UNDERWATER HOCKEY.

Palm Beach Underwater Hockey (pbuwh) has been in existence since 1979. UW hockey, or UWH, also goes by the older name of Octopush in the UK

****

Underwater Hockey dramatically improves one's snorkeling and scuba skills and overall level of comfort in the water. New players are always welcome. Bring mask, snorkel, and fins.

The weather sometimes does not co-operate. Take note though, that in Florida there may be squalls and small rain and thunder and lightning storms moving about. Sometimes lightning keeps us out of the water, but most of the time the lightning goes away and we do play, maybe starting late. And the pool is always warm, rain or shine.
