unsubmerged
Not beneath surface
Unsubmerged describes something not underwater or beneath a surface.
It typically refers to objects that remain above water level, either because they never went under or because they've risen: The unsubmerged portion of the iceberg gleamed in the sunlight.
The word can extend figuratively to anything that hasn't been overwhelmed or buried.
