No, the buoyant force acting on a submerged submarine is not the same at all depths.
According to Archimedes principle, the buoyant force acting on an object depends on the density of the fluid displaced by the object. The density of the water is not the same at all depths. It is maximum at the bottom. So, the buoyant force exerted on the submarines at different depth will be different due to the variation in the density of the water at different depths.
