Try the "A" key. But save the game first, in case you get a CTD.

@ Steamwake: I mean to dive 'deeper' than the gauge allows for though. The gauge only lets me dive to 160, which usually is still 30 feet above the thermal layer. Is there another way to dive to a specific depth that I don't know about?

@ Munchausen: thanks... I'll try using D and A to see if that works.

What you're looking at is the shallow depth meter. if you click the little bar under it, you get the full depth meter, which will allow you to take your boat to crush depth and beyond.

I would include a screenshot, but I haven't quite figured it out on this forum yet lol.

wow...I'm constantly finding things are designed so much easier than how I'm doing them.... that's why I ask.

Thanks! Imagine that.. a little bar underneath! I couldn't even see it!

Just about everyone overlooks that at first. No worries

Some great guides here on SS seek and ye shall find.
