Underwater Rugby

Underwater rugby is not very famous nowdays,however it is becoming more popular.

2 teams with the same goal, introducing the ball inside the goal of the opponet team. Apparently it's not very difficult,right?The players have, apart from their swimsuit a cap of identification, fins, masks and snorkel.So far we can not see anything unusual.

Nevertheless,bearing in mind that the goal is at a depth of 3.5 to 5 meters,now it is not as simple as we thought.Another fact is that as this sport is performed underwater the players need to have a good physical condition in order to stay underwater a long time.Although when they can´t hold more the respiration they go out the water take air and submarge again.

Another interesting thing in this sport is the ball as you need a specific one in order to maintain it underwater.This ball is filled with salty water thank to this the ball can be desplaced up to 2 or 3 metres.

 Here I leave you a video so you can watch how this sport is played.
