This year’s event showcased the depth, passion, and competitiveness of underwater hockey in the UK. From seasoned clubs to developing squads, every division delivered moments of skill, teamwork, and determination. The top scorers across each division also deserve special recognition for their standout performances in front of goal.

A special mention must go to the referees and volunteers, whose hard work behind the scenes made the weekend possible. Without their dedication, Nautilus simply couldn’t run at this scale.

👏 Congratulations once again to all teams who competed. With the sport growing stronger every year, we’re already looking forward to seeing what Nautilus 2026 will bring!
