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 can nuclear submarines travel underwater?

Just like diesel submarines travel underwater, but for much longer periods as the nuclear engine does not consume the oxygen in the air. The older diesel submarines were limited to running on batteries or using a schnorkel to get air for the engines when underwater, so usually they traveled on the surface like regular ships only submerging to prepare for an attack with torpedoes on passing enemy ships. The nuclear submarines can practically travel underwater forever, until they need to be resupplied with food for the crew.
