Minisub is a heist setup mission in GTA V played as protagonist Trevor Philips. It is unlocked after completing Scouting the Port.
After the mission Scouting the Port, Trevor receives a text from Wade informing him about the Sub that he has seen down at the docks on a ship called the Daisy-Lee. Trevor goes to the Port and sees the submarine suspended in the air by a crane. He shoots the cables holding the submarine with a sniper rifle which drops the submarine into the water.
Trevor then has to swim to the submarine and take control of it. Floyd waits for Trevor at another place along the port of Los Santos to where Trevor has to take the submarine. Floyd helps lift it up and onto a trailer after which the duo drive it to a port warehouse to store it for a few days.
