resubmerged

Went under twice

Resubmerged means submerged again—returned underwater or back below the surface after having risen or been lifted out: The submarine resubmerged after surfacing briefly.

The word applies to anything that goes back under, whether literally underwater or figuratively buried: Old anxieties resubmerged after years of therapy.
