Hull damage and crash depth?

Playing SH4 with TMO and OTC at 100% realism, yes I like a challenge.

Have been reading a lot of threads on the forums here, very interesting! But after years of hibernation I'm not in shape (yet). So, it happens that on the way back home I meet a merchant and don't have any torpedoes left.

This game is not for the faint-hearted (my captain is called Brave Sir Robin) so I attack him with my deck gun. He will go down but it may give some hull damage.

Then, it's still a long way home and I may have to dive to because of some unfriendly destroyers. The problem is, I don't know what the maximum depth is with my level of hull damage.

My question: is there some rule of thumb for the relation between hull damage and crash depth?

For instance, when 25% hull damage, don't dive beyond 75% of your test depth?
