When should you start surfacing after dive starting?

Right now, I lift my head up as soon as my legs submerge in fear of hitting the tiles with my head (where I swim, the pool does not have recessed starting area), but I was wondering, theoretically speaking, when exactly is the ideal point at which I should stop submerging and start surfacing.

    you should kick out untill your underwater speed is equall to your swimming speed. This could be 4 meter or it could be 15 but there are only a few people in the world limited to the 15 meter mark except in backstroke which has many people that are limited by the 15 meter mark.
