: In the novelization of "Raiders" the sub does dive and Indy ties himself to the periscope with his whip. I don't think this works because he's then dragged hundreds of miles thru the ocean and would probably die from hypothermia before he reached the island.
: Also, Indy loses his whip in this scene because he leaves it tied to the sub. I think he loses the fedora here too. It's been years since I last read the novel.

Like we discussed before this doesn't really work either... in one of the scenes the captain raises the scope to look at the island. This would imply that the u-boat is submerged (around 50 feet - periscope depth) and the scope was down.
