We characterize some isometric immersions of a compact Riemannian manifold into a tube of Sn(λ) or CPn(λ) (in fact, in some more general spaces in the real case) around a totally geodesic Sq(λ) or CPq(λ) respectively, with the norm of the mean curvature of the immersion bounded from above. This bound depends on the radius of the tube, and is related with the mean curvature of its boundary.
