By exploiting a game glitch or downloading mods, a submarine can be used in "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas."
"Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" follows Carl Johnson on his quest to save his family and take back his hometown. You have access to a variety of land, sea and air transportation throughout the game. While the Xbox, PlayStation 2 and PC versions of the game feature a glitch where you can ride "The Vortex" hovercraft underwater, there is a mod for the PC version that adds a true-blue submarine to Carl's available vehicles.

The Vortex Underwater Glitch
1. Locate "The Vortex" hovercraft on the beach of the Bayside Marina.
2. Drive "The Vortex" toward El Quebrados. Between El Quebrados and the airfield, you'll see a ramp. Speed up and drive over the ramp.
3. Continue forward towards the reservoir, even after your vehicle leaves the screen. You'll hit the side of the dam. The camera angle will shift, and "The Vortex" will be suspended underwater.
