The submarine is a unique feature in Monster Hunter Rise that allows players to send their buddies out on a trading mission, and at the start of the game, you only get one slot to do this. To get more submarines, you will need to complete requests, and one such quest is cultural exchange; here's how to complete it.
To complete cultural exchange and get the extra submarine slot, you will need to find and deliver three wisplanterns and three boatshells. To get the wisplanterns you will need to visit the Shrine Ruins and harvest them from a special gathering point called Shimmering Red Berry points. Here's where you can find these special gathering points below.

Where to find BoatShells in Monster Hunter Rise
Unlike wisplanterns, boatshells are a bit harder to get, as you can't simply find them in any quest or expedition. Luckily, one quest, in particular, will lead you right to them. The quest is called Plump and Juicy, and can be found under two-star village quests.
Once you find the quest, accept it and then embark. After the loading screen, you will arrive in the frozen islands. After this point, you will need to locate gathering points called oyster beds. At these points, you will get raftshells, along with boat shells. That being said, you can find oyster beds already marked for you on the map by green dots, so find the beds and gather and get three boatshells.
Once you get the boatshells, you can then turn the request in, and upon completion, you will get your extra submarine slot.
