In what looks like a combination of land rugby, water polo, and basketball, players—who wear bathing suits, flippers, a swim cap, goggles, and a snorkel to breathe—stay completely underwater as they move the ball around and pass it to each other.

We have no idea how this would look on the surface with a crowd watching below, but it’s really easy to imagine the sports commentators, the replays, and all of the action a broadcast could capture.
