Here’s What Daily Life Is Really Like, Living On A Submarine
Sara Portnoy | More | 20 Dec 2025
Those who have ever dreamed about a deep-sea voyage are in for a treat. Not only are submarines one of the most versatile underwater vehicles, but people actually live in them. From bathroom rules, sleeping arrangements, and daily physical activity, here are the most surprising aspects of living aboard a submarine.
It's Either Boring Or Very Dangerous

It takes a certain kind of person to spend their life on a submarine. While most of the time it will be incredibly boring and monotonous, things can turn at the drop of a hat.
The sailors who live on submarines need to be ready for danger at any moment, which is why they go through intense training before climbing aboard.

They Operate At Six-Hour Intervals

Those who choose to live and work on a submarine need to get used to the strict rules aboard. One guideline all sailors must follow is the six-hour segment routine.
ADVERTISEMENT
They live their lives in three six-hour increments. First, they get six hours for sleeping. Next, they must spend six hours on watch. Finally, they get six hours of free time.

They Have To Keep Oxygen Levels Low

Submarines are required to keep their oxygen levels low due to safety concerns. However, that can lead to some dangerous side effects for people.
ADVERTISEMENT
Lower oxygen levels can make it difficult for people to recover from injuries, make the sailors more tired, and cause them to become angrier than usual.

Checking For Leaks

The sailors living aboard submarines need to be diligent, especially when it comes to leaks. Every time they come out of being completely submerged, they need to quickly check for leaks.
ADVERTISEMENT
Even a tiny leak can make all of the difference. Once they find any leaks, they need to patch them up in record time.

Working Out On A Submarine

While living on a submarine may make it seem difficult to get in a good day's workout, it's not impossible. Most submarines have gyms for the sailors to get their exercise.
ADVERTISEMENT
These gyms are usually pretty cramped but come with a decent amount of workout equipment such as weights and treadmills.

Grooming Habits Are More Lenient

Most sailors are told to keep specific grooming habits such as short haircuts and no facial hair. The rules are a bit more lenient on submarines.
ADVERTISEMENT
Since the sailors on submarines aren't interacting with the outside world too much, they can let their grooming habits slide. For example, the photo shows sailors getting groomed before arriving on land after a long voyage.

What They Eat On Submarines

Some may be wondering how sailors eat on a submarine. They usually have a crew aboard who is in charge of the cooking.
ADVERTISEMENT
Sailors are supposed to have three meals a day and food supply usually isn't resupplied for weeks or even months at a time. Their food isn't actually that bad with some common meals being pizza or fish.

They Can't Keep Track Of Time

When a submarine is submerged under the water for long periods of time, it can be difficult to tell what time of day it really is. Sailors aren't able to see sunlight or moonlight.
ADVERTISEMENT
This causes the crew to lose track of time, which can mess with their circadian rhythms.

Training To Live On A Submarine

Those who want to spend their lives on a submarine need to go through a lot of intense training beforehand.
ADVERTISEMENT
According to a former Navy crew member, "...for the first few months, you spend 10 hours a day studying non-stop before marching back and forth. They essentially cram four to six years of college-level information into a six-month period."

Looking For Directions

Going out into an endless sea can seem daunting. The crew members can't rely on regular maps, so they must navigate through something much more complicated.
ADVERTISEMENT
Submarines travel by complex electronic machines that provide detailed information on how to navigate the ocean. Everyone on the submarine has to rely on these machines to get them to their destination.

Sleeping Habits Are Intense

Some crew members had strange experiences when it came to sleeping on a submarine. Since the oxygen levels are lower, it messes with their circadian rhythms.
ADVERTISEMENT
Also, the sailors learn to go into such a deep sleep that they can't hear someone having a loud conversation next to them. However, if they hear their name whispered, it wakes them up instantly.

Sleeping Next To Something Dangerous

Sleeping on a submarine is already cramped enough, but it gets even less spacious when the sailors are forced to share their bedroom with dangerous weapons.
ADVERTISEMENT
Their bedroom is also referred to as the missile room because it is loaded with weapons such as ballistic missiles, torpedoes, and nuclear warheads.

They Share Beds

Sleeping on a submarine is one of the most challenging things the crew members do. Not only are their sleeping quarters limited, but there usually aren't enough beds for everyone.
ADVERTISEMENT
The racks typically have two or three beds on top of each other, but sailors will often have to wake up a sleeping comrade to trade places after a shift.

Never Steal On A Submarine

It's important that the people aboard a submarine are able to trust one another. This trust can go out the window if people start stealing from each other.
ADVERTISEMENT
Those who are caught stealing will have to deal with some dire consequences. The perpetrators will get kicked off the submarine and dropped off at the next port, get demoted, and drop in rank.

They Form Incredible Bonds

Going away for months or years at a time means that sailors are bound to get close to one another.
ADVERTISEMENT
The crew members are going to become one big family, so they form a tight bond. This allows them to work together as a team and distracts them from any homesickness.
Can you guess how long a typical submarine voyage lasts?

Bathroom Space Is Extremely Limited

ADVERTISEMENT
Everything is extremely cramped inside a submarine, especially when it comes to bathrooms. Submarines have to fit large machinery, so they leave little room for other necessities.
ADVERTISEMENT
While it may seem hard for just one sailor to deal with this, they must share these small quarters with the rest of the crew members.

Be Careful With What You Pack
