"Through" would only be used in special circumstances, for example:

The sub dived through the minefield without hitting anything.

The sub dived through the hail of gunfire and submerged.

Ordinarily, "through" would not be used, for example:

The sub is diving.

The sub is in dive mode.

The sub has spotted us and is diving.
