Be aware that running that way also cuts your speed, or looking at it another way, increases your fuel comsumption. It's not a freebee

Both, 6 meters and 7 meters are decks awash settings.

At seven meters, only your conning tower will be above surface. Whereas at 6 meters your main deck will we slightly above the surface.

On an IX type boat, with decks awash ,you cut your diving time by half.

Yup. You no longer need a calendar to measure your dive times, you can just use a standard 24 hour clock.
