Beyond Borders: The Shocking World of Narco Subs
In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the murky waters of narco submarines—those elusive, home-built underwater vessels ferrying some of the most expensive contraband on the planet. We discuss why cocaine can out-price gold or rhodium, and how cartels have responded to tighter security with ever more ingenious solutions beneath the sea. You’ll hear about cramped conditions that would make submarine service look like a five-star vacation, the immense sums of money behind the global drug trade, and the extraordinary lengths builders go to—some even crafting fully submersible, electric-powered vessels deep in remote jungles. If you’ve ever been curious about what it takes to slip tons of illicit product past some of the most advanced law enforcement agencies on Earth, this episode has the answers.
