All Submariners, regardless of rank, are always in some type of training, either underway or in port. There is no "training dive" if that's what you're referring to. All new crew members submerge with everyone else. I was asleep for my first submergence.
Submarine Sailors are trained at Submarine School in Groton on basic submarine operation, damage control techniques, history, and many other subjects pertaining to submarines as a weapons platform. No one who is assigned to any submarine is ever clueless - even in Submarine School you are tested to see if you can properly deal with pressure changes in a controlled pressure chamber. You are placed in a Damage Control trainer (known as the "Wet Trainer"), in which you're subjected to real-world flooding and damage conditions and expected to deal with them. You are given training on a Control Room simulator as well.
In other words, you're not thrown in blind. Everyone knows what to expect before they get there.

How long can a submarine go?
A submarine, theoretically, can go as long as the food for its sailors last. A submarine can make oxygen, distill water, remove CO2 and other pollutants, and provide almost anything needed to survive at sea and underwater for nearly an indefinite period of time. Modern nuclear-powered submarines' reactors will last without refueling for the life of the submarine - about 20 years. In 1960, the nuclear-powered submarine USS Triton circumnavigated the globe submerged.

How long is a submarine sandwich?

Could submarines fire torpedos underwater?
Yes. The idea of the submarine is the element of surprise. Before nuclear power submarines ran on either battery power or diesel power. Every so often it needed to surface (or use a snorkle - no kidding, it's called a snorkle) to run the diesel (which would both propel the sub and charge the battery) Now, with nuclear power, the submarine can stay underwater as long as there is food for the crew. A submarine nuclear reactor can last for years.
What is the estimate for the length of a submarine?

How long can a submarine be in the water?
A nuclear powered submarine can remain submerged for as long as it has fuel rods and supplies for the crew.
