to state exactly when or how often your crush depth is changed.

Jaesen would, of course, be able to give you a definitive answer.

Can we get an official ruling from the judge on this one?
You are correct, crush depth randomisation occurs every time in an attempt to reflect, as you well put it in another thread, "many real world factors influencing maximum depth such as variances in the steel's quality [JJ: and effects of metal fatigue/subsequent repair over time], salinity and temperature of the water, and even atmospheric pressure".

So recovering from a 253m dive in one patrol does not mean that, all other things being equal, you can expect to recover from a 253m dive in the next patrol (or game session if you've saved mid-patrol). And nor should you expect such constant behaviour. That would be silly!
