submerged
Beneath the surface
Submerged means underwater or covered by liquid: The submerged wreckage lay on the ocean floor.
By extension, something submerged is hidden or obscured: submerged tensions, submerged memories.
A submerged population or community exists beneath notice, overlooked by mainstream society.
