My patrol area was very far so rather than get attacked by a destroyer or something, I just exited my patrol.

Is there any other way to dive or is it impossible without the bow dive planes?

Ya, You should be able to just "flood"your Bal tanks but in this sim. I do think that the damage to your bow plane has left you as a "sitting duck".......sorry mate!........ and know that I think about it,I was in the same jam once and I did a crash dive! and lets just say she never came up again...... :|\
