submarino


Explanation:
submarino o bajo el agua. Pueder ser "underwater" y no tener que estar por debajo de la linea de flotación", sino dentro del agua. Mi experiencia realizando trabajos "underwater" son "bajo / dentro" del agua = submarino (en lo referente al mar).
Suerte.
Ejemplo UWT = teléfono submarino.
