Air is trapped in the ballast tanks which surround the boat. This makes it positively bouyant (why it floats). To submerge the boat the air is vented out of the tanks via the main ballast tank vents which are at the highest point in the tank. As the air escapes seawater comes into the tank through the flood grates located at the bottom of the main ballast tanks. This makes the boat heavier or negatively bouyant and causes it to sink. Once submerged then the crew adjusts the weight of the boat (called trimming the boat) so that it is as close to neutrally bouyant as possible.
There are hundreds of different tanks in the world.

It depends entirely on the size of the boat, but 5 or 6 Main Ballast Tanks (port and starboard) and 4 or 5 Trim Tanks are the average.
The lowest deck on a multi-decked ship is referred to as the Orlop deck. Below this are the bilges and in some cases double bottom tanks or spaces for ballast.

yes it is
They are called tanks, unless you refer to a specific tank in which case it is called by its particular name.
It is the control planes on the submarine that are the primary method of normally controlling the rate of ascent or descent of the craft. Note that submarines have a few different configurations as regards planes. The stern planes are used alone, or in conjunction with the bow planes, if the boat is equiped with the latter ones, to change what is called "the bubble" or the angle of attack. On some boats, there are planes on what is called the fairwater or sail ("conning tower"), and these, the so-called fairwater planes, can be used to change depth slowly while maneuvering. It is these planes that are instrumental in maintaining depth on a properly trimmed boat as they are centrally mounted, and act to push the "whole boat" down or up without changing the bubble. Ballast tanks are flooded completely to dive and to conduct subsurface operations. The bouyancy of the boat (along with the trim) is controlled by the partially flooding the trim tanks.
To change the buoyancy of the boat and allow it to rise and sink in the water.
