unimmersed
Staying above water
Not submerged or plunged into something.
The term appears in both literal and figurative contexts: The unimmersed portion of the hull remained visible above the waterline.
Figuratively, it describes someone who hasn't fully engaged with an experience or subject: She remained unimmersed in office politics, preferring to focus on her work.
