I was in California on my honeymoon. We were in San Francisco and I noticed that one of the tourist attractions was the USS Pampanito, a WW2 sub. I was really torn as I'm claustrophic as hell and thinking about those cramped spaces freaked me out but really wanted to see it so we went early in the morning when it would be as empty as possible.
It was just amazing wandering round an old sub and I really enjoyed it, not a hint of claustropobia as there was so much to look at. This started an interest in subs but it didn't take off until more recently when SH3 was voted the best sim. I'd heard of it but never played it so I bought it and then I was seriously hooked. I then read Das Boot and the rest is history :-)
