"U Bootskunde für U Boote Bauart VII C" (http://uboatarchive.net/Manual.htm, page 85) says:
"The stored oxygen and sodium hydroxide cartridges enable the crew of 37 men, to remain continuously submerged for 72 hours."

There are also individual "Tauchretters" for the crew members, which could make this time some longer.
