Underwater Rugby
The sport involves threading a ball in the opposing team's goal. Apparently not very complicated, right? and the object of the game is very similar to any other team sport, like football, basketball or water polo. However, what makes this sport unique is not the goal, but the manner and conditions as the game develops.
There are two teams of eleven players each, six in the water and five on the bench. Players have, apart from her swimsuit and cap of identification, such as those used for water polo, a basic scuba gear: fins (flippers), mask (visor) and snorkel (snorkeling) and purpose of the game is to move the ball into the opponent's goal. So far we see nothing peculiar, but mentioned that the goals are at the bottom of a pool for diving or jumping pit at a depth of 3, 5 and 5 meters, and we noticed that the game is not as simple as that.

Anectdote
2 years ago
we went with my family
to Brazil, Buzios. One of the first things we
did was go to a beach called
Playa Tortuga who apparently was very famous.
To get there were about 30 minutes or 45 minutes walking through a forest next to a road. we arrived with not much to say, but a half hour later, a lot of clouds came from nowhere. We thought that that was normal ( we where on winter) and we stayed, but an hour later the rain started. Actually it wasnt as bad as one could think, because the rain in countries like brazil is not as cold as in other countries.
well, we couldnt stay in the beach during a storm, so we decided to return to the hotel, but 30 minutes walking in the forest in the mud... Finally we arrived to Buzios, but the hotel was at the other side of the city. We had to call for a taxi, but no one of them wanted us wet inside.and finally We took a taxi to the hotel but an hour or 2 later.
