Here is a pretty instructive game that I sometimes have students do while working on Peak Performance Buoyancy. I place a slate on the floor and have them play a game like tic tac toe. Except when touching the slate for their turn, touching the floor = loss of turn.

Playing catch with rubber torpedoes is popular, but it can be counterproductive if not done right. Too often they will kneel down and play static catch, which teaches nothing. I tell them that they have to be moving while they play, and they should try to hit their targets on the move.

under water hockey? It's usually played with a snorkel and fins but on scuba it would take on another dimension.

I like paper-scisssors-and-rocks with students. It requires no skills or physical exertion and for people new to the underwater environment, it helps them relax and assures them that they don't have to be fixated with their equipment all the time.

I like to have them play dominoes or checkers with slightly negative pieces so any skulling will disturb the pieces and the guilty party has to reset the game and playing the game is great for working on buoyancy they get so busy playing that they forget about the buoyancy and it ends up happening naturally before they even realize they have been hovering horizontally motionless.

A local shop around here has done underwater putt putt, and frisbee

Some of my friends have me play single player games like patch my pool, or clean my pool filter.... I haven't quite found out the objective...but one of my buds said it is really fun and made me give him a doorknob, funner than whitewashing a fence he said.....
