ok, just one point...i used to think the same thing about indy on the "submerged" submarine....however:
i have been told (i forget where) that there was ORIGINALLY supposed to be a scene IN BETWEEN indy gettin on the boat, and arriving at the island, where indy has tied his whip around the periscope and been dragged all the way....this scene (supposedly) was cut from the production due to time and money constraints.
now, the PROBABILITY? well, when a sub goes under water, it does not necessarily dive to hundreds of feet below the surface...in fact, it was more common to just skim below the surface of the water, and use the periscope to see possible threats on the water...
i COULD Be wrong on this, considering i'm not exactly an expert on WWII or submarines... speakin of, the new movie "U-571" has a lot of info on subs....you might wanna take a look...takes place in WWII (just like RAIDERS!)
just my ideas...

PS...petroleum would hurt like hell...you're absolutely right on that point...i've always thought that as well
