Underwater Hockey (Octopush)

In some places, underwater hockey (also known by it's cool name 'Octopush') is a relatively popular version of hockey. In this sport, two teams of six push a puck along the bottom of a swimming pool. The sticks are about 30 cm long and the puck is heavier than usual (about 1.3 kg) so that it stays at the bottom. Players wear snorkels and have to come up for air every now and then.
