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.
