It depends on the size of the boat and the type of water it's in (saltwater is more buoyant than fresh), but in most cases the average time is less than a minute from popping the corks on the Main Ballast Tanks to the time the Sail clears the waterline. The pictures you see of today's modern submarines only show about the top 1/5 of the boat; the rest is underwater. Once the Main Ballast Tanks start flooding and all that water comes in, it doesn't take much time to get underwater.

How submarine caused to submerge without use propulsion propeller and fins?
A submarine can submerge by filling ballast and trimmer tanks with sea water. The additional weight will take the submarine down. To resurface, the submarine will blow the sea water out of the tanks using compressed air. The air in the tanks make the submarine buoyant, so it rises and floats on the surface. Though a stationary submarine can submerge in this way, it usually submerges going forward and using diving plane (fins) to steepen the dive, so getting under the surface faster.
