It really shouldn't take too much to make a ship fully submesible.
There are three big problems: water pressure, make the ship watertight, and
movement. A helm takes care of movement. Making a ship watertight
shouldn't be too difficult, although you might end up with only a couple of
hatches. The big obstacle is water pressure, a killer even today. But
there are almost infinite possible resources in wildspace, so a good DM
could just do some handwaving and create a wood or metal that renders a ship
immune to the effects of underwater pressure. Or perhaps you could have an
airy-water effect surrounding the ship, in essence making the ship immune to
pressure. Or a layer of a tar-like substance that mimics the effects of a
wall of force. Etc.
