Equipment
To get started in underwater hockey you’ll need a few key pieces of gear. Most items come with a range of options and styles, so players can choose what best suits their comfort and play style. Below we’ve highlighted the essential equipment, along with some notes on customisation, and provided trusted sources where you can purchase what you need.
Sticks
Used to push, pass, flick and with a range of different designs. Remember you’ll need one black and one white stick. 
Mouthguard
Protects your teeth and mouth from bumps, and easily attaches to your snorkel (or you can use an in-mouth style if preferred). |
Glove
A protective glove is worn on your stick hand to prevent scrapes and impacts with the pool floor or puck. 
Snorkel
Lets you take a breath from the surface while still keeping an eye on the play as it unfolds; must be flexible enough to bend without breaking. |
Mask
Providing clear vision to see the game underwater, with a snug fit to keep the action in focus. Masks should not be glass to ensure safety during play 
Cap
A protective cap with ear guards (normally provided by schools and clubs) keeps your ears safe during play. |
Fins
Fins provide the speed and agility needed to move quickly and powerfully through the water. 
Puck
The key game piece, typically weighing 1.2-1.5 kg and made of lead with a plastic coating. While not essential to purchase, having your own is useful for extra training and practice. |
