Hi Rafik,
Yes it was possible for a WWII U-boat to dive to 260 meters and survive. It was rare and in general it was an accident caused by damage to the boat. The calculated crush depth was around 250 meters but was just an estimate and a few boats went deeper during the war and survived though I am guessing that most boats that went that deep did not survive.
Regards,
Ken Dunn
