resubmerging

Going underwater again

Resubmerging is the act of going back underwater or below the surface after having come up.

The word applies literally to divers, submarines, or objects: The whale surfaced briefly before resubmerging.

Figuratively, it describes returning to an immersive state: After the interruption, she had trouble resubmerging in her work.
