Submarines can go straight to the bottom of the ocean if they're not careful. Diving isn't a problem; it's making the number of surfaces equal the number of dives that's the trick.

The actual diving depths of most military submarines is classified; e.g., the official Navy statement on U.S. submarine depths has always been greater than 400'. The true depth depends on the construction design and material. Even the depths reported on public sites and books are estimates and not confirmed military values.

While the actual military depths can't be revealed, the generally reported estimated depths on most sites is between 1000 and 2000 feet for most submarines, and that's not inaccurate.

Humans have gone to the deepest known part of the ocean, the Challenger Deep area of the Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Though it was in a bathyscaphe (Trieste) and not a submarine, the recorded depth was 35,797 feet, a record which still stands today.

What is the name of the submarine that kids can use to explore the titanic?

There is no sub that goes to the Titanic. The Titanic is so deep in the cold waters that it takes a special diving bell that can go down that far and deep. Films have been made of the 2-3 trips that it has made and you can most likely find them online.
