submergeable
Able to sink
Submergeable describes something capable of being placed or operated underwater: submergeable pumps, submergeable electronics.
The word functions like submersible but emphasizes the ability to be submerged rather than designed for underwater operation.
A submergeable watch can handle immersion; a submersible vessel is built to travel beneath the surface.
