Detected by enemy in shallow waters.

What is the best tactic to avoid destruction if you happen to get detected by an enemy ship in shallow waters? I made the stupid mistake of getting spotted by an ASW Trawler in the English Channel and obviously couldn't get away, so I sat on the bottom and proceeded to get turned into scrap metal by depth charges.

I assume its a case of "don't get spotted", but is there any hope whatsoever if you get caught in the shallows?
