But pay attention to his bearing changes to work out what he is really up to. A contact may get louder (closer) but is he going past you?

If its an escort and it looks like he's just steaming close by thats the time to go silent and order all stop. Remember to alter your depth when you order all stop! (Don't want to broach the surface now).

If he's heading straight for you... Well good luck Herr Kaleun, better you than me!

I'm usually at 200m or deeper when I sit by the sonar station to listen, so I'm not affraid of sudden surfacing. Rather of going to deep because of water on-board... Those bastard DC-s are really not nice at close ranges. Luckily I haven't been hit by any of them and I hope it's not the end of my luck (only suffered from sudden surface attack from nowhere and from planes).

And of course you are right -- better him than you and better you than me!
