- Underwater Rugby: A contact sport played underwater in a swimming pool, where teams attempt to score goals by placing a ball into the opposing team's basket.
- Spearfishing: A method of fishing that involves using a spear to catch fish while diving.
- Freediving: The practice of diving underwater without the use of breathing apparatus, relying on breath-holding.
