Are waves the right height?

So I wen't and checked the numbers from the ShÃ¤ffers "U-977"

It happened pretty much as I told earlier, there was a terrible storm going on and ShÃ¤ffer was one of them on the bridge. They used to yell warnings everytime a huge wave was about to crash down on them so everyone could prepare for it...When the boat was submerged, he (ShÃ¤ffer) wandered how much longer they would have to be under water and he wanted to shout "Alle Maschinen stop!, anblasen!" but couldn't of course. He hoped that the LI would be alerted and knew what to do and fast. Finally, after long time the bridge surfaced again, all machines were stopped and compressed air hissed into divin tanks. The hatch opened and the LI grinned to his captain and asked if everyone was still there and alive. The boat went to 32 meters and six tons of water rushed in the boat through the valves during the dive.

He (S) said also that it wasn't unusual if the boat would dive to 15 or 20 meters in storms....
