Equipment

It is compulsory for all NSW underwater hockey players to wear protective gear: a glove on their playing hand and a cap with ear protection. No player can participate in training or competitions without it.

All required gear is FREE to use for new players. If you have your own mask and snorkel, bring it along!

Mask

Your mask should be made with safety glass. It should be low volume (minimal air inside). Look for something small and comfortable.

Fins

Fins need soft edges so as not to hurt other players. Use something durable that fits well.

Gloves

Gloves are purpose-made from latex or silicone. These can be purchased from True Blue.

Caps

Underwater hockey caps are water polo caps with protective ear pieces. You'll need two (one white, one blue). Buy from most sports shops.

Snorkels

Snorkels come in many designs. Look for one that’s soft and flexible, with as wide a pipe as possible.

Sticks or Bats

The sticks or bats are purpose-made. Each player needs a pair: one white, one black.

The Puck

The underwater hockey puck is made from lead and covered with plastic to protect the playing surface.
