Dive Depths

This is really a two-part question:

1. In my Type VII-c, at around 177-178 meters, the crew starts telling me I am diving too deep. The maximum depth for the boat is listed as 225 meters. Can I actually dive that deep without taking a risk of damage? If I go to 226 will the boat immediately go 'squish'?

2. In the printed manual, the Type VII-c/41 is described as having a "thicker pressure hull enabling it to dive deeper" and yet its operational and maximum diving depths are still listed as the same as the VII-c. Can it really dive deeper? And if so, what are the "real" operational/maximum dive depths?
