air pressure

because if air is lighter than water and you are trying to get a tank full of water to sink you would need a whole lot of air so by compressing lots of air into the tank it makes the tank heavy so it sinks

How submarine sink or float on water?

Submarines sink or float by adjusting their buoyancy through the use of ballast tanks. When water is pumped into these tanks, the submarine becomes heavier than the water around it, causing it to sink. Conversely, to float, the submarine expels water from the ballast tanks, reducing its weight and allowing it to rise to the surface. This ability to control buoyancy enables submarines to navigate underwater and at the surface efficiently.

How long can submarines stay underwater?

Submarines can stay underwater for extended periods, often ranging from several days to weeks, depending on their type and technology. Nuclear-powered submarines can remain submerged for months at a time, limited primarily by food supplies and crew endurance. Conventional diesel-electric submarines typically have shorter underwater endurance, often around a week, due to the need to surface for air or recharge batteries. Advances in technology continue to enhance the underwater capabilities of submarines.
