Do you know the underwater sports? Some in swimming pools, others in lakes or the sea, but always betting on being in contact with the water and with all the wonders that it allows us to discover. Surely many of you know them, but perhaps others not so much and it is time to get closer to all of them.
The combination of techniques as well as accessories are some of the ideas that are combined in the vast majority of these sports. If the sport itself always has many advantages, in this case, perhaps it will have some more. Because we will discover great surprises in our environment.
Diving is one of the most incredible underwater sports
Under water we have great mysteries and a lot of beauty to discover. So it is not surprising that when it comes to incredible sports, diving is among them. Surely once we dive down to the bottom of the sea, or at least within a limit, we will begin to discover all those colors full of life that will surprise you. Without a doubt, a new world that was already discovered many years ago. So his practice is nothing new but it is impressive, as the years go by. Of course, you have to go with everything you need such as the wetsuit as well as the oxygen cylinder and your glasses. An activity of which there are also courses that will bring you many satisfactions.
Underwater hockey
Although it may not seem like it, all underwater discipline requires an even greater level of effort. So if we talk about underwater hockey, we cannot forget this detail. Even so, it is another of the sports that are also carried out thanks to a series of accessories such as snorkel or breathing tube, fins and even protective gloves. Since you will have to go with your stick and direct a disc that weighs just over a kilo, to score with it the goal that will be the victory. It originated in Great Britain in the 50s and the first world championship was held in the 80s.
Underwater photography also linked to diving
It is one thing to go diving and another is to photograph everything you see in your path. They complement each other but you can also talk about them separately. Without a doubt, taking photos of the seabed is a pleasant experience. That is why, more than sport, it is spoken of as a specialty. But still, for the beauty that results we could not fail to mention it. It was in the nineteenth century when it was possible to take the first picture under water and for this, a kind of box was made that enclosed a camera. So that it does not get wet and the images will come to fruition. In addition to a suitable camera for this, you will also have to be dressed or dressed in the diving clothes for the experience to be more satisfactory.
Swimming with fins
It may seem more complicated than conventional swimming, but it must be said that higher speeds are usually reached. It is another of the underwater sports that originated in the 60s and in Eastern Europe. This discipline can be done on the surface of the water or submerged. In the same way, the practice of it can also be seen both in the sea and in the pools. Sometimes we can see how professionals carry bi-fins, that is to say, one on each foot, or monofins that are single fins where both feet go.
Water rugby
It is not so similar to Rugby that we all know. In this case, water rugby takes place under water, as we could imagine. But in this case it is a matter of playing with a ball to dunk it in the opponent's team's field. Although it may seem like it, it is not that simple, because the ball is not easy to handle. So in this sport, speed and strength are combined, as well as resistance because you have to be underwater at all times.
