Development of Underwater Hockey (originally called Octopush, but often referred to as UWH) requires many different aspects of the sport to be seen in a national context. There is probably little that hasn’t already been considered and achieved at some level, but in order to get the recognition it deserves requires national, regional and local initiatives. This is being done by our Regional Sport Development Officers listed below.
