The whale is flexible. The submarine is not, and is therefore subject to crushing from the pressure.

How much submarine dive into deep water?

All military submarines dive into deep water. The deeper they can cruise,the harder they are to find. I call 'deep' any more than 120 feet down, but most modern military submarines can operate as deep as 900 feet, many even to 1500 and possibly more. There are now many civilian submarines (shallow divers) which show tourists the undersea reefs and fish life. These generally operate between 30 and 90 feet down and I doubt that any could safely dive deeper than 200 feet at most.

How does the submarine's density compare to the water?

Submarines have variable density. When a submarine is in port, its overall density is less than that of water so some of it is above the surface of the water. They're made out of steel, which is more dense than water, but they're hollow; most of the volume of a submarine is air. To make a submarine able to dive, they pump water into tanks. By adjusting the amount of water, they can make the density equal to water's density, which allows the boat to stay at a certain depth without expending energy to hold it up.
