    I'm pretty sure the cartel subs barely go underwater and generally have some part over water.

          You should trust the narco sub because it's carrying something more valuable than human life: cargo. No way they're gonna let 86 million $ of cocaine fall to the bottom of the ocean.

            It probably cost, like, $43 to produce, though. With a high-risk, high-margin good like that you can afford to lose a ton before you have to start worrying about your revenue.

      My understanding is that in the last few years they've been capable of fully submerged travel for some period of time. I think I read somewhere that staying near the surface makes them harder to spot with sonar bc of some interaction between sound waves and the surface.
