Planesmen were not at the diving planes when surfaced, because in that condition planes do not need to be manned at all. They are useless
The watch crew was in charge of manning the diving planes when the boat had to go down. The petty officer started charging ballast when the order of diving was given, and the watch crew hurried from the top to pick the dive planes.

Hell of alife when you see your planesmen vanishing and reapearing with every second wave ? No way, I'm waiting for da fix or I'll flush it down the toilet soon

Also happens with the watch crew, they dissapear/reappear when diving/surfacing. I guess DD will refine the process to ensure the planesmen do not pop in and out.
