UNDERWATER HOCKEY
Gain confidence in the water, keep fit, meet new people and travel!
What is Underwater Hockey?
Underwater hockey was first established in the 1950’s, with the aim of keeping scuba divers active and in the water during the winter months. Since then, it has developed into a competitive sport, played in over 40 countries. The game consists of 6 players, pushing the puck past the opposition and into the goal. UWH is a limited contact, mixed team sport.

Tournaments and trips
The DCU team have taken part in many tournaments across both Ireland, and Europe. We've competed in 4 tournaments this year, with two of them abroad. This year we travelled to Parma, Italy and Southampton, UK. These trips are a great way to socialise, immerse yourself in new cultures, and to represent Ireland abroad.
