Are there any submarine group trips originating from the UK?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0;
I would like to try travelling on a submarine- are there such trips for a reasonable price?
Google results showed only this ridiculously expensive offer
"Sailing the seas in a luxury submarine".
By reasonable I mean open to the public to travel in a group of 20-50 persons where it would cost less than £3000.

Most "submarines" for tourists, with viewports (which to me is the only reason to travel that way) are not geared for more than a couple of hours and not really for deep dives.

The closest thing I can find to what you want in the UK is the Atlantis Submarine Voyage at Legoland Windsor. Here you travel in a vehicle with a view underwater. However, it may disapoint you as: It is in a tank, not the sea; part of the vehicle always remains above water; the vehicle is propelled along by the track, it is not self-locomoting.
Equally, if you are interested in travelling outside of the UK, then there are many opportunities. See for example this article on escapeartists, or closer to the UK than most of those, this canary island based company. I recall seeing several firms offering subs of varying sizes in the Cancun area of Mexico on a recent (2015) trip.
This article indicates a company was planning in 2002 to run tours out of the UK south coast, but it seems that the tours never happened.
Finally, see this question.

Most submarines that are set up for longer voyages are military vessels and don't take tourists unless you want to sign up for a three year hitch. And they don't have viewports. Most "submarines" for tourists, with viewports (which to me is the only reason to travel that way) are not geared for more than a couple of hours and not really for deep dives.

Back in 1996 and 1997 there were submarine tours in Loch Ness, but it "was not a financial success owing to the very short season and the limited visibility in the depths of the loch". Beyond that... there are submarine tours in Bermuda, which is technically a British territory :-)... I'm afraid the poor underwater visibility and variable weather in the UK make such a tour likely to not be viable, unfortunately.
