TheWoWDBThis quest can be frustrating – lots of people get turned around. Here’s EXACTLY what you need to do:
1) Pick up the quest. Wait.
2) When the submarine transport shows up, board it (a connecting plank will appear).
3) Standing on the stern deck, go through the (only) door, leading you to the subs interior.
4) Proceed down to the second deck – all the way down to the bottom hold! There you will find a pool of water that is an exit access out of the sub.
5) THIS IS THE CRITCAL BIT: Stand next to the pool of water and WAIT! For the love of Gawd, don’t do anything. Don’t jump in the pool of water. Don’t exit the sub. Don't wander around, don't walk up the spirial walkway. Just sit down, shut up and let it happen. The whole thing takes about two very boring minutes…
6) Eventually, you ‘appear’ inside the cave that you so successfully ‘secured’ (yes, you’re awesome). Yellow question marks await…Any deviation from the above instruction leads to one kind of fail or another. You’ve been warned….

Make sure you enter the cabin on the submarine before it dives - otherwise you will not get "Secure Tenebrous Cavern" part completed.
On a similar note, DO NOT go out of the bottom of the sub at any point during the transit. I accidentally did this during the squid part, and did not get credit.

What to do
Description
We've located the beast that destroyed our ships. It makes its lair in Tenebrous Cavern, a giant underwater cave bordering the Abyssal Breach. This time we're ready. The goblins have been proving their worth by making a vicious machine for us back at Bilgewater Harbor, and it's packing firepower that'll make that fiend wet itself. When the Verne pulls up to dock beside the ship, make your way on board and find a way to make yourself useful. We'll be right behind you.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Breath of Fresh Air
Legionnaire Nazgrim and many of the other survivors have already made their way to the surface. I'm sure some are just looking to rid themselves of this place for good, but we still have work to do if we're going to stop the naga from invading the plane of water.
