Morphology

submarining = submarine (transparent) = sub + marine + ing

This is a regular -ing nominalization of the verb 'submarine', and that verb is itself transparently built from 'sub' + 'marine'.

Etymology

Submarining comes from sub- 'under' and marine 'sea', the same idea as submarine meaning 'under the sea'. So it describes operating or travelling below the water's surface.
